Screenshot extension

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

Note

Screenshots can only be saved to a file on Windows, Linux, and macOS. This action has no effect on web or mobile exports. To capture a screenshot on other platforms, consider rendering to a texture or using a platform-specific solution.

Take screenshot

Use the "Take screenshot" action to save everything currently drawn on the game window to a PNG file.

Save path: An absolute file path where the screenshot will be saved (e.g. "C:\MyFolder\MyScreenshot.png" on Windows). Relative paths are not supported.

Tip

Use the expressions from the File system extension to build cross-platform paths automatically, rather than hardcoding them.

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.
