BenWortley 0 Posted May 16, 2020 Does anyone know how I would open a weblink via a GUI button? The weblink is split due to needing to add the missionName in it for the link to go to the current mission. _orbat = "https://unitedtaskforce.net/operations/auth/" + missionName + "/orbat"; if I hint _orbat it spits the correct url out. I just need that url to open a webpage. Anyone know or a way to do this? For reference the button is running this action action = "execVM 'Menu\Weblinks\OpenOrbat.sqf'"; Thank you in advance.

Dedmen 2662 Posted May 19, 2020 You can't just open a website via script (cuz security). You maybe can use structured text, to add a link into existing text. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted May 19, 2020 I do this for my public server mission in a briefing, the "execute expression" stuff isn't necessary for a button: player createDiaryRecord ["Diary",[ "Muh Site", "<execute expression='copyToClipboard ""https://www.CoolWebsite.com"";'>Copy URL</execute> (Click link and press Ctrl+V into browser)" ]]; In the action of a button, could just do: "copyToClipboard 'http://www.MyCoolSite.com';" What it does is simply copies the URL to the player's "clipboard" so they can paste the link into a browser easily. Can't pull up sites anymore. (Think it was doable in early A3 and A2?)
