WebGL - Screenshot

I'm using Unity 5.6.4 and I've got a game where you've got to find a bunch of stuff and when you find them all you go to a scene where there's confetti raining down and it says "you took xx:xx:xx" I want a button at the bottom where you click and it save a screenshot of the time taken. the game will be on a site and as an .exe. I've got the screenshot for the .exe version done and working its the downloading from webGL that isn't working. I know I need a .jslib to have the download function and then call that from the unity script.

In Assets/Plugins I've got download.jslib

Code (JavaScript):

1. mergeInto(LibraryManager.library, {
2.   Download: function (data, filename, type) {
3.     var file = new Blob([data], {type: type});
4.     if (window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) // IE10+
5.         window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(file, filename);
6.     else { // Others
7.         var a = document.createElement("a"),
8.                 url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
9.         a.href = url;
10.         a.download = filename;
11.         document.body.appendChild(a);
12.         a.click();
13.         setTimeout(function() {
14.             document.body.removeChild(a);
15.             window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
16.         }, 0);
17.     }
18.   }
19.  
20. });

This is called in the unity file save_Screenshot.cs

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. public class Save_Screenshot : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     [DllImport("__Internal")]
9.     private static extern void Download(byte[] data, string filename, string type);
10.  
11.     private static Save_Screenshot instance;
12.  
13.     private Camera myCamera;
14.     private bool takeScreenshot = false;
15.  
16.     private void Awake () {
17.         instance = this;
18.         myCamera = gameObject.GetComponent<Camera> ();
19.     }
20.  
21.     private void TakeScreenshot(int width, int height){
22.         myCamera.targetTexture = RenderTexture.GetTemporary (width, height, 16);
23.         takeScreenshot = true;
24.     }
25.  
26.     IEnumerator OnPostRender() {
27.         if (takeScreenshot) {
28.             yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame ();
29.             takeScreenshot = false;
30.             RenderTexture renderTexture = myCamera.targetTexture;
31.  
32.             Texture2D renderResult = new Texture2D (renderTexture.width, renderTexture.height, TextureFormat.ARGB32, false);
33.             Rect rect = new Rect (0, 0, renderTexture.width, renderTexture.height);
34.             renderResult.ReadPixels (rect, 0, 0);
35.  
36.             byte[] byteArray = renderResult.EncodeToPNG ();
37.             Download (byteArray, "Time Taken.png", "image/png");
38.  
39.             RenderTexture.ReleaseTemporary (renderTexture);
40.             myCamera.targetTexture = null;
41.         }
42.     }
43.  
44.     public static void staticScreenshot(int width, int height){
45.         instance.TakeScreenshot (width, height);
46.     }
47. }

When i run this in editor to test it I get an error

EntryPointNotFoundException: Download

Thinking this may be because I'm trying to do it in editor not on a browser I tried to build it but I got a error saying its failed its sanity check

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

It seems you'r JS code have a error. But i can't say where.

here is what i use to download a file:

Code (CSharp):

1. [DllImport("__Internal")]
2. private static extern void DownloadFile(byte[] array, int byteLength, string fileName);
3.  
4. //....
5. byte[] imageData = screenShot.EncodeToJPG(); //screenShot is Texture2D
6. string customFileName = "MyScreenshot.jpg";
7. DownloadFile(imageData, imageData.Length, customFileName);

My Jslib:

Code (JavaScript):

1. var DownloadFilePlugin = {
2.   DownloadFile : function(array, size, fileNamePtr)
3.   {
4.     var fileName = UTF8ToString(fileNamePtr);
5.     var bytes = new Uint8Array(size);
6.     for (var i = 0; i < size; i++)
7.     {
8.        bytes[i] = HEAPU8[array + i];
9.     }
10.     var blob = new Blob([bytes]);
11.     var link = document.createElement('a');
12.     link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
13.     link.download = fileName;
14.     var event = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
15.     event.initMouseEvent("click");
16.     link.dispatchEvent(event);
17.     window.URL.revokeObjectURL(link.href);
18.   }
19. };
20. mergeInto(LibraryManager.library, DownloadFilePlugin);

 

Used your code and got slightly different error

Do you have more than this jslib in the plugin folder? Try to disable them.
And i don't know if 'build and play' work for webgl. Firefox is the only browser where WebGL runs locally.
Also read this: https://forum.unity.com/threads/webgl-not-build-error.532281/#post-4118200

 

That's the only the only plugin in there, and I've checked all the other assets and only one has a plugins folder, and that contains a .cs that doesn't have an option to disable it for certain versions like that link said. I made another project just with that .jslib and script and it did manage to build, so there must be something I'm missing, but when I tried to use it, it threw an error saying I needed emscripten's linking support to use dlopen. But when I looked at https://docs.unity3d.com/560/Documentation/Manual/webgl-gettingstarted.html it says that Unity already uses emscripten, or is this some different part of it i need to download?

 

It sounds like you have one or more rogue characters in your script that's breaking the JavaScript parser.

error: failure to execute js library "L:\unity\Test\Assets\Plugins\download.jslib": SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

I don't see any weird characters in the script block above from a quick glance but you might have some characters before or after the code - just double check you copy-pasted it correctly.

Some tips for finding it:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12719860

 

I put the code in codepen.io and it didn't find any invisible characters.

 

I tested your code, and i can build the app without any problems.
using Unity2019.1.5.f1

 

I've got Unity 5.6.4 the problem could be that I'm just using an old version of Unity. I think I will just have to try talk work into getting Unity 2019

 

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 3D and 2D graphics within any compatible web browser without the use of plug-ins.WebGL does so by introducing an API that closely conforms to OpenGL ES 2.0 that can be used in HTML5 <canvas> elements tutuapp software.

 

This works like a charm in Chrome and Firefox! Thanks for sharing.

The only problem is, Edge throws the exception "TypeError: Argument not optional"

Anyone know why this could be?

 

1. var DownloadFilePlugin = {
2. DownloadFile : function(array, size, fileNamePtr)
3. {
4. var fileName = UTF8ToString(fileNamePtr);
5. var bytes = new Uint8Array(size);
6. for (var i = 0; i < size; i++)
7. {
8. bytes = HEAPU8[array + i];
   [*] }
   [*] var blob = new Blob([bytes]);
   [*] var link = document.createElement('a');
   [*] link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
   [*] link.download = fileName;
   [*] var event = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
   [*] event.initMouseEvent("click");
   [*] link.dispatchEvent(event);
   [*] window.URL.revokeObjectURL(link.href);
   [*] }
   [*]};
   [*]mergeInto(LibraryManager.library, DownloadFilePlugin);

this is perfectly work for chrome and safari.
but there is an error with Microsoft edge anyone has a solution??

 

You might have a bit of luck replacing it with this to account for Edge - hopefully works for all browsers:

Code (JavaScript):

1. var DownloadFilePlugin = {
2.   DownloadFile : function(array, size, fileNamePtr)
3.   {
4.     var fileName = UTF8ToString(fileNamePtr);
5.     var bytes = new Uint8Array(size);
6.     for (var i = 0; i < size; i++)
7.     {
8.        bytes[i] = HEAPU8[array + i];
9.     }
10.     var blob = new Blob([bytes]);
11.     var link = document.createElement('a');
12.     link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
13.     link.download = fileName;
14.     link.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click', {bubbles: true, cancelable: true, view: window}));
15.     window.URL.revokeObjectURL(link.href);
16.   }
17. };
18. mergeInto(LibraryManager.library, DownloadFilePlugin);

 

Hello,

I tested this but it doesn't download an actual png, its a file without an extension and when you open it in Text Editor it just has a number. Is there anything else I am missing?

Edit:Tried the one above and it works. One issue I have now though is I am using Device camera and it only takes picture of UI shown and not the environment actual view of device camera.

 

Hello everyone. I've tried this code and browsed endless of forum posts and tutorials wihtout success of making a "Save Screenshot" function for my webgl game. If anyone would be interested in helping me personally getting this done I have $100 bucks to Paypal over to you as payment for the job.

My webgl game can be found here: https://www.graffiticreator.net
I also have a save function that works perfectly inside the editor and on desktop but of course not for webgl so maybe there's not so much work to do.

Please let me know.

 

You can find a "download screenshot" example in this post: https://forum.unity.com/threads/how...e-into-a-webgl-app.380985/page-2#post-7407899

Live demo here https://demo.expoformer.swiss/webgl/standeditor-v3/
