split screen gui

Post by pin3 »

I have 4 viewports and I want to display a gui in each viewport. How do I do it. I tried having a fith viewport covering all 4 viewports for gui but I couldnt get it to work. I also tried to display the gui in each viewport but with this method I cant get the input(mouse) to work

I suggest using one gui that is split into 4 sectors instead of using 4 guis. This way I got it working in a game I am currently working on (2 player splitscreen).

Oh ... it's kinda the same way I did it, but I don't see the new one as "5th viewport", but it actually is ;). Nice to hear it works anyways.
