How to screen capture a particular area in a torque application?

If you press 'h' while in-game, a help screen will appear. Toward the bottom you'll see that you can take a hudless screenshot by pressing 'alt p'. This will produce a sequentially named .png in your game folder.

If you want the hud to be visible, you can type this command in the console:

schedule(2000, 0, "doScreenShot", 1);

A value of 2000 gives you 2 seconds to close the console before the screenshot is captured. This will also produce a sequentially named .png in your game folder. Another method would be to simply use the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, and paste the desktop image into your favorite paint application and crop.

Actually, if you want the HUD to be visible, its easier to use 'ctrl p' ;)

Good catch... I only looked at the moveMap and not the globalActionMap. :)
