Capturing an image in game

by Adrian Walters · in Torque Game Engine · 04/29/2005 (10:04 am) · 4 replies

Does anyone know of a way of capturing an image 'in-game' i.e. take a photograph of the current scene (or part of it) and save it away as a png or jpg or something.

I'd like my player to be able to take pictures and for them to be save in their 'journal' during or even as the point of a quest.

Cheers

Ctrl-P is the screenshot key. Good starting point!

Easy peesy lemon squeezy! Thanks Ben. I'm afraid I didn't know that ctrl-p did anything.

Hmm thats a pretty interesting Idea, does anyone know if there is any way to let the engine know about the screen shots it does have? Make them an object of some sort?

I encourage you to read the code that saves the screenshots. I'm sure whatever functionality you have in mind would be an easy step from there.
