Hello All,

Is this doable?
Press gui button on game menu to open help files.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var helpPage = WWW.GetURL("file://Applications/nameoffolder/nameofgame/helpfolder/help.pdf");
3.  
4. function OnMouseDown()
5. {
6.     Application.LoadLevel("helpPage");
7. }
8.  

Just thinking of accessing a help file in pdf or doc format stored in a folder inside the game folder where the game.app is located.

Am I making sense?

Thanks,
Ray

 

That won't work. Loadlevel only loads a Unity level.

Instead you want to use the OS to open it. Try this code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var filePath = Application.dataPath + "/Manual.html";   // Or .pdf or whatever
3.  
4. switch(Application.platform) {       
5.     case RuntimePlatform.WindowsPlayer:
6.         System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filePath);
7.         break;
8.     default:
9.         System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(string.Format("open \"{0}\"",filePath));
10.     break;
11. }
12.  

Note: This won't work from the web player....

 

Sweet,
Thanks,

Ray
