This code lets you take screenshots of your game for various uses within the game, such as screenshots of player-built tracks or player-created characters.

This code lets the user take a screenshot of any part of your game while in the do loop commands. This allows the player to press "p" to take a screenshot of whatever is on screen. Thus, creating a picture of a playcr-created character, track, or whatever needs doing. In the forums, I've noticed a lot of different people asking questions about taking screenshots like GTA: San Andreas, or racing games. I've supplied this code numerous times, but I believe putting it here will have a greater effecst.
