[SOLVED]Possible To Directly Link To An External URL From The Player Choice Menu?

[ChiCityFog]

Hey all,
Long time listener, first time caller. I'm creating a new project, and I want to create a behavior within the final player choice menu wherein every choice takes you to an external website. Here's a mockup of my thought process below:

Not knowing python so well (but growing in skill by the day thanks to my genetically Irish success in failing upward consistently), I initially thought it could be done with the following code:

Code: Select all

    menu:
            "{color=#FFFFFF}Test 1{/color}":
                action openurl("https://www.yahoo.com")

Easy. Clean. Ultimately Useless Garbage. It just generates errors. I looked around this forum, reddit, youtube, etc... I haven't been able to find anything specifically addressing this behavior. There's plenty of info out there about using the "a" tag in the text box. I can definitely go that route if I have to as a plan B, but it's a little clunkier and not as user intuitive as I'd like. I then thought to cram the a tag in with the choice itself, such that:

Code: Select all

    menu:
            "{a=https://renpy.org}Test 1{/a}?"

That just generates whatever the hell is happening here:

I've been trying to figure this out for a few weeks now but I guess it's time to admit I'm not gonna be able to get this done through good ol' fashioned force of will. Anyone know how to do this? All help is greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

action openurl("https://www.yahoo.com")

should be

Code: Select all

$ renpy.run(OpenURL("https://www.yahoo.com"))

.

And to explain what you see:
In the end "Text 1" is not a choice. Choices have a colon after them and a block below them. That was not a choice, but a menu heading. By default it is displayed by say screen. You can change configuration to display it as first insensetive choice instead if you want. It is intended to be used as short description of choice you are making in this menu, something like "Where will you go?".

And your action attempt failed because it is part of Screen Language, not RenPy script. Screen language can be uses only within screens. ATL language can be used only within ATL blocks, RenPy script can be used while not within those blocks.

Worked like charm, thank you so much!
