Send camera snapshot with LUA

[joeygermeraad]

Hey guys,

I was looking for a way to gather a snapshot with a lua command.
I see that there is a command within the blockly interface to send a snapshot by email (which works fine btw, but email is a little slow..). So i'm curious if i'm overlooking some possibility withing the commandarray to retreive the snapshot. Because it feels a bit strange that its possible within the blockly but not available within LUA .

If things are possible with blockly, go for blockly, it is faster then calling lua scripts

Any idea how significant the performance difference is between blocky and lua? Always thought they'd be about as fast and have preferred lua because it's easier to make quick changes etc...

Just wanted to let people know that this /is/ possible:

commandArray['SendCamera:1'] = 'House on FIRE!! AFTER 1'

The nr 1 is actually the 'id' of the camera, so NOT the name. The "House on FIRE!!" is the subject of the notification/email that you get and the 'AFTER 1' is just the time after which the snapshot is taken.
