I want to make a multiplayer game, and I was wondering if there was a way to have one player’s camera follow one sprite, and have another players camera follow another sprite even if they weren’t in the same space for one camera to work. Basically I want to know if you can see something different than what another person sees. It will help a lot if there is an answer to this, and if someone knows it, please and thank you share it with the community.

This extension creates a second camera and splits the screen vertically, showing player 1 on the left and player 2 on the right.

I believe currently you must have set a tilemap before using any of the blocks.

Thank you for this, but I already have this extension. It is really cool and helps a lot but the cameras get really small with the more players you have. I hope Microsoft adds this as a feature soon.

Well, there has to be a compromise for fitting multiple players on screen… what do you mean by this?
