Re: Screen capture?

[James W. <jfc...@ya...>]

I see. Thanks. The reason I wanted to do this was to create a graphical save game system.
So I don't think that using something like the print screen key would work, as it has to be automated.
 
Thanks,

Simply, no.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.  All Lua functions provided by Pipmak
are interfaces (for lack of a better word) to a function built into Pipmak.

If you mean a Lua function that is part of the standard Lua library, then I'm
sorry to be the one to tell you that Lua is more primitive than you seem to
realise. ;)

Oh, and this will will probably never be implemented in Pipmak, because it is
so simple to just take a screen shot of the window on just about any system.
