Title: [Solved]Take Screenshot (no path)
Post by: stigma on August 24, 2019, 04:19:26 PM

I use Take Screenshot but I can not save the capture in the game folder.
I tried a lot of things but nothing helps. I want to be able to then use the screenshot in a material.
What is Persistyent Data Path for? There is no doc on this action.
Thank you

persistant data is a folder structure that is the same across all PC and all MACs.   However, on Mobile devices its totally different.

Here is an action which determines the paths for you

Here is some reading for Mobile devices:  https://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=20974.msg92067#msg92067

I just came across this, so it should be helpful to both of us.

The Android persistant data path should be this
/storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.mycompany.project/files/

Below are the paths, but its a bit older, so subject to change
----------------
Windows:
C:\Users\<userprofile>\AppData\LocalLow\<companyname>\<productname>


Windows Store:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\<productname>\LocalState


Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/companyname/productname

older version of Unity on Mac:
~/Library/Caches folder

~/Library/Application Support/unity.companyname.productname.


Linux:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/unity3d/<companyname>/<productname>
which is the-same as
~/.config/unity3d/<companyname>/<productname>


Android:
/Data/Data/com.<companyname>.<productname>/files
with SD card on the Android device:
/storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.<companyname>.<productname>/files
a fleshed out example would be
/storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.mycompany.project/files/

iOS:
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<RandomFolderName>/Documents

Example of the RandomFolderName full name:
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<055811B9-D125-41B1-A078-F898B06F8C58>/Documents

I understand. But how to make Playmaker get the screenshot. Is there only Assets and Scene that is available?
it's not for a mobile but for a PC

You might have a easier time with the updated action found on the ecosystem:  https://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=11308.msg84082#msg84082

it's ok but how to recover the image in unity?

The ecosystem actions should save the screenshot as a texture or file.  If its a texture, you can reference this in your scene.  If its a file, you may be able to save it as a Playmaker Object variable, if so then you can reference that in your scenes too.

I want to save it as texture but I can not do it.
