make a button in unity to open an external windows application.
Hello
I want to make a button in some area in my game. when the player find it and press, an external application with exe extension should be run. can i do this with unity. if i can how ??? thanks
As addition to SpikeX answer and your comment:
You can use
// Goes in OnGUI():
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(15, 15, 95, 35), "Open my Application"))
{
// Application.dataPath will return your projects' Data folder path
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.dataPath + "/myApplication.exe");
}
You will have to copy your "myApplication.exe" to your Data folder whenever you build your game (or write a postProcess script that does that for you, but that would be probably overpowered).
It's pretty easy (you can't do this with the web player):
// Goes in OnGUI():
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(15, 15, 95, 35), "Open Notepad"))
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe");
}Thanks but if my have ma application named for exemple appl1.exe and placed in the D:/application/apl1.exe how can i do it and expor it with the build of the game. thanks
What felix said. Include it in your data directory and use his code.
