When you save a game it generates a bmp file. Is there code to generate a screenshot when you hit a trigger zone?

Thanks!

There is no script that I know of currently to take a screenshot- the only method is to use F12 to take one. The only other "screenshot" that gets generated is when you use the "savegame/quicksave" command, which the screens then reside in the "gamesaves" folder.


There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.

Could you not use a command to force a keypress using keycodepressed=x

I know you could force the use of any key on the keyboard in X10, but, not sure if this is true in X9.

I don't know of any way to do this. Also, one could mod this but there is nothing available in the current command codes as Blackfox has said. It actually would be easy to mod. Two commands in DBPro would be used, "Get Image" and "Save Image". So all you need to do is create a new FPSC command to do this.

THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why. For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.

Flatlander nailed it on the head. We have added a command to our source that allows us to save an image via script (we can save via F12 as well, but script method is nice now and again). We can even choose JPG or PNG types. Another thing we have done is save an image capture and display it in a "mini screen" while playing. This works similar to a minimap concept but instead of a top-down view, it is in forward view. We can even have it update the image in real-time.

Many ideas can be achieved, if you can mod the source.

Now that's cool.

Yup, and you can start out slow with one or two added commands -- whether they be conditions or actions or one of each.
