Valve added in TF2 the ability to open the overlay via a link. They added the blog and update links to the main menu. I was wondering if its possible to use that function in a plugin. I have a feeling they did it so we cant use it. The comands dont work from their res file.

this should work..

PHP Code:

//Initation:
public OnPluginStart()
{
     //Disable Cheats:
     SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", (GetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay") - FCVAR_CHEAT));
}

    //Timer:
    CreateTimer(60.0, RemoveOverlay, Client);
    //Screen Overlay Command
    ClientCommand(Client, "r_screenoverlay Texture_Path_Hear.vmt");

//Clear Overlay:
public Action:RemoveOverlay(Handle:Timer, any:Client)
{
    //Clear:
    ClientCommand(Client, "r_screenoverlay 0");
}

Im looking to open a web page within the overlay ingame via a plugin. Since Valve added that feature, I was hoping we could also use it.

Those are clientside commands and are likely blocked.

That's not the command he was talking about.

Also, you cannot remove the cheat flag on clientside-only commands. The best you could do is SendConVarValue of sv_cheats 1 to the client, issue the command, and then revert sv_cheats to them. This still only works for commands that the server is allowed to execute on the client.

Because it would be grossly abused.

If they did it properly it wouldnt.
