To whom it may concern,
Thanks for taking a moment to read this request. I've been trying to make an event where the player is given a choice to open a website. My problem is I still can't get my head around scripting. I thought I could use something like this to show walkthroughs or make colourful puzzles or enhance the story using a related blog.
I need it to:
*open a website from an event script in RPGmaker VX Ace
I've seen Modern Algebra made a fantastic website-opening-script here: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,44535.0.html (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,44535.0.html)
That's what gave me the inspiration and the realisation that such a thing might be possible. But it works from the title screen and not whilst playing. Perhaps I'm asking for something that isn't possible.
Thanks in advance and keep well.

Use this:
# Use The Following in a Script Call:
# open_website( url )
# Replacing the URL with a websire url in quotation marks
# So the Following would be valid:
# open_website( "rmrk.net" )
class Game_Interpreter
def open_website( url )
url.gsub!("http://", "")
Thread.new { system("start http://#{url}") }
end
end
The Code was taken from Modern Algebra's script and fixed up for you, so don't credit me for it.
Thank you so much! I was miles off the mark with where I was going. I hope I didn't inconvenience you too much and I hope this might be useful for others.
And so fast!
