Open link in new tab from webplayer hosted on any site.
I've searched this site and the unity script reference, but when it comes to linking I can only find out how to either:
change the page the web player is on to an other (I want it in a new tab. No killing my game! :p)
get unity to give the web page a command and then script into the web page how to respond to this command (by opening a link in a new tab)
What I want is to upload my game to a site I have no control over, yet when you click on a certain button a specified url will be loaded in a new tab. Why is this so hard and why does it seem no one has answered this before? o.O or am I missing something obvious?
TL;DR: Game on not my site. Click button. Open url in new tab. Help! :D
Edit: Still no complete answer, am I going to have to start a bounty? =p
Try this:
Application.ExternalEval("window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank')");
(You have to disable pop-up blockers.)
I'm looking for a way to open things in a new tab, not a new window. But thanks for trying to help though! :D
It opens a new tab (tested: Firefox on $$anonymous$$ac) and it is the complete http code.
Oh you are absolutely right! $$anonymous$$y apologies, I didn't notice the '_blank'. Thanks again! :D

I'm having trouble seeing what you are asking, but I think this will do what you need.
It opens a new tab within your default browser. The url it goes to is what you provide in the parameter.
Edit: Try this command: Application.ExternalEval("window.open('httpcodehere')");
This opens an url in the current tab. That's exactly my problem.
Let me try to be more clear: The game is player by the webplayer on a website. If I execute this command the website will be changed. That's the whole point of 'different tab' or pop-up of course.
But thanks for trying to help! Just reread my comments and may have sounded a bit harsh, if so: that wasn't my intention. :)
Try this command:
Application.ExternalEval("window.open('httpcodehere')");
Thanks a lot! Not a perfect solution, since this creates a pop-up (which will be blocked) ins$$anonymous$$d of a new tab, but at least it works! If you edit this into your main answer I'll change my -1 to a +1 :D right now it says "value to old to be changed, unless this answer is edited"
This really isn't the most interesting solution but if the page you are trying to access is your own. You could use the html/javascript to open the pop-up and load the game back. Resuming a game mid-play would require quite some trickery I guess.
Can't wait for actual working answers you guys got ;)
:-) that's at least a little helpful. Thanks! Oh and seeing how this question is now 9hours old and still unanswered it would probably help if you'd up-vote the question so the bot bumps it up. ;)
