I'm very sorry this is in the dbc chat by accident , this is meant to be dbp

Is it possible to make a program that wil run another .exe when you choose , for example i want to make a multiplayer fps with fpsc but to do more than one map you need make a new .exe each time, so it would be much more orginised if i could have like a launcher program, is this possible?

Yes, use the EXECUTE FILE command.

Example:



That code will execute the file "myexe.exe" when the button is clicked.

Good luck!

This command has not changed in DBP.

Just try it - it's only a single line!

Don't know if this will interest anyone but here's another way to write the area detection.
Also, it's a good idea to check the mouseclick first or the cpu will be checking the area all the time even though it doesn't need to.
I've also added in a box to give the user some help.


It's a little strange so I'll explain if anyone is confused

[edit]
Woooo! I've been de-slapped!
