Does anyone have a script for taking still screenshots? I make cameras that are just for show but I would like them to have this function for real.

Sorry, unfortunately they are going to have to just be for show.

"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."

Technically you could do it but as pointed out; it would involve creating a custom client. Then you would have to try talking people into installing the client to go with the camera.
