[Script] Making Screenshots

[Zorkaz]

Has someone found a way with or without F4SE to make screenshots via script?

 

Edit: I see I already asked this question. But the answer doesn't work

Looks like he forgot to put in the arguments

 

var[] arguments = new var[1]
arguments[0] = "Screenshot" ; the console command to send
UI.Invoke(ConsoleMenu, "root1.AnimHolder_mc.Menu_mc.executeCommand")

 

This should have at least a better chance of working:

 

UI.Invoke(ConsoleMenu, "root1.AnimHolder_mc.Menu_mc.executeCommand", arguments)

 

Other than that, SUP_F4SE has CaptureScreenshot() and ConsoleUtil has ExecuteCommand("Screenshot") if you don't mind using F4SE plugins.

I do mind using F4SE, because their website has 0 info but I guess I'm gonna have to try anyway ;)

Thanks for answering I hope I can put this to good use

It basically says nothing but their functions are also included in creationkit.com. Which only helps *a little* because that wiki is half-stubs. To be clear you will need the plugins mentioned on top of F4SE. I highly recommend SUP_F4SE, ConsoleUtil is only good for some console commands.

If you manage to get a Scaleform Invoke script working I'd love to see it because that stuff is basically a mystery as far as online info goes.

Btw here is the new version of the CK wiki. The old one you couldn't get new access anymore.

Dude... I actually got it working. Pure guesswork. Only F4SE needed for this, no ConsoleUtil or SUP.

 

(The top stuff isn't actually necessary, the lines from "Var[]" to and including the Invoke are the meat of it.)

 

Thanks for the link.

Function TestScreenshot()

If (UI.IsMenuOpen("Console"))

UI.CloseMenu("Console")

EndIf

While (UI.IsMenuOpen("Console"))

Utility.WaitMenuMode(0.1)

EndWhile

var[] arguments = new var[1]

arguments[0] = "Screenshot"

UI.Invoke("Console", "root1.AnimHolder_mc.Menu_mc.BGSCodeObj.executeCommand", arguments)

UI.OpenMenu("Console")

EndFunction

Neat. I actually want to make a mod about Wildlife Photography and back then I made "Cursed Camera Weapon". Hope I can put this to use

[Zorkaz]

Sorry to ask again but do you know how to add the function to close the UI? "TM" in the console.

 

There's a lack of documentation on the wiki and I do not quite understand the part with the akArgs

 

 

Edit: No need for F4SE, there's an ingame version

 

Game.SetCharGenHUDMode(1)

;Hud is off

 

Game.SetCharGenHUDMode(0)

;Hud is on

To add the "TM" command you would simply change arguments[0] to "TM; Screenshot" or (this is my assumption) you can create separate array items for each command

arguments[0] = "TM"
arguments[1] = "Screenshot"

In which order they will fire I do not know. Thus "TM; Screenshot" is where I'd start.

A heads up about the above comment -- it won't work. The " ; " won't parse as it normally would in the console when doing it this way. An array with several commands also won't work. You will have to loop it with consecutive Invokes and redefine arguments[0] each time.
