Need a UDK action button with script to call a web page - willing to pay

[MortisEquilibrium]

You could try to implement this in your project:

http://awesomium.com/

But this would require the affore mentioned DLLBind which will require C++ knowledge

Also, Adobe Browserlab is flash based and can somehow get browsable versions of websites loaded in so you could look to see how this works

https://browserlab.adobe.com/en-us/index.html

This code can open a page outside your game (C++) :

ShellExecute(handle, "open", "http://www.google.com", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

That's all I can think of right now

100GPing100, My designer and I are so grateful for your file and guidance. He installed the ".u" file in the same UDKGame directory as the other ".u" files, and made the INI change noted in your Readme file. However, upon launch (even after Windows reboot), the program does not show the Launch URL under Actions > Misc
Any suggestions?

In the content browser's Classes tab, go to File>Open and open xKismet.u. The node should then be available in Kismet.

According to the comment on the Engine class (as pointed out by Angel_Mapper) the function works on the various platforms, therefore it will work on Windows and Mac (possibly the other platforms supported by the engine too).

Give this .zip file to your designer and tell him this:

Is it as simple as :

class SeqAct_LaunchURL extends SequenceAction
	hidecategories(Object);

var() string URL;

event Activated()
{
	class'Engine'.static.LaunchURL(URL);
}

Yes, and it has support for multiple platforms as indicated by Angel_Mapper.

Okay, I only have one question, does it open in an external browser or in some sort of internal browser (Preferable so I can stylise it)

It opens the link in the default external browser.

Hey that's pretty handy. I didn't know new Kismet nodes could be added that way. That gives me all kinds of evil ideas.

class'Engine'.static.LaunchURL("https://www.google.com/")

As a Kismet node:

class SeqAct_LaunchURL extends SequenceAction;

var() string URL;

event Activated()
{
    class'Engine'.static.LaunchURL(URL);
}

DefaultProperties
{
    ObjName = "Launch URL";
    ObjCategory = "Misc";
    HandlerName = "OnLaunchURL";
    bCallHandler = false;
}

It only works for websites that use http, so "forums.epicgames.com" does not work, but "https://www.google.com/" and "https://www.facebook.com/" work.
Only tried on Windows.


Edit: If you were to pay me, keep the money.

That is an amazing find. Nice one 100GPing100

looks like it just isnt possible in udk, so no amount of money will make it work.
unless you have the full UE3 licence (more money than the avarage human will ever get) then something could be done.
that will also allow to to develop for android, free or 99$ licence udk does not support droid yet (or ever maybe)

Well if you were to make a cult classic game for iOS with the free UDK, say maybe hit close to $1 mill USD with it, im sure you could license the full paid UDK.
