Remove keyboard callback

[Sawyer]

I have an opening screen to my game where the use can press any key to start.

I implemented this using:

  this.game.input.keyboard.addCallbacks(this, function() {
      this.state.start("Menu");
  });

My problem is that this callback persists over into other states, so if I press any key it always take me back to my Menu state.

I've looked at the Documentation and tried both:

  this.game.input.keyboard.addCallbacks(this, null, null, null);

and

  this.game.input.keyboard.reset(true);

Neither of which did the trick.

I then simply replaced the callback with:

this.game.input.keyboard.addCallbacks(this, function() {});

Which seems to have solved the problem.

2 questions here:

1. Is there a cleaner way to do this?
2. Would having an empty callback like this impact performance in any way?

I have the same question.

I'm adding a comment so I know when someone responds...

Maybe you could instead use this.game.input.keyboard.onDownCallback, and nullify it when done with it?

By the way, states have a shutdown() method called when the state is shutdown, so I guess it would be quite clean to nullify the onDownCallback method there.

A bit late to the party, but...

this.game.input.keyboard.stop();

Will stop the keyboards events from being fired.

The addCallbacks method is just a helper for setting onDownCallback, onUpCallback and onPressCallback. See the documentation for more details: http://phaser.io/docs/2.6.2/Phaser.Keyboard.html

It looks like you should just do

var keyboard = this.game.input.keyboard;
keyboard.onDownCallback = keyboard.onUpCallback = keyboard.onPressCallback = null;
