Pseudo-Online If,Then,Else Script

I am looking for help making a script that checks your internet connectivity but doesn't actually connect you to the internet. 

Is this possible in game? Would it be an extensive script?

I am basically looking for this because it is a perquisite for another script that I plan on having later.

This will be done by a Call Script Event

All I currently need is this little snippet, forgive my crap example

$Script that checks internet connection

$if Connected; (proceed with event processing)

$else

$show text [you are not connected to the internet]

$exit event processing

Do you have a script that allows you to connect to the internet?

not yet- and im sure that would be the most difficult part of this script

I have absolutely no idea if this helps, and have never even looked at it myself:

This should do what you want :)

Plug that into your script editor, then just create a conditional branch with the Script option, with this call:

Just what I was looking for- yet again you are a savior.

Should the problem that google.com is ever down, we can always add in microsoft's website as a backup.


If both of those should fail, we're probably in an apocalypse and it won't matter anyway :p

How about pinging one of the root servers
