How to Easily Add Local Multiplayer in Godot

[@pitnaya]

For people watching this on the future: On latest versions of Godot you need to include @ in @export to make it work properly

Ahh I never thought of that trick with modulo, that's great! Would love a tutorial on split screen btw, I was thinking about that the whole time while watching :D

Thank you sir, for this video it will work good for my curremt space shooter game

[@rocket007]

Ok that's a cool technic especially for slit screen type games

[@AcroProjects]

Hey, first off, fantastic tutorial! Found this on a whim 2 weeks ago and it's made my project a lot easier to manage with the Player IDs. I also had a question, and it's ok if you don't really know yourself: Do you know how to allow each player to customize their controls, or have a tutorial in the works about that? I haven't had much luck finding a way to let players change their controls for multiplayer. But either, amazing tutorial and look forward to seeing more of your videos =)

Hm I haven't really messed with key mapping much but I do plan on looking into it soonish since I will need it for a project. So I probably will end up making a tut sometime in the future

A gang beasts style local multiplayer camera tutorial would be nice

[@pierrenagonio]

Nice tut. THX. Any chance to make a tut about independent cameras movement?

[@lay2BH]

Hey, all works great and I am adapting this to my game. Is there a way to make device 0 for Player 2 if the game detects that Player 1 is using the keyboard?

[@bnkm07]

does local multiplayer mean i can play with somoene in another house or just in the same house?

[@rayuserp]

same house in person

Great tutorial but both my players are still reacting to the one controller. I did the %s and I did the separate action inputs and I changed the id in the editor. Any idea whats happening?

[@Michalemonkey]

I had to change from device 0 and 1 to device 1 and 2. not sure why but it seems like my controller was working as both device 0 and 1. im using a bt xbox controller btw on a laptop.

[@bnkm07]

can i make a splitscreen game on the same pc like super mario deluxe 8

[@rayuserp]

As long as you put in the work and dedication to making a game like mario kart then yes. And split screen in Godot is not that hard my next video will actually be using how to do split screen.

Can you do this so that players connected to the same wifi can join the same game?🤔

[@rayuserp]

to this you will need to write networking code and probably want to use a peer to peer solution since you want to use devices connected to your local network. I do have a tutorial series on online multiplayer though its on a client to server connection which you could use to do something like this just running the server on your local machine but like I said I would probably try a peer to peer solution
