The setUrl native AI script function sets a URL action on all bots in the group. This adds an entry to the bot's right-click contextual menu that opens the specified URL in the in-game browser when clicked by a player.
()setUrl(actionName: s, url: s)- actionName (string): The text displayed in the contextual menu entry.
-
url (string): The URL to open when the player clicks the menu entry. Set to
"*"to clear the URL and remove the menu entry.
- A
CCreatureSetUrlMsgis sent to EGS for each spawned bot in the group - EGS sets the
WebPageFlagin the creature's BotChat program and stores the URL and action name - On the client, when the player right-clicks the NPC, the action name appears as a menu entry (only if
WebPageFlagis set) - Clicking the entry opens the URL in the in-game web browser
// Add a web link to the NPC
()setUrl("Visit our website", "https://app.ryzom.dev/example.php");// Dynamic URL with player context
($playerEid)getCurrentPlayerEid();
()setUrl("Check your stats", "https://app.ryzom.dev/stats.php?eid=" + $playerEid);// Clear the URL (removes the menu entry)
()setUrl("", "*");- The URL is applied to all bots in the group.
- Setting the URL to
"*"clears the WebPageFlag on EGS, effectively removing the contextual menu entry. - The in-game browser has limited capabilities compared to a full web browser. Test your URLs in-game.
- The URL can point to server-side scripts that interact with the game's web services (WebIG).
- addBotChat - Add other types of contextual menu entries
- npcSay - Make an NPC say something in chat
