External Commands

#1 Post by XxrenxX »

Is it possible to run a command based file from my computer through Renpy? such as a .vbs

For instance we would define the file as a command or action, and when inputted into the script that command would run the file when called.

I hope this makes sense.

Yes, look at the Python subprocess module.
