Capture Screenshot then add resulting .png to an array

Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a function that takes a screenshot of the main camera’s view. These screens are then saved to a folder in the root of my project. I was wondering how I would then take that screenshot, add it to a variable in code and add that to an array so I can call the image up and display it on screen. I have the display part sorted but I’m not sure how to access the file and add it to the array. I’m using Application.CaptureScreenshot, any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

The easiest way to solve your problem is to use Unity’s WWW class to load the file. You just specify a local file. Typically using the WWW class, your code yields, but given the load of a local file you may be able to get away with polling the ‘isDone’ flag. It depends on the number of images and load times of each image:

#pragma strict

var path = "file://e:/AngleAxis.jpg";

function Update () {
	if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) {
		renderer.material.mainTexture = LoadImage(path);
	}
}

function LoadImage(name : String) : Texture {
	var www = new WWW(path);
	while (!www.isDone);
	return www.texture;
}
