Automatic Screenshots

[Odin]

Is there a way to automatically take a screenshot every 30 seconds or so? Sometimes you miss a good battle that would make a great screenshot.

[Undeference]

Make a demo and take screen shots later.

[Paradox]

Yes, but you cant play.

write a script like this:

Code Select Expand

/set shoots "screenshotjpeg; wait 30000; vstr shoots"

[Odin]

There is no way to suppress the "Screenshot Taken" message is there?

[E-Mxp]

Do:

Code Select Expand

/set shoots "screenshotjpeg; echo **Screenshot Taken**; wait 30000; vstr shoots"

Firstly, wait is in server frames (edit: client frames, same diff), not milliseconds. Secondly, I wouldn't advise setting up any kind of infinite loop because there are systems in place that stop that kind of thing. So far, everything I've tried has resulted in either dropping me or hanging me (i.e. froze me in position on spec, unable to join a team) Admittedly, I haven't tested with large waits, but it's probably not good for you.

That's why you use a proper config file for playing back demos.
