Autoplay on project embeds doesnt work yet

@info-creaticode Is it working on your end? Perhaps it may be something with my device, I’ll test it on a Windows by hopefully tommorow.

Can you share the link to the page you are testing this with?

[jeffreyrb03-gmail]

@info-creaticode Got it, the one from earlier: https://cdn.creaticode.com/scratch-gui-projects/forum/e38e2373-f86b-4930-88ab-ca2e69dd93b3.html .

This one is not auto starting. We will look into why.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Can you please try to test it again?

@info-creaticode I tried myself, it didn’t auto start.

If you open this link,

https://cdn.creaticode.com/scratch-gui-projects/forum/e38e2373-f86b-4930-88ab-ca2e69dd93b3.html

what do you get? This is what we are seeing:

[NotJaldolfYT]

@jd131111 I see that without any buttons.

[NotJaldolfYT]

@info-creaticode That might’ve been confusing, I meant that I don’t see Multiplayer, Singleplayer, and Exit Game.

Are you running on chrome? A laptop, iPad or a Chromebook?

[jeffreyrb03-gmail]

@info-creaticode It works! Thank you! I notice it uses autoPlay=true which I’ll make sure to put back into my game, and it works with btnOptions=none.

@info-creaticode
Isn’t a Chromebook considered a laptop?

[jeffreyrb03-gmail]

@c It is but it’s very different from the average laptop, considering the inability to use .exe files and you have less options for things than a Windows or Mac. When it comes to like debugging stuff and all, it makes sense to have Chromebook in its own category I guess.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I have a Chromebook of my own without Linux, if I turn on dev mode will it allow Linux to be enabled or still no? I can tell you the Chromebook type if you need it

[silvlove]

Developer mode requires a factory reset in the process.
Also you can already access Linux in Settings > About Chrome/Device.

You only need Developer Mode to download any .apk.

[TAO]

@c no, because it says “Linux is not available with this device”

[jeffreyrb03-gmail]

@the_true_odst I had a personal chromebook, and downloaded APKs on it before, not sure about you but if that wont work then I doubt Linux will work. If you have terminal access (an app called “Terminal”) then you can do pretty much anything, but you need to know what commands to type. Pretty sure it takes Linux commands, there’s online guides for that. I believe that if you use something called “Wine”, you might be able to run .exe files on a chromebook, but it is very hard to do and I havent done it myself yet. I don’t know if that’s a good idea though, and doing something wrong could have bad effects or ruin your chromebook. Chromebooks suck though (as I have to use one everyday) and for games or running programs, Windows/Mac is better. Linux requires a lot of programming knowledge and has you interact with the OS directly. So yeah do what you will with that info, but take it with a grain of salt and I recommend asking someone first or gaining more programming knowledge if you wanna mess with Linux and all.

@c said in Autoplay on project embeds doesnt work yet:

Normally a Chromebook runs on ChromeOS, while a laptop runs on windows/macOS/linux

[jeffreyrb03-gmail]

@info-creaticode Also thank you for fixing the autoPlay, my game is alot better now!

@the_true_odst
Then your device owner, probably your school, disabled Linux, or your parental control settings block it ?
