stock GetSpectatedPlayer(id)
{
    if( !is_user_alive(id)
    && ((1 << pev(id, pev_iuser1)) & ((1 << 1)|(1 << 2)|(1 << 4))) )
    {
        new player = pev(id, pev_iuser2);
        if( is_user_alive(player) )
        {
            return player;
        }
    }
    
    return client; // ???
}

return client shouldn't be return id ?

GetSpectatedPlayer() returns the alive player that you are spectating while dead, or yourself if you are alive or not watching a specific player.

Yep, I made a typo.

Exolent I got that, I asked you to explain the code

[Exolent[jNr]]

pev_iuser1 hold the spectator mode.
The modes are like:
- first person
- chase cam
- locked chase cam
- free look
I don't remember each one's values, so you can just test yourself for a better understanding.

After checking if you are in a valid spectator mode, it puts the alive player's id in pev_iuser2.

mottzi nah, let me make the purpose more clear.

PHP Code:

 if(!is_user_hltv ( id ) )
client_cmd(id, "stop;wait;wait;record ^"%s^"", Demof) 


what I would like to do is make sure the auto demo recording is done on players playing, not spectators.

thanks for replying claudiuhks && Exolent[jNr]
Ill make sure to try those out

PHP Code:

// Observator modes
enum
{
    OBS_NONE = 0,
    OBS_CHASE_LOCKED,
    OBS_CHASE_FREE, 
    OBS_ROAMING, // free look
    OBS_IN_EYE, // first person view
    OBS_MAP_FREE, 
    OBS_MAP_CHASE, 
}

Thanks! Saves others time, as well as me.

I came with an edit about this.

[CVarsMaster]

Note: when player's deadflag is DEAD_DYING (when dying lol) his observator mode will be OBS_ROAMING (free look)

our mod has a command named "spectate" and an event named "spectate" perhaps something more efficient can be done with that?
