show_first_scene(): Scene is briefly visible about scene_manager

[maktoobgar]

Hello, it seems like in your scenario, ready function is getting called so late so that the first scene is getting shown for a small time.
What I can suggest is that instead of running those three lines in _ready function, run them in _tree_entered and see if anything changes and it works as expected or not.
Keep me posted.

Thank you for answering. Unfortunately there is no _tree_entered func, at least not in Godot 4. But I tried _enter_tree(). With this I dont see any fade at all.

I found a workaround, though: Use ColorRect instead of Node, set its color to black and use the updated code:

extends ColorRect


func _enter_tree() -> void:
    z_index = 100


func _ready() -> void:
    await get_tree().create_timer(2).timeout
    z_index = 0

    var fadeIn = SceneManager.create_options(1, "fade", 0.1, false)
    var options = SceneManager.create_general_options("black", 0.0, false, true)
    SceneManager.show_first_scene(fadeIn, options)

Hi again, _enter_tree() is exactly what I meant by that I just thought _tree_entered was the name of it, sorry for my poor English. I just understood what I wrote and I'm laughing while typing this. XD

Anyway, Back to the problem, if you think this is ok and fixes your problem for now, good, but if you are interested in helping to find out what is the problem, you can provide me with a scenario which this behavior happens in it and I can check that project out and find out what is going wrong in the addon and fix it.
Inform me if you made a repository for this purpose.

No problem :) Was easy enough to find the function name with your hint 👍

To be honest, I think it's a godot problem. Because sometimes even the workaround doesn't work, sometimes it does.
So I will close here :)
