Screenshots

[dbuske]

I read that F12 should send an ingame screenshot to the games directory.
I tried it and it didn't work.
How do I take a screenshot?

A game needs this in the global script, otherwise it won't work.

Code: AGS

function on_key_press(eKeyCode keycode)
{
  if (keycode == eKeyF12) SaveScreenShot("scrnshot.bmp");
}

This will only work if the according line is in on_key_press(), it's not hard-coded.
Here's the line from the default game:

Code: ags

  if (keycode == eKeyF12) SaveScreenShot("scrnshot.bmp");  // F12

Note that this won't work during blocking events.

The file is saved to the save game directory, which is usually in C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\[game name]
