Take a snapshot in TGB

#1 Is it error or what??
i think your snapshot is kept on screenshot folder

#2 Hmm try this
screenShot("./a.jpg","JPEG");
the screenshot is kept on torquegamebuilder\games folder

#3 The engine crashed

#4 So if you use
screenShot("./a.jpg","JPEG");
the engine get crasheD?

#5 Hi,

I have tried to use it but don't work. The file is created but incorrectly, so when you try to open it I got a deformed image of the screen.

#6 Use this :

%Screenshot = "~/save/ImageForShot.png";
%Screenshot = expandFilename(%Screenshot);
Screenshot(%Screenshot, "png");

#7 Thanks for response Daniel,

I tried the code that you post, but I still have the same problem. In both cases (your code and mine) the file is created but if you see the image its appear with a distorsion, like it would was incorrectly saved, I tried with 2 formats (JPG and PNG) and I had the same problem. I'm using TGB 1.5.

#8 If your first image comes out distorted try a second one immediately after that. I sometimes have the issue of the first image taken since the apps started being distorted.

#9 Thanks Matthew,

I have tried that but I have the same problem, how can I post a file so you can look my problem?

Thanks anyway...

#10 Pedro,

Try calling the screenshot from a schedule. I had to do this to avoid getting partial screenshots and distortion problems. It seems that if you have a lot going on in game while doing the screenshot, weird things happen. Almost like the framebuffer is halfway through getting updated when the screenshot is taken. I have found using a schedule fixes the problem.

#11 Hi Brian,

Thanks for your response, I don't know what a schedule is but I'm sure that reading the docs I'll find that. I'll try and write here if it's work or dont.

Thanks again,

Pedro.
