  • wow megamente thank you so much!

    can i ask you a couple questions as a i study this?

    - how can you set the max number of screenshots. i tried adjusting 10 to 20 o 30, but it didn't seem to work.

    .

    .

    - why is the middle code section disabled? if it is disabled then the arrow keys do not work to show you the screenshots.

    .

    .

    - is is possible even if you are looking at eg.screenshot 4, but take another screenshot... can we ensure the newest screenshot is ALWAYS still added to the end? (so it does not mess up the order)

    .

    .

    - is there a way to do it so if you have reached the last "screenshot slot" it either says no more, sorry, or it resets and copies new screenshots from the beginning?

    .

    .

    - if we want to add a download/copy button (like in the construct take screenshot example project) is this just a case of an event like "whichever screenshot is current being shown - download this one"?

    .

    .

    thank you som much this is really helpful in trying to understand how it work!!

    :)

  • thanks megamente!

    that's what i have set up in my test file:

    drive.google.com/file/d/1r3QY2UvJGiKgffoaFCAxZU9ttrY9-ixe/view

    but it still doesn't seem to work. :(

    if you / anywone could take a look and let me know how i can make it work??

  • appreciate it, that doesn't seem to help.

    it seems to take multiple screenshots, but then it doesn't let you see them correctly. for some reason the screenshots are smaller each time?

    here's the latest WIP file for reference:

    drive.google.com/file/d/1r3QY2UvJGiKgffoaFCAxZU9ttrY9-ixe/view

    if anyone else has any ideas be much appreciated!

    thank you!

  • thank you for the reply and suggestion!

    here's my test file for reference:

    drive.google.com/file/d/1mrluATlCItXrFS_VFFpb8RU9lQSY-ARl/view

    SPACE - to take screenshot.

    LEFT/RIGHT KEYS - move between screenshots

    .

    when you take a screenshot they seem to show ok in the screenshot sprite in the lower right...

    ...but when you move left/right, sometimes they seem to show just one screenshot, other times they show out of order, or none at all, it's a bit strange. sometimes, there is just one screenshot and not any more, i don't know why?

    any ideas how to get working?

    my aim:

    - let users take as many screenshot as they like.

    - let users look through all past screenshots

    - if any more screenshots are taken, it is always added to the last frame, no matter which one you are previewing.

    - let people download/save the screenshot they are viewing.

  • hi!

    it does everything to show one screenshot only it does not show how to work with multiple screenshots.

    does anyone know how to do that?

    the example in the first post is exactly hat i wanted but uses a function no longer avaialable in construct.

    any ideas?

  • Hi all,

    I found this screenshot viewer tutorial that lets you click through multiple screenshots a user takes in game...

    BUT it uses an old thing called webstorage that i believe was deprecated.

    does anyone know how to do this in construct 3?

  • thanks so much both you guys.

    yes i have seen the example project! i used that as a reference - but what it doesn't do is help you specific a particular layer to take a screenshot of, or how to hide layers in the screenshot.

    i will try the suggestion of a quick flash effect to hide layers... good idea.

    ps. do either of you know how i might create a simple viewer in game that lets you slide through different screenshots the player has taken?

    my post on this is here

  • Hi everyone,

    In my game I have a camera viewfinder to see what you're shooting.

    When a user takes a picture, I want just the canvas - specifically a scenery layer... but NONE of the camera viewfinder layer to be in the screenshot.

    Any ideas how to do this?

    Or to take a screenshot of a particular layer NOT everything on screen at that moment?

    LMK and thank you!

  • this is the code i have so far if anyone can help me:

  • Hi friends,

    I'm trying to add a feature where players can take screenshots anytime in game, and view them on screen simply.

    So whether theyve taken 1, 5, 20 screenshots, a small sprite should go through them e.g. if you hit simple left/right arrows.

    I tried expanding on this "take screenshots" official example but I can't get it to work.

    editor.construct.net

    I tried making the screenshot viewer "advance 1 frame" each time the key is pressed, hoping it would load in the next screenshot in the next frame each time.

    And I had left/right arrow keys move backwards and forwards in the screenshots but too can't get any of it to work.

    Any ideas on how to do this?

    Thanks all :)

  • hi friends,

    i'm trying to adapt the typewriter effect so it types out at the same speed regardless of how long the sentence is.

    the regular settings is of course.. "type out within x seconds" so makes every sentence a bit different in speed.... that's not the effect i want :)

    attached screenshots ofas far as i've got... but it's not working quite right.

    when a sentence is longer... it still types out much faster than if the sentence is shorter.... any ideas?

    thanks!
