I'm trying to take a screenshot of the background for a pause menu, but the game just freezes. This is in my controller object's press p-key event.

pause_bg = sprite_create_from_screen(view_xview[0], view_yview[0], view_wview[0], view_hview[0], 0, 0, view_wview[0] / 2, view_hview[0] / 2);

This is so frustrating. What's wrong?

--EDIT:
Made an alternative code so I don't need this function. Guess I'll never know why that function doesn't work for me O_o.

Hmmm weird, I will think what the problem is

Never mind, I screwed the function and went with screen_save and did some background replacement as an alternative technique. Working nicely.

yeah. screen save is safest way... and it works in 3d

BTW you should have used 0,0 to view width,view height

the function captures the screen not the room image.
