The printscreen function of my Dell Inspiron notebook apparently doesn't work.
I have searchedeverything in AGS and the forums and the AGS website and can't find info.
How do I take a snapshot inside the running game?
If you're using the default game template you can use F11 or F12 (I couldn't remember which one, just check it in the global script) to take a screenshot.
It should be F12.
You can change the key to another one, all pressing F12 does is call the SaveScreenShot (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/SaveScreenShot.htm) command.
The screenshot ends up in "My Documents/My Saved Games/Game_Name/" (or the game dir with older games).
Thanks guys
Afraid that F12 or F11 are not working. I cannot find a sceenshot bmp file anywhere in the game directory or in documents.
Open your GlobalScript.asc (in your scripts).
Search up the word "SaveScreenshot", is it there?
If not, then enter inside the on_key_press function:
function on_key_press(eKeyCode keycode)
{
.....
.....
if (keycode == eKeyF12) SaveScreenShot("scrnshot.pcx"); // F12
.....
.....
}
