Two Layout Splitscreen

Hi there,

i was wonderinghow exactly you could do a two layout split screen? The idea is it to have one screen show layout one and the other show layout two at the same time^^

any takers?

Bumped

And if it works, how about splitting the screen output on 2 displays?

Yeah, that would also be great. But for now figuring out split screen with two layouts would be great^^

Nobody? Please?

Is there nobody out there to help me?

Ashley can probably answer you, I'm not sure how Construct handles layouts.

I've seen an experiment someone made on the forums where they were able to make a "splitscreen" game with two browser windows. However, your best bet is to code the game to work completely on one layout and load assets/level data into memory on the fly near each player.

As for splitscreen to two different displays, that's best with multiplayer between two clients (might be tricky getting the input to both windows at once, but it is possible in other games): https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/892/mu ... 1-concepts

Thanks for the info guys.

I have plans on displaying two layouts at the same time with one player, though, where you can jump from one layout into the other and back via gateways^^

Best way to do that is to probably fake it by having pieces of the other layout inside of the past layout and so on.

But i need both displayed at the same time...

Rehi,

so still nobody here who can help me? Because my entire concept is based around this and if this does not work i have a serious problem. I can fake it with having both parts on the same layout but then i would STILL need a split screen....

Would working with blendmodes help in "masking" part of the screen?

You could use the Paster Plugin to create a split screen but it would only be on one layout. Its not possible to show two layouts at once.

Thanks for the info. It would work with only one layout I suppose. so I'll chekc out this plugin thanks^^
