I was testing new split screen function but have problem getting it to work.
It does split the screen.. but realtime rendering shows up only on second camera..
first camera shows just a image ( doesnt show any movements that happens in game )



var s1 = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("Cam1");
var s2 = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("Cam2");

var p1=ccbGetScreenWidth()/2;
var p2=ccbGetScreenHeight()/2;

ccbSplitScreen(s1,10,10,p1-10,ccbGetScreenHeight()-10, s2,p1+10,10,ccbGetScreenWidth()-10,ccbGetScreenHeight()-10);

(in scene i have 2 cameras that points to same target " animated soldier model " first camera that should use first part of screen that is splitted -shows just a image .. nothing moves on screen (no animation of soldier or movement..- second camera that uses second part of screen works. )

I can't say anything about split screen function (I'm not using it) but i find much better way for me, i use render on texture from two cameras.

i have had problems with render to texture also.. i used it for mirror and scope-but had to abandon this idea -objects "depth" was messed up on rendered image.

now i had idea to make multiplayer game with splitted screen but not working for me.

Which script are you using @just_in_case or @hadoken?

The movement will only work on one active camera. While other is non acive unless switch from camera to make other active. but it function on one active camera.

Hi there @sven, if you are using camera movements with inbuilt behaviors then they won't work in on splitted screen, you have to create a custom script for the movement controller of your camera, otherwsie it will remain at the same place.
Other thrn that, everything seems to work fine on my side. Did you tried the splitscreen extension that I created. Recently someone also created a VR extension using the same ccbSplitScreen() command. I will try to send you a demo project file that uses this command, let me know if that works for you or not to confirm if it is hardware related issue or a bug in the splitscreen command.

Ahh, I just got it, what issue might you be going through? Sorry, it was not mentioned in the documentation.

You need to put the code in an OnFrameEvent to make it animate for you. That's probably what you are facing, you are not using it on an OnFrameEvent, which is why you can only see still images and no animation.

I hope this will fix your issue of no animation, just put the code in an on-frame event. Internally it uses the same technique of RTT for multiple-screen just like @SamGrady suggested.

Thanks just_in_case
Putting it into OnFrameEvent solved the problem.
