Screenshot to Array (Texture)

[SeriousRPG]

Hi,
I found the TakeCameraScreenshot in the EcoSystem and it works great but I can't figure out how to modify it to take the camera shot and store it in an array as a texture item. I don't need the physical screenshot stored on disk, infact it would be preferable if it didn't save it at all.

I have a GUI panel that shows all the "pictures" that the user captured, if they press a button, so I prefer to increment the array with textures and display if requested.

Is this something doable? (I assume I can use an array since I am not trying to get one item vs. another, just circle through them all and display them in a table in a UI panel.)

You might want to see the topic "render textures" in the unity documentation or google it.

What you (assumable) want to do is so render your scene into a texture and use that texture on an object, that fore you will need to
1.) render into a texture from a camera
2.) take a snapshot from the rendertexture to be used as your UI texture thing

.. and the screenshot action saves the picture to the PC/Device so see this post http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=10978.0  and maybe it will help you.

All you need to do actually is get the picture from wherever you saved it and load into an array.

Thanks for the reply.

My client has a requirement that the photo is never stored to disk so I need to capture it internally in the game and render it back but if they exit the game the photo is never stored anywhere. I also need to be able to capture a "movie" and do the same but I figured one thing at a time...

Then you have to do like phanndotde says..

Or modify the action to not save it to the device but add the texture to a fsmtexture and load that texture then to an array using the array add action.


When i have a minute, i will add this option as it would useful. Try something like this:
Delete 33 to 41. + whatever is red in reset section
Add Line 57 Public FsmTexture2D test;
Delete line 133 to 161
Add Line 131  test.Value = screenShot;

Not tested (on ipad) so let me know it it works..
