How To Take A Screenshot In-Game | With 'Animations' And SFX - Unreal Engine Tutorial

[@Phoenix-sj9kf]

I was just finishing up a video game project for school and I just realized how helpful your tutorials really are. You are helping people from around the world just not create games, but professional ones and you really are a life saver if you can't come up with something. :)

[@MattAspland]

Thank you so much Phoenix, your support means the world! :)

Hey Matt Taking screenshots is not working in packaged game. How can I make it work in a packaged game? Is there a way to create an in game gallery with all the screenshots and have an option to locate them on your computer?

[@BubuRuzu]

This makes you wonder why they bordered putting this in. If I want screenshots in editor, I have Windows for that. You'd think in a GAME engine you'd be able to do things IN GAME. Unreal silliness.

[@stevenwynn819]

I didn't know that you could execute console commands via a blueprint node. Much more convenient than typing in the command every time you want to take a screenshot. Thanks!

[@MattAspland]

Yeah it's a really helpful node, big time saver! :)

[@gabrielgundes]

Matt... I just love you. Can't believe you keep doing such a great job every single day with your tutorials. You are a lifesaver.

[@MattAspland]

Thank you so much for your support man! Always happy to help!

[@ChuckDebWood]

Thanks for the tut! Works perfectly. Is there a way to designate the screenshot to be saved in another folder?

[@arknet4973]

Greetings. Thanks for the tutorial. How to save/overwrite screenshot at specific name? How to load that screenshot?

[@AL3DStudio]

fantastic work, as usual. Is here any chance of adding video capture to that? Cheers

[@sangitachoudhury1659]

[@StarCats]

Hello Matt. I've a problem. It's working good on pc but when I using it on an android device, it's not taking screenshot. Why it could be? screenshot not saving in gallery/photos

[@jayare7750]

Is there a way to take a screenshot but display it in game for a few seconds while the character can still move in the background?

How to open and close door with the dot which is in the center of screen

[@MattAspland]

This video should help with that :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZSkg4Cdatyeock

[@THEPRIMALREX]

My approach would be to extend the full opacity for say 0.10 seconds, inbetween that, delegate a custom event which runs the command line. This way at least the game freezes during the flash and not after it begins fading off

[@lemon3335]

Does one of these have the ability to record video?

[@captainx2319]

Second, and nice vid m8

Thank you bro!

[@Jay-uu5lu]

Will this work packaged?

[@kamilh3268]

Nope, it wouldn't. The best way is to write a simple code to and expose RequestScreenshot() to BP

How can I create a UI for the user to see the screenshot they just took?

[@pummelweed784]

Is it possible to do something like this with a save file, like when you save your game it takes a screenshot of your current position

[@MattAspland]

Absolutely, you could simply run this code, or just the console command, when you press the save game.

[@mistahnuke]

​@@MattAspland But can we set where it saves the shot, thanks

[@kreenbopulusmichael7205]

any idea on how to make a texture pan back and forth ? cant find anything on this

[@MattAspland]

Hey man, you mean something like this? You could maybe set parameters into the panner so that you can change it from 1 to -1 for example at run-time. That way it is panning. Hope this helps :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqmbe3uLltmag8k

[@kreenbopulusmichael7205]

@@MattAspland Yeah thats what I was having trouble with, I have it moving one way, but I want it switch to the opposite way and back on an interval

[@mozg3d]

hires shot does not work. it simply consumes video memory and does not free it up, so it's useless(.

[@michaelkukula5926]

**Just so people know, this does NOT work in packaged games. If someone figures out how to do it, please post it here**
