Hey!

I'm currently away my PC, but probably tomorrow by the evening I'll get back home, so I'll be able to give you some examples.

split screen isn`t that hard

First of all you need two views and of course deactivating the old camera:

Quote:

VIEW* camera1= //camera player1
{
layer=15;
arc=110;
}

VIEW* camera2= //camera player2
{
layer=15;
arc=110;
}

.......

//call that in your main-function

//define new views (splitted like in HALO)
camera1.pos_x=0;
camera1.pos_y=0;
camera1.size_x=screen_size.x;
camera1.size_y=screen_size.y/2;
camera2.pos_x=0;
camera2.pos_y=screen_size.y/2;
camera2.size_x=screen_size.x;
camera2.size_y=screen_size.y/2;

//activate new views and deactivate the old camera

reset(camera,SHOW|AUDIBLE);
set(camera1,SHOW);
set(camera2,SHOW);

Now your ready for development

-set the camera to your players-position
-make a movement script
-Weapons
-and so on

Good luck

best regards sebbi

heads up : whilst two camera and viewports is not that hard , be aware that keyboards in general have limitations , perhaps you are planning to use joystick input ?

Player 1 works perfect now working on player 2

I cant confirm this with facts, but I think this problem exists only on some keyboards or for certain keys. If a keyboard stops working after 3 buttons, try using other 3 buttons, this has worked for me in the past

PS.: Too bad I deleted all of my old projects. I made an awesome split-screen shooter in a dungeon setting once
