I can't take a screenshot

[brokestorm]

Hi, guys

I've been trying to search an answer in the forum for myyy problem, but doesn't matter how I do this, it just doesn't work for me.

in the code, i'm doing this:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
  love.filesystem.setIdentity('HardData');
  -- (...)
end

  -- (...)
  
 function love.keypressed(enter)
   local screenshot = love.graphics.newScreenshot();
   screenshot:encode('png', os.time() .. '.png');
   love.event.quit()
end

  --(...)
  

i'm just following the example shown in the wiki, as you can see, but it doesn''t work anyway.
'HardData' is a directory which I created manually, and it's in the same directory than the main.lua.
Do I need to create a canvas or something like that? I'm just drawing an image and then drawing some circles in it.

hope you guys can guess my problem. thx in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

You can't save to the directory where main.lua is, your save directory's location is os-dependent, and could be one of these, as the wiki states: love.filesystem.

Hahaha thank you very much! I was going straight to the functions page, so I didn't noticed this.

I really apreciate your help!
