Detect replay mode?

[quietmint]

In JavaScript side, is there a way to detect that the game is in replay mode? For example, I do not want to run this code which starts a timer unless the game is really active.

Code: Select all

onUpdateActionButtons: function(stateName, args) {
    console.log('Update action buttons: ' + stateName, args);
    if (this.isCurrentPlayerActive()) {
        var timer = setInterval( ... , 1000);

Code: Select all

          if (typeof g_replayFrom != "undefined") {
                console.log("reply on");
                return;
            }

Thanks Victoria. It appears there are two different replay modes, "Replay from this move" -- which sets g_replayFrom global variable -- and "Replay last turn" -- which does not.

Instead, I used this approach which detects both:

Code: Select all

var isReplay = document.getElementById('previously_on').style.display == 'block';

That seems to be more hacky... What is this.game.instantaneousMode set to in this case?
Maybe it just

Code: Select all

if (typeof g_replayFrom != "undefined" || this.game.instantaneousMode ) {
                console.log("reply on");
                return;
            }

instantaneousMode is set to false in both live and replay cases.

These seem to be the two variables to check:

Code: Select all

var isInstantReplay = typeof g_replayFrom != "undefined"; // during the game
var isArchiveReplay = g_archive_mode; // after game has ended
