Help/Support [LUA/AutoTouch] Problem with screenshots

LookOut · June 8, 2015

Hey!

I have created a script for AutoTouch which performs a certain set of actions and then takes a screenshot at the end of each time it is used.

the line looks like this:

screenshot("images/name.png",nil)

The problem is that even if I set the script to repeat a few tomes, I end up with only 1 screenshot - it keeps overwriting the picture.

I'd love to keep all the pictures.

Do you know how to do it?

You can code bro.... thats it im done

Can't you add a line where it stores the image in your image banks?

That way when the next screenshot is taken, it won't override your earlier picture.

How do I do that?

It's my 1st day @ lua scripting

I only know a tiny bit of lua scripting

I'll study up so that I can help you out, but I think you should be able to add some lines of code where the image is stored in your phone.

Thanks! AutoTouch created a function that does that, but as soon as the script repeats, it overwrites my screenshots

@@Goggwell I made a loop inside the script, so it keeps on renaming new screenshots. The problem with this script is that if I run it again, it starts back from 1.

Simple command asking me for input at the beginning of the script would do the job.

I have been trying to use i=io.read() but it doesn't seem to be working on iPad.

Perfect scenario would be recording the state of my loop in a separate file and then using it to continue the loop.
