Canvas URL Links

I noticed the “Coming Soon” signs around plaza now offer pressing your action key to open the URL to the Trello:

This would be an awesome thing to have for condos, where we can put an image and a link on them.

Just some of the ways having this could be used:

  • A condo owner promoting a website or Discord for the Condo you’re visiting.
  • Promoting Tower’s official website & Discord.
  • Linking to the voting forms during official contests (like I do with my condo’s voting booths)
  • Linking to details for an upcoming community event.
  • People who offer services, such as Studio Mercy, to link to their sites.
  • Role Play/Quest/Game type condos that require an extensive rule book or instructions could link to like a Google doc instead of cramming it into multiple books in game that have character limits.

I’m sure other condo owners can think up even more stuff they could use this for, but you get the idea. It’s obviously already in the game, porting it into condos should be easy enough. :slight_smile:

Thanks for your time!

P.S.: I also want to point out that the ability to supply a link to people is already present. Intentionally or not, it’s extremely helpful, so it being “an issue” isn’t really the point since the more experienced condo builders are already using the tactic to enhance the player experience. This is just taking that and making it nicer looking and more user friendly.

I’ve been meaning to make this as an IO volume. I think we’d just need a quick “this will take you to http://url.com” message before opening, though.

Aww that’ll ruin the surprise :smiley:

You can’t exactly trust bad actors that may use it to spread virus around. So I think Mac’s idea may limit that and add awareness at least.
