Title: action "Take Screen Shot" can I save image to iPad ?
Post by: mickman on December 18, 2012, 07:59:52 AM

Hi,

The Action TAKE SCREEN SHOT  can this be used to grab in game screen shots and save to iPad ?

I notice in the action description it state saves to "MyPictures"
 Is it possible to change the directory ?

I'll do some research, but I suspect you might need another action for iOS screenshots.

Not sure if this is helpful, but you can also manually take screenshots on your iPad:

If you feel like hacking the action, you could try changing screenshotPath to this:

Or this:

If that works, I can make the save path an option in the action...

Alex... has any further work been done on an iOS version of 'Take Screenshot'?

I am also working on a game where I want to take a screen shot when pushing the photo button and then upload that same screen shot to Facebook with a caption.

I have the Prime31 Social Network plugin for the second half of the problem and am working my way through implementing that (it isn't quite as simple as PlayMaker unfortunately).
