Screenshot extension

This extension lets you save a screenshot of the running game as a PNG file.

Warning

Screenshots are only supported in desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux) builds. On web and mobile, the action has no effect because file-system access is not available.

Take screenshot

Use the Take screenshot action to save everything currently drawn on the game window as a PNG file to the specified path.

Save path: An absolute path on the file system where the screenshot will be written (for example C:\MyScreenshots\shot.png on Windows). Relative paths are not supported. If the path does not end with .png, the extension is added automatically.

Tip

Use expressions from the File System extension to build paths that work on all desktop platforms — for example FileSystem::PicturesPath() + FileSystem::PathDelimiter() + "my_screenshot.png" saves the file to the user's Pictures folder on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Example

FileSystem::PicturesPath() + FileSystem::PathDelimiter() + "my_screenshot.png"

This saves the screenshot to the Pictures folder on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Reference

All actions, conditions and expressions are listed in the screenshot extension reference page.
