I had an idea of having a split screen mode in gmod with the second player using a gamepad and/or keyboard. Generally it would work like L4D's split screen except using lua, therefore it will be better so you can bind things to multiple buttons at the same time giving more possibilities. :v:
This definitely wouldn't be done in lua, in a module maybe, but most like have to be done in the source engine.

While creating a whole new mod that supports split screen play would be both better and much simpler this is entirely possible to do with pure lua. It would just be incredibly and stupidly complicated to setup as you can only have one client per machine. The second player would be a purely lua coded entity and this would require heavily scripted gamemodes that support it.
A simpler way to say it is :
Not going to happen.
One way it might happen is if Garry was able to add the way L4D does it, but not likely to happen seeing as how there still isn't MULTITHREADING!!!!!!!! <<<<<GARRY.
