Screenshot extension

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

Warning

The screenshot action only works in desktop builds (Windows, macOS, Linux). It is not available on web (browser) or mobile (Android/iOS) builds, because those platforms do not provide direct file system write access.

Taking a screenshot

Use the "Take screenshot" action to capture everything currently drawn on the game canvas and save it to a PNG file. Provide an absolute file path as the save path (for example C:\Users\Me\Pictures\shot.png on Windows).

Relative paths are not supported.

Tip

Use the expressions from the File system extension to build a portable path that works across operating systems. For 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.
