How about a screenshot utility?

[Mad Dog 7.62 0]

Hello everyone,

I am very new to ArmA but am enjoying the heck out of it so far. I just started playing with the editor, and I am just barely starting to figure out the scripting commands. I have a long way to go with them.

Is there any chance someone much more knowledgable than me has made or could make a little utility to make it easier to get screenshots? It would need the ability to move the camera around freely and to pause the game without the selection boxes coming up in the middle of the screen. Kind of like can be done in LockOn. Thanks for any help or info!!!

Biki: Camera.sqs

Think that should suit what you are looking for.

Well, kind of but not really, unless I just don't understand everything about using it. I have used camera.sqs in the mission editor, but it would be nice to have the ability to just turn it on and off with a keystroke. Kind of like the * star key does, but a completely free camera.

Also, is there anyway to pause the game without the selection box coming up, while still retaining the ability to move the camera around?

I am guessing from some of the great mods and add-ons that are out there for this game there is way to do it, I am just not knowledgable enough to know how.

This utility will let you take screen shots with the Prnt Screen button as fast as you can hit the button. Saves them as either BMP or JPGM (you decide) and lets you choose Demensions. Nice little utility. Enjoy!

Mr Editor Guy should suit your needs then (I hope)

Thanks!! Thats better than just calling camera.sqs from an init line....at least in the Mr. Editor utility I can turn the camera on and off.

The only bad thing is having to put that unit in the scenario. I hope someone comes up with a game-level mod that allows free camera movement, preferably even when the game is paused.

Does anyone know anyway to pause the game without the dialog box showing up on screen?

camera.sqs can be turned on and off easily:

make a trigger, set to repeatedly and radio alpha activation - the on activation should be 'player exec camera.sqs'

every time you hit 001 it activates the camera, everytime you hit V it closes the camera.

as for pausing the game, another trigger will do that:

repeatedly trigger, radio bravo, on activation 'setacctime 0'

then to unpause press the + key (as in speed up time key)
