Open an exe file located in the game directory (SOLVED)

Hi,

Is there any way to open an exe file that is located in the game directory?

For example, I have an external exe files (called "options.exe) that allows the players to change some game settings.

In "Scene object > Actions > Left click > Execute a script", I tried to cheap it with the command

but of course it doesn't work

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi,

Lua has commands for that, os.execute() is your call, see more here http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-os.execute

Thank you SimonS.

So do you think that my problem is solved with this code?


Or this is not the correct syntax?

You need quotes, so to say:


Problem is the search path, I don't know where your program will be. If I recall correctly, the Lua path is in Windows set to the Working Path (Path of the application visplayer.exe), other platforms behave differently.
You must try out.

Thank you. I will try it out

If I put the options.exe file inside the main directory of the game and then I set the command



Everything works correctly!

Thank you!
