Force a spectating player into First Person mode
 
I would like to know the cleanest way of forcing a player to spectate another player in the First Person mode.

Poor way : client_cmd(id, "+attack;wait;-attack")
All other way i tried were buggy with the view, but i haven't made lot of tests, may be that more than setting iuser, you would have to set player origin/angles.

Detecting mode change sould be possible with this message, detecting player change should be possible with this or this event/message.

/edit: Ok, if setting iuser1/2 does not work I don't have an idea, sorry.

Probably i will based it on this:

PHP Code:
engclient_cmd(id,"spec_mode","4") 
I also thought on:

PHP Code:
set_pev(id,pev_movetype,MOVETYPE_FOLLOW)
set_pev(id,pev_aiment,2) 
But it doesn't work. Probably because the user is dead

Thanks for helping me.

Hooking and modifying these messages with set_msg_arg (or blocking it) could do it?
No. Modifying those messages just lead to changing the visual information of the health of the spectated

Yes. I deleted that part because I noticed that just a second after posting. Sadly my connection to the servers is quite slow atm so it took its time :)

I'm also having delays when connecting to the forums.

An question off of topic.
How to block spec msgs 'Free Look', 'First Person' and such.

I'm not sure that engclient_cmd can be used with spec_mode cmd, and with client_cmd, due to lag, player could still abuse.

There is a DOD server that I play on that you can only spec in first person mode. Very Very annoying. So, it's possible.

For every player, it's doable by cvar that's not what joaquim want's, actually, for a LAN player to spec his CO-LAN-player is a really good idea, even if TS ghost is still possible (ban is good).
