Hyperlink in roblox?

Account Disabled

Links that are off-site aren’t prohibited on Roblox there fore I wouldn’t recommend trying this. If this applies to images then why not game mechanics?

⋮ Hyperlink

All though it’s against the rules, the way I would do it is as follows:

◇ Use a TextBox and disable the player from rewriting it but enable them to select the text.

no, this could be abused to log IPs and other malicious things

for now, just make a textbox thats uneditable and the user can copy it

#23

Are off site links such as YouTube, and Twitch allowed in game, as they are on the Roblox site.

#24

I’m just wondering if this is possible for a YouTube video and just for fun, I won’t add this to the search engine game demo

#25

it is not, it never will be

#26

There’s gotta be some kind of workaround

#27

there really isnt, a simple google search will answer your question

#28

Alright well in that case I am determined to make a work around. Any updates will be posted here.

There’s no perfect way to parse and display HTML through Gui components in Roblox, but this suggestion here is likely the best way you can achieve what you want:

You won’t get a solution closer to your requirement.

Regarding this:

Cookies are not shared between different domains, so other sites can’t get access to Roblox cookies (although theoretically it is possible to access cookies from other domains if you happen to own both of them).

Apparently only YT rarely Twitch. I don’t know why but it’s like this:

Simulation of moderation

[·] TOS:

Users aren’t allowed to post any violent images. (blood)

[·] User: Post Red Image ◃User’s account disabled!

[·] User: Post Blood Image ◃User’s account is not disabled!

⁝ Conclusion

Roblox Moderation isn’t the best but could be worse!

I guess I’ll try to contact a staff and see if it’s okay with allowed websites

#33

Well well well, I have made my own work around. Using NodeJS to make an api endpoint, and the open library in NodeJS to open the webbrowser, I was able to make a fully working Hyperlink. Best part about it is unlike @EnvisionDev 's method, users won’t have to do anything but join the game!

Demo:

Before I even try to make the “only certain sites allowed” feature, I am waiting for a response from a staff member, anyone know the easiest way to get to them?

My server blocking ROBLOX server IP's (or vice versa?)
#34

Hey what did you mean by

I don’t really get what you meant by that

#35

Also for anyone trying to use the links in the game, they are not enabled (well I guess technically they are, however my nodeJS server is no hossted)

#36

Like can I have the link for the api, I cannot find where the link is

#37

@Deadwoodx the link for what api? The google search one or the one I made?

#38

The link for the google search, I want the link pls

#39

All you have to do is sign in to the rapid apis website, go to the link I sent you, and click the subscribe to test, it will list out some payment options (i chose the free one) click that, then go back to the code examples/the link I sent you and copy the url and headers

Now what do I click

Here:

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

function getSearches(URL, HEADERS)
    local req = HttpService:GetAsync(URL, false, HEADERS)
   local searches = HttpService:DecodeJSON(req)

    return searches
end

local searches = getSearches(urlFromTheScriptOnRapidApis, headersFromTheScriptFromRapidApis)
