Is it possible to use variable in a console command?

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Good day guys,
I am trying to setup HighResShot to use a different name based on variables.
I’ve found that so far in the forum.
HighResShot YOUR_RESULUTION filename=YOUR_FILENAME
e.g.:
HighResShot 3840x2160 filename=D:/example.png

My goal will be to have the name of the Character for the Screenshot.
For example, player enter his name “Bob” that go in a variable “VariableName” and I would like to be able to call that variable inside a command line to execute the screenshot.
Something like
HighResShot 2 $VariableName
to have an image named something like that “HighResShotBob.png”
Do you think is it something possible in BluePrint?
If you have ideas or a different way to do it, it will be super helpful.

Thanks in advance guys

Cheers,
Matthieu

I couldn’t find a way how to add a console command to blueprint, but I found this nice workaround which I didn’t know exists so thanks for that :stuck_out_tongue:

What you can do is execute events on actors that exists in the scene so what I would suggest is add this function to your playercontroller:

278487-highressshotfromconsole.png
278487-highressshotfromconsole.png964×384 77.7 KB

which you then can call from the console with:

ke * Shot

Thanks a lot for that clear explanation Lardo Deepdelver.

I will try that really quick :wink:

Thanks for the Help

I will say your answer should work but the command line by default doesn’t.
I should try it before :wink:
When I make the screenshot in game, nothing is written on disk.
I will need to find a way to make it writing the file before changing any name of it :wink:

My Bad it is working :wink:
