"Take Automation Screenshot at Camera" BP function does not save images

[delphifissure]

I'm looking to use UE's native capture methods, highres captures taken with the API creates performance issues that throw off the execution of the flight plan.

I created a clean project, added a camera that follows the drone, and referenced it and its options with the "Take Automation Screenshot at Camera" BP function.

At play, "High resolution screenshot saved as E:/Github/Airsim/Projectname/Saved/Screenshots/Windows/HighResScreenshot000000.png" is printed over and over and over, but no images save, not even "HighResScreenshot000000.png".

This is the same issue referenced at https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/725935/why-doesnt-my-screenshot-save.html. The workaround found there (running the screenshot command directly from console) works fine, but not from the specified camera position.

Okay, so this is what i did
I made a camera, and i possesed it. This way the execute console command with screenshot works fine

@oppne Cool, my workaround was to use "Set View Target with Blend" and run the console command.

Could you please post code and screenshop of BP? Or even better - send pull request?

Here's the BP for "Set View Target with Blend" abd runring the console command at a given frequency. Requires creating a camera childed to the drone. "HighResShot" break the frequency, but "Shot" works fine.

I'd send a pull request but I've got a ton of extra stuff you don't need in the Blocks environment I've been using for testing.
