@MarianoGnu you are correct, the issue is only that ViewportTexture::get_data() is not bound to GDScript, but that should be easy to solve.

Now queue_screen_capture() and get_screen_capture() don't even exist.

Haven't tryed from gdscript, but you should be able to call 'viewport.get_texture().get_data()' to get a reference to Image wich you can save. Also calling 'image.lock()' and image.unlock()' should let you get (and maybe set?) pixels.

This is how it works for color picker when picking a color from the screen:
