Hello, I have seen this topic addressed in the context of the old web plugin, but I’m not a programmer and I haven’t been able to find a blend file with an example so I can dissect it to figure out how to use it in the regular stand alone blender player.
My question is this:
Is it possible to make a stand alone executable in blender that would open up another document when you click on something? In example: you click on a picture on the wall in the game engine and it opens up a quicktime file and plays it. (or it opens a webpage, or a still image, etc.) Like I said, according to previous posts, it seems that with the web plugin you could do things like this, but I haven’t found any tutorials or example files that are detailed enough for me to be able to figure it out I think if i could just open up a sample project I would be able to figure out how to make it work.
Yep, with some python you can call for internet acces, opening a exe program, and load some data from external files. A good way to learn this would be learning the basics of python.
You might be thinking now, how the hack do I learn python? I can’t program. No worries, I know a freeware book that tells how to using python and it starts from the level, Beginner or even braindeath.
Hey thanks guys. I’ll look into the book. I’m really good at learning from seeing examples, so if anybody know of a python script out there that does something similar, that’s prolly all I need.
I think if i could just open up a sample project I would be able to figure out how to make it work.
