Animation's delayedPlay fires "animationstart" immediately

[bdaenen]

Version

• Phaser Version: v3.16.2-FB
• Operating system: Any

Description

When calling physicsSprite.anims.delayedPlay(delay, key), the animationstart event is immediately fired. I expect it to be fired as soon as the animation actually starts (after the delay).

Example Test Code

Additional Info

I looked into making a PR for this, but since it seems to work by actually starting the animation and setting nextTick += delay I'm not sure how to proceed.

Not sure that this is an actual problem. As a workaround, I would suggest to use delay by using setTimeout(startAnimation, delay).

That's exactly what I did for now, it just took me some time to figure out why my code wasn't working as I expected it to.

It's not something very urgent or serious, just something unintuitive causing confusion.

Thank you for submitting this issue. We have fixed this and the fix has been pushed to the master branch. It will be part of the next release. If you get time to build and test it for yourself we would appreciate that.

Animation.delayCounter is a new property that allows you to control the delay before an animation will start playing. Only once this delay has expired, will the animation START events fire.
