Split screen for Two player

#1 Surely there would be someway make it that you could view through two camera's at once? somewhere in the torque engine you could program it so that each camera would only take up half the screen displayed?

#2 Search for guiViewPort or FxGuiSnooper. That will poke you in the right direction.

#3 A split screen is farly easy to do with two cameras and using render to texture and the blipping the texts to the canvas.

The big issue comes from a deeper problem. You only have One client connection that manages the ghosts for that one client. You do not get the ghost objects from the perspective of the other player.

If your second player gets out of visual range of the first player he will vanish from the first players ghosted objects, you no longer have any reference to base the second player's camera on for rendering.

The only way that comes to mind around this would be to change the ghosting of the objects to always ghost to the client. NOTE: This will give all the objects to the client and bypassing any visual optimatization from not rendering unseen objects.

#4 I was wondering if anyone got the Multiplayer / Split screen into TGE/TGEA to work yet? If so can you post some info on how you got it to work or do you do contract work?

here a link to all the info i have on splitscreens
