Good evening, is there a good method to save a screenshot “after” hiding some unwanted objects or elements, and then show them again?
I have created a puzzle that hides some objects in a loop and then takes a screenshot at the end…but it doesn’t work.

I think adding a small time delay may help.

Yes, the trick is ok. But is there a “on capture end” method? because the delay is relative to a specific hardware…

I think it requires exactly 1 rendering frame to complete. This can be emulated using a timer with 0 seconds in it. you might give it a try and see if it works.

In my puzzle, I create a loop to hide some objects, take screenshot, and show them again.
I tried to put 2 seconds ( for testing) but unfortunately the screenshot has all the objects visible.

Hi,

It doesn’t work with the existing puzzle setup because this is what’s actually happening:
– objects get hidden
– screenshot is scheduled to be taken after 2 sec delay (this puzzle doesn’t pause the logic, so we just continue to the next puzzle)
– objects get shown
– 2 seconds pass…
– screenshot is taken

To make it work you should move the second “for each” puzzle block into the “after 2 second(s)” puzzle right after “download file”.

There’s nothing like that available yet, but the ability to specify exactly the next frame instead of an arbitrary amount of time could be useful in this case. We added such feature into our TODO list.

Now it works with ” set timer”! with “after x seconds” no.
