My code is able to export a screenshot to a file properly, but when I try to set the image to a sprite in-game, it just sets the sprite to null! Here is my code snippet:

func screen_capture(sprite):
	var img = get_viewport().get_texture().get_image()
	img.save_png("screenshot.png")
	var tex = ImageTexture.new()
	tex.create_from_image(img)
	sprite.texture = tex

Any ideas? Please and thank you!
