Using a script to capture scape photos in bulk?

I'm just wondering if anyone out there with experience of using scripts to grind in GT7 could say whether it would be possible to automate the process of taking photos in scapes in bulk.

I'm concerned that at some point in the future certain cars will disappear from the game, and once the servers go down we might loose access to those cars and their liveries. It would be nice to capture them as much as possible before that happens.

Any thoughts?
 
Just some thoughts since I don't have experience with scripting GT7, but website scraping and testing which can work in a similar way. Given what I've read about automating grinding, this should be possible with Remote Play, although it's from 2022/2023



You'd need to think of a loop that can be repeated in the game. Let's say you put two scapes locations into your favourites, they are always at the same place in the selection menu, and the overall interface (like the camera tab) are in the same places, and the photo settings are always the same too - I think this would be easy to automate to click through.

I struggle to come up with a good way to loop through the car selection though, since you'd have to remember the current position in the script and go to the next one on each iteration.

Maybe you can automate just parts of it, for example:

You select a scape, and place a car, then you start the script:
  • it rotates the car to a certain angle
  • goes to the camera tab
  • takes a photo, clicks ok
  • goes back to car view, flips it around
  • takes another photo

You select the next car, repeat
