URL Item Definition

URL items point at external web content. Use them when an item should open a website, hosted document, or another remote resource from inside the inventory.

Placement

Use the normal ITEM form in item definition files loaded by the item loader, such as schema/items/[item_id].lua. If the item should inherit a base, place it under the matching base folder, such as schema/items/url/[item_id].lua or modules/[module]/items/url/[item_id].lua. Base item files themselves live under an items/base directory, for example gamemode/items/base/url.lua or modules/[module]/items/base/url.lua.

Use lia.item.register from a shared Lua file when you want to register an item directly from code instead of relying on the item loader's ITEM table.

Reference

Field	Type	Purpose
name	string	Display name shown in the inventory.
desc	string	Description text shown to the player.

url	string	Remote URL opened or referenced by the item.

Normal Item File Example

ITEM.name = "Website Link"
ITEM.desc = "A link to an external website."
ITEM.model = "models/props_lab/clipboard.mdl"
ITEM.url = "https://example.com"

ITEM.functions.Open = {
    name = "open",
    tip = "useTip",
    icon = "icon16/world_link.png",
    onRun = function(item)
        gui.OpenURL(item.url)
        return false
    end
}

Direct Registration Example

local item = lia.item.register("website_link", "base_url", false, nil, true)

item.name = "Website Link"
item.desc = "A link to an external website."
item.model = "models/props_lab/clipboard.mdl"
item.url = "https://example.com"

item.functions.Open = {
    name = "open",
    tip = "useTip",
    icon = "icon16/world_link.png",
    onRun = function(itemInstance)
        gui.OpenURL(itemInstance.url)
        return false
    end
}
