I'm trying to make an inworld camera so that when the camera is touched a snapshot is taken, has this been done before - is it possible? How would you start doing this?

Thanks

ok so how about positioning the camera so a snapshot can be taken? would that be a better way?

also would be nice to mount it on the hud so you can position it remotely somehow - this sounds like it may take some head scratching!

Q: How do I take a snapshot with LSL?
A: You can't. You need both a client (to render the image) and a user (to push the button) to take a snapshot. Short of some sort of macro system running on your computer, there's no way to automate this process.
