Javascript Cancel SetTimeout after button is clicked
There is an ok button and a cancel button
The code below will do this:
After I open dialog input , auto click the Cancel button after 10 seconds.
if(SceneManager._scene instanceof Scene_InputDialog) {
setTimeout(function () {document.getElementById("inputDialog-CancelBtn").click();}, 10000);
}
If I click the ok button during those 10 seoconds , I will get this error below .( because after 10 seconds, it will try to auto click the cancel button which doesn't exist anymore; If Ok button is clicked, the cancel button will disappear)
Uncaught Type error: Cannot read propety 'click' of null
How should I clear the SetTimeout if the Ok button is clicked ?
Thanks in advance for any help
If I need to add reference to the OK button handler, how should I add it.
below is my other codes.
okButton.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
okFunc();
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
cancelButton.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
cancelFunc();
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
okButton.addEventListener('touchend', function (e) {
okFunc();
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
cancelButton.addEventListener('touchend', function (e) {
cancelFunc();
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
this._okFunc = okFunc;
this._cancelFunc = cancelFunc;
};

You can just check if document.getElementById("inputDialog-CancelBtn") is not null before you .click()
if(SceneManager._scene instanceof Scene_InputDialog) {
setTimeout(function () {
const cancelBtn = document.getElementById("inputDialog-CancelBtn");
if(cancelBtn) {
cancelBtn.click()
}
}, 10000);
}
To clear the timeout the Ok button click handler needs to have a reference to the timeout, it's easier to just have that null check
