Question by kayb14 · Feb 08, 2017 at 05:52 AM · network local phone devices printing

How to use local network devices? (e.g printer)

Hey there, we are just gathering ideas for a 4thwall breaking games.... we allready got some ideas wich I know how to code.

But I thought of tampering with devices in the players local network, if given.

So does anyone know or have an idea of how to tackle this?

My two main targets would be to print a text/image file with the gamers local network printer and to call a VoIP telephone, if there's any of it attached to the network.

Of course it would be nicer to have a flexible script that works with any network devices.... So I thought of detecting the devicetype and it's IP adress to later on pass a text/image or audio phile....

I know it`s far fetched right now, but I am thankfull fpr any help, hint or link!

thanks in advance!
