Hey guys, wow, I kind off forgot that a board like this even existed lol. Anyways, i have a question for you guys;

Is it possible through a script or command for fpsc to take a screenshot of the whole page and display it (as a hud of some sort). I know about F12, that is not what i am asking about. I want to know if it is possible for the player to press a button and have their screen show up as a smaller image/ HUD immediately (I guess you guys can understand that I am going for a kind of Camera effect here). If it is possible Id love if someone can point me to the command or give me some pointers of how to achieve this effect... Or if it is possible with some mod.

Thanks in advance

Cheers,
Anayar

I don't know of any current command that would do it, but I can also imagine some use for it. Not knowing exactly what you have in mind, I wonder if it could be faked with pre-made images? That would take a lot of control over what the player could do, perhaps even needing an in-game video where the player see's himself taking a snapshot.

Hey, thanks for atleast responding Brian. What I'm trying to do is create a camera/cell phone, which in addition to receiving incoming texts and messages would also be able to snap pictures (this was actually requested by someone... so I myself am not 100% sure if this is what they have in mind). I was hoping there would a command like "capturescreen" or something which could acheive this since scripting is not my strong side. Was more thinking along the lines of player being able to capture images on the fly from anywhere, since that would eb a lot more usefull.

Again, the images would not have to be stored... they would just have to pop up for a few minutes (or as long as the player wants) after they are taken. After that it really doesnt matter what happens to the image ).

Cheers,
Anayar

This would have to be modded anayar, if you have the cellphone model to your spec already built and you know a bit of BASIC you could make it achievable with your own mod! Also to note, it would be hard to achieve this at runtime without modding due to the fact the screenshots are taken as bitmaps (bmp).

Impossible FPSC script wise (unless modded) but is a great idea. If I were the person, I would just have an objective that they have yotake a picture of and load the already taken screenshot as a hud ontothe phone screen. They would have tostop the playermovement and turning ability but it would work.


Cheers.

God help me, Please.

@Sting: Not what I was hoping to hear as I as unfamiliar with DBPro and I really dont want to build a mod just to get one feature lol... anyways, it wasnt for me, so Ill just have to tell the person that it cant be done. Thanks for the info mate!

@Beastmode: Yeah, good idea. Thanks mate!
