Title: ScreenShot to Texture Variable
Post by: Justin on February 25, 2017, 08:17:24 PM

I think this had been requested before but I couldn't find the action if there is one. I want to be able to take a screenshot and save it to a texture variable so it can be shared though twitter/facebook/whatsapp or whatever using the android native AN_Share action which allows for a message and a texture to be shared. Does anyone know how to make this? Thanks in advance. ;D

Hi,

 you'll need to use an asset that allow you to get a screenshot in the first place, then it's likely going to be called using a message, so you cand use the action "SendMessage" to trigger a screenshot.

 Let me know if you find an asset doing screenshots but can't control it, I'll see if I can do the custom actions and proxy to give you access to this.

 Bye,

 Jean

I'm using the Android Native asset.  It comes with an action called "AN_Save Screenshot To Gallery" but there are 0 options under this action, such as saving to texture variable or saving under a certain name to be called later.

I emailed Stans Assets to see if there was a way to do this that I am unaware of...

Thanks for taking time to look into this too.
