ENT:Use and gui.OpenURL

[DejRocket]

Hey there everyone!

I'm currently working on a Clockwork HL2RP plugin, and I need to figure out how to make it so when you press Use on the entity, it opens the steam browser.
Here is the code;

-- Called when the entity is used.
function ENT:Use(activator, caller)
    activator:SendLua("gui.OpenURL('www.google.com')")
end;

I have added a command to spawn the entity, that all works just fine, but I can't get this to open a webpage.

[.\\Shadow}]

Last I heard, it needs http:// in the URL. Try gui.OpenURL('http://www.google.com')

Wow, that was it lol. Thanks!
