In game Screenshots

Hey all!

Is there a way to create a ingame screenshot of your screen and dump it to file.png?
Also, can i create a surface, blit some images on it and save that buffer to a .png?

Trying to avoid c++
Thanks,

ps,
i'm not talking about print sreen and alt+printscreen :)

Press Ctrl + P for a screenshot. It's defined in the Global Action Map which you can find in common\gamescripts\common.cs

I can't have any user interaction, it needs to be done programmatically.
I'm programming a tool and need to do some simple image manipulations.
It would of been cool to have the tool as a tgb native tool..

So use the existing screenshot function, and use it programmatically....

Oh, i didn't know we had one.
I did a search in the help pdf before posting and didn't find anything.
Will look again, thanks for the tip!
