Does anyone remember how to put a link to a web page inside a map?

I seem to recall a couple of old unreal maps where if you activated a certain actor class object (like a teleporter or transporter I think) it would act similar to a redirect and pop open a web page in your browser.

Sound familiar?

That's gonna require some coding skills. It would need a trigger actor, then when the player hit the trigger, the code would tell UT2k4 to minimize and pull up FireFox.

If anyone puts something like this into a game (especially Unreal games), they should be beaten, shaved, & kicked into the street during rush hour.

you can beat them, but i'd be impressed with the fact that they could do this. (even though it is pointless)

well, i say FF, because everyone should be using it. Although you would really want to probably set it to default browser or IE for saftey.

I thought just adding a web-url to the URL field in the teleporter properties would cause all that
