Simple script to open a URL?

[Samg381]

Hi,
I have made a little website that has a donation page for my server.
Since it's annoying to see a 'donate here' page upon joining a server, can someone
please give me a code that will make a GUI Window pop up when someone types '!donate' or
something along those lines? I searched other topics like this and all of the code is outdated and won't work.
Thank you very much.

[lua]hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "DonateCommand", function( ePlayer, sText )
if ( string.StartWith( string.lower( sText ), "!donate" ) ) then
gui.OpenURL( "http://www.google.com/" );
end
end );[/lua]

That opens it in the steam browser.

Thanks, but do you have one that opens it in a ULX-MOTD style GUI?
Thanks in advance.

Oops sorry for the delay. I was wondering outside aimlessly.

I whipped this up for ya.
[lua]
local donate = {
["URL"] = "http://www.google.com/";
};

function donate.CreatePanel( )

local w = 800; -- Width
local h = 600; -- Height
local p = 8; -- Padding

donate.Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" );
donate.Frame:SetTitle( "Donate" );
donate.Frame:SetSize( w + (p * 2), h + (p * 5) );

donate.Panel = vgui.Create( "DPanel", donate.Frame );
donate.Panel:SetPos( 8, 32 );
donate.Panel:SetSize( w, h );

donate.HTML = vgui.Create( "HTML", donate.Panel );
donate.HTML:SetPos( 8, 8 );
donate.HTML:SetSize( w - (p * 2), h - (p * 2) );
donate.HTML:OpenURL( donate.URL );

donate.Frame:Center();
donate.Frame:MakePopup();

end

hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "DonateCommand", function( ePlayer, sText )

if ( string.StartWith( string.lower( sText ), "!donate" ) ) then
donate.CreatePanel( );
end

end );[/lua]

Right in time!
When one person said '!donate' EVERYONE opened the browser :pwn:
Mabye I should put it in the 'client' section of lua>autorun?

Thanks!

[DaneSomdahl]

Wait what? It's a clientside script; therefor the only person it should affect is the local player.

you should put the script in a clientside file for your gamemode, or its own file in lua/autorun/client/.

Then serverside make sure to add the clientside lua file like this:

[lua]AddCSLuaFile( "autorun/client/thefileyousaveditas.lua" );[/lua]

You need to do a check to see if ePlayer is LocalPlayer, then run the function.

Oh yeah, I didn't pay attention to that. Just make the hooking part

[lua]hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "DonateCommand", function( ePlayer, sText )

if ( string.StartWith( string.lower( sText ), "!donate" ) && ePlayer == LocalPlayer() ) then
donate.CreatePanel( );
end

end );[/lua]

[Samg381]

Wait... so... what?
Kinda confused here :/
Can you put the code together for me with the hook you added and such?
And once I put the big code in lua>autorun>client
where do I put that smaller "as cs lua" file?
Please be thorough and specific!
Thanks :rolleyes:

Really? Page 2 of this section of the forum, and the scripts are two days old.

I'm looking for a code that:

1) Works.
2) Doesn't open up the Steam browser,
yet opens up a GUI Similar to the ULX MOTD.

Dude.

[lua]local donate = {
["URL"] = "http://www.google.com/";
};

function donate.CreatePanel( )

local w = 800; -- Width
local h = 600; -- Height
local p = 8; -- Padding

donate.Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" );
donate.Frame:SetTitle( "Donate" );
donate.Frame:SetSize( w + (p * 2), h + (p * 5) );

donate.Panel = vgui.Create( "DPanel", donate.Frame );
donate.Panel:SetPos( 8, 32 );
donate.Panel:SetSize( w, h );

donate.HTML = vgui.Create( "HTML", donate.Panel );
donate.HTML:SetPos( 8, 8 );
donate.HTML:SetSize( w - (p * 2), h - (p * 2) );
donate.HTML:OpenURL( donate.URL );

donate.Frame:Center();
donate.Frame:MakePopup();

end

hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "DonateCommand", function( ePlayer, sText )

if ( ePlayer ~= LocalPlayer() ) then
return;
end

if ( string.StartWith( string.lower( sText ), "!donate" ) ) then
donate.CreatePanel( );
end

end );[/lua]
