Hello Everybody :slight_smile:

So I don’t know too much about Javascript as I don’t really use anything outside of Lua and HTML and even then my knowledge is minimal since I’m not really a scripter but I’m trying to make something pretty basic and it needs to use javascript (so I’ve been told)

I want to be able to execute a command in game, that will then open a website on the players default browser

What I currently have is

RegisterCommand(“jrwebsite”, function open_url(){
window.open(“http://google.com”,“_blank”);
})

what would I need to do to actually make it work, I know that the 2nd line is the correct way to open it, just not sure about creating the function with a command that actually works since in lua it would be different. (I wish lua could do this)

anyway thanks guys any help will be appreciated.

You can’t use window.open or such in a client script, it must be in NUI.
In NUI do not use window.open but rather openUrl:

window.invokeNative("openUrl", url);

I actually got it thanks :slight_smile:
The Nui thing helped big time
