Opening webpage through script?

[x hunter33 10]

Pretty much new to scripting, how could i make a script that adds an action to the scroll menu at any time and when selected opens up your web browser on a secific website?

I don't think it's possible but I may be wrong.

For adding an action to the scroll menu look at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction

Alright, i really hope its possible. Adding an action isnt too difficult (thats pretty much all i can do xD) but thanks anyways :)

Well there was something about a Java scripting addon and I know its possible via Java, But I don't know if the java for that is "dumbed down" per-say.

That would semi-work, but it gets the RAW data of a website.

I have actually coded displaying data from a PHP webpage into a GUI within ArmA. This is used within the ALiVE Newsfeed and will be utilised to display data from the War Room stats website in game.

This has a link of which you can click, and it will take you the war room online.

Can you provide us a direct link to this code? And I have been messing about with different ways of loading a java file, but no luck.

I'm not going to share my exact code from ALiVE, but I will point you in the right direction.

There is no info on it in the wiki. See Here

Totally cool man - .38 calibre (Indiana Jones' fave shooter as well) reference makes it even more awesome :D

I'd better say something on topic; so if I can figure out any shit about that web function, then I'll post it up here guys :)

Just to wrap this up:

If you want to have a custom "newsfeed" and know your way around Dialogs & Controls you can create your own custom HTML control and load a website with htmlLoad
