Capture screenshots and save them in folder?

Question

I want to capture screenshots by pressing the mouse wheel button and save them all automatically in a folder. I found a link to screen capture script reference, but how can I change the button? and how do I assign the folder it saves the images to? T$$anonymous$$s should be easy, right? Please help :) https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot.html

Here is the right answer:

 using System;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class screenshot : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private void Update()
     {
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(2))
         {
             ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot(Application.dataPath + "/screenshots/" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss") + ".png");
             UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.Refresh();
         }
     }
 }

Thanks @PaulaOstupe for posting this. Exactly what I wanted! Sweet!

Hey @Rizz90, I'm sure you figured this out a long time ago but for anyone else who needs to know how to save a screenshot to the Windows Documents folder, change Paula's code to this:

 ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + "/Screenshots/" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss") + ".png");

I tried this on WIndows 11 and it works great!
