Getting center of level (makescreenshot)

[pig132]

Alright i've run into a little problem making my own screenshot weapon.

Everything works fine except when trying to get the center of the level. I've tried fowlplay4's line of:

PHP Code:

temp.center = {player.x + 3 + (screenwidth / 32), player.y + 3 + (screenheight / 32)}; 


And i've also tried things like:

PHP Code:

temp.center = {(screenwidth / 2), (screenheight / 2)} 


And also 30, 30 for the center but no matter what i set it to, it always outputs the same image.

Why is this?

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired() {
  temp.filename = "screenshot_" @ int(random(10000, 1000000)) @ ".png";
  temp.center = {player.x + 3 + (screenwidth / 32), player.y + 3 + (screenheight / 32)};
  ShowFlash();
  makescreenshot2(temp.filename, 0x3f, temp.center[0], temp.center[1], player.z, screenwidth, screenheight);
}

function ShowFlash() {
  with (findimg(200)) {
    polygon = {
      0, 0, 64, 0,
      64, 64, 0, 64
    };
    
    for (temp.i = 1; temp.i >= 0; temp.i -= 0.1;) {
      alpha -= 0.1;
      sleep(0.05);
      
      if (temp.i == 0) {
        hideimg(200);
      }
    }
  }
} 


Thank you

A level's center position is { level.width / 2, level.height / 2 }

Still, for some reason not taking the screenshot from the center

[Tricxta]

Are the co-ordinates a screen co-ord or a tiles co-ord?

[pig132]

Screen, i believe. But regardless, if i did screenheight and screenwidth its still the same position

No clue as to how to how you would take a screenshot of the whole level unless your screen's that big sorry.

Assuming your resolution is high enough, this screenshots a level, at it's center, when alt + 1 is pressed.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function GraalControl.onKeyDown(temp.keycode, temp.keystring, temp.scancode) {
  if (keycode == 1073)
    makescreenshot2("screenshot" @ int(random(100000,999999)) @ ".png", 0x3f, player.level.width / 2, player.level.height / 2, player.z, player.level.width * 16, player.level.height * 16);
}

Not looking for it to take a shot of the whole level, just have the center of the screenshot, the center of the level.

No idea if it will work, but what about doing this...

PHP Code:

setFocus(player.level.width / 2, player.level.height / 2); 


right before taking the screenshot?

Nope...

Are you trying to find the center of the players screen or the center of the players level?

Finding the middle of the players screen would be half of the screen width.

Finding the center of a specific level would be half of the height (64) and half of the width (64) since a levels height and width are both 62

The makescreenshot2 parameters take level x and y. One level (nw) is 64 by 64.

Yeah that's what I was saying. I might play around with it and see what I can do

Solution.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function GraalControl.onKeyDown(temp.keycode, temp.keystring, temp.scancode) { 
  if (keycode != 1073) // ALT + 1
    return;
  
  // Limit size to level size or screen res
  temp.pixel_width = (player.level.width > screenwidth / 16) ? screenwidth : player.level.width * 16;
  temp.pixel_height = (player.level.height > screenheight / 16) ? screenheight : player.level.height * 16;
  
  // Get coordinates for screenshot
  temp.level_x = player.level.width / 2 - pixel_width / 32;
  temp.level_y = player.level.height / 2 - pixel_height / 32;
  
  makescreenshot2("screenshot" @ int(random(100000,1000000)) @ ".png", 
    0x3f, // include everything
    level_x, 
    level_y, 
    player.z, 
    pixel_width, 
    pixel_height); 
}

Wouldn't it have been awesome if you actually said 64x64 instead of 62x62?
