Splitscreen for Sandbox

Description
¡Attention!: All Sandbox settings are present on the start game dialog, but very few have been tested! Ensure that the “persistance file” field isn't set to an important persistance file, or is left blank.
Have 2 players ⅌ computer while playing Sandbox. Player 1 uses the keyboard & mouse while player 2 uses a game controller.
Splitscreen for Sandbox is technically a gamemode; to split the screen, select “Splitscreen for Sandbox” from the gamemodes menu. Allow ≥ 2 players; the 2ⁿᵈ player requires a player slot. Notice the menu option “strict control segregation”: Check this if the game controller is affecting player 1. Notice the “bind key” fields; use these to specify keys to open each player's keybinding settings. The default is 120 (BACK button) for Player 2 & 60 (“/” key) for Player 1 (when “strict control segregation” is enabled). These fields can take either a key # or a proper key name, but they aren't validated! Invalid values may cause a Lua error.
§Known issues§
•Player 2 can't use the context menu or any tools. Player 2 can only spawn some items on the spawn menu.
•Player 2's viewmodel looks silly.
•Player 2's view is fixed while driving.
•The joysticks always control Player 2. Movement of the mouse always applies to Player 1's view. Keys can be bound to control each player's movement & view, but the joysticks & mouse are fixed.
•Player 2 is technically a bot; no Steam™ achievements for Player 2.
•The map is technically rendered 3 times: the default view & the 2 render.RenderView()'s completely covering it.
§Map included!§
Splitscreen for Sandbox works on any map, but sgm_split is like the face of Splitscreen for Sandbox: It's just as split as the screen, & it's split in a way that thematically matches Splitscreen for Sandbox!

…anyone using the ×64 build of Garry's Mod? It doesn't support controllers. See this image from the carousel for a work-around.

Also:
•Some settings require Garry's Mod to be restarted to take effect. Garry's Mod even must be restarted to start using a controller that was just plugged in (plug the controller in & configure Steam Input before starting Garry's Mod).
•Confirm that the controller is properly plugged in & installed by clicking the Big Picture mode button near the top-right of the Steam Client window. The controller should work for navigating the Big Picture interface.

Because Garry's Mod doesn't natively support PS4 controllers, Steam Input may have to be enabled & configured to convert PS4 input to Xbox-style input. I can't say exactly how to do this or what configuration works, but perhaps these are some things to check:
•Click the gear icon on the Steam Library page for Garry's Mod. Under 'controller', ensure that Steam Input is enabled.
•Go to Steam settings -> controller & ensure that support for Playstation controllers is enabled.
•Click the controller icon on the Garry's Mod library page & ensure that a Steam input configuration that keeps controller inputs as (Xbox-style) controller inputs is selected.
