Include external .js files into the playground

[Ahiru]

I tried to include some external scripts into the playground, and while it seems that Cannon.js works, Socket.IO does not - does anybody have an idea why?

Socket.IO, NodeJS... is not referenced in the playground

[Ahiru]

NodeJS will be on the server anyway, not on the client - but Socket.IO I just included per CDN in line 5

 

The including per CDN seems to work, since the CANNON.World() works.

I believe it is due to the requirejs-style initialization of socket.io . But I might be wrong :-)

Hmm - on my server: 

 

index.js: 

  <script src="https://cdn.socket.io/socket.io-1.3.7.js"></script>  <script src="/main.js"></script>

main.js:

... var socket = io();

And it works: http://it-devils.com:3000/

No idea then...

Does it work like that: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1YGCVH#6

 

Edit: at least it did when I tried and hit Run a second time... doesn't seem to work on the first load, tho.

 

Edit2: nevermind... it's just not executed... don't know why... but like that it's not helping

iiceman good solution. I did not know that we could use the Jquery in the playground

[Ahiru]

Did not know, too - but still does not work

// script importation
var url = "url.js";
var s = document.createElement("script");
s.src = url;
document.head.appendChild(s);

 

 

just realized i dug this up from the past... I bet this has been covered seince then, but just because this came up from google I figured it would be good to have a solution posted.
