Yes, that happened because I didn't cleanup the variables when you left spectator. I am working on a fix now.

You would switch teams, and never do a !stopspec or toggle !spec. So when your spectator target died, and spawned, you would once again be moved to spectator and spectating them. The only way to stop it was to do !stopspec. Like I said, I will do an automatic stop if you leave the spectator team.

Couple things.

1) I guess the CreateHudSynchronizer stuff doesnt work in DODS?

Anyways, in my plugin for DODS, I have added Printtochat messages that happen every 15 seconds to display the name and steamids as I kinda need that. Is there any better way to do that in dods?

2) You might consider editing your "Spectating" section in the translation file to inform them of pressing !spec again to stop it as well.

"Now spectating {1}. Type !spec, !stopspec or /stopspec to stop spectating this player"

3) Im not sure why it isnt, but can you block the chat triggers for this? ALSO, It would be awesome if you blocked the joining spectator message for people who joined spectate with the trigger. It kinda gives you away if they see you typing a chat trigger then joining spectate...

4) You also have a bug that if you are specing someone with timer going, and then join a team without ending the spec, it doesnt do the cleanup. I fixed it by hooking team change and doing cleanup if their team is > 1.

HookEvent("player_team", HookChangePlayerTeam, EventHookMode_Pre);

public Action:HookChangePlayerTeam(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
        if(GetEventInt(event,"team") == 1){
            new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));
            if(g_IsSpecingPlayer[client] != 0)
                return Plugin_Handled;
        
    return Plugin_Continue;  
        }
        else if(GetEventInt(event,"team") > 1){
      new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));
      if(g_aPlayers[client][iSpectatorTarget] != 0){
        CleanUp(client);
        return Plugin_Continue;
      }   
        }
        return Plugin_Continue;
}

(the first part of that hook blocks the join spectate msg if they have a variable set on them. I had to add a new variable for the check, as it didnt get the target info until after it switched them )

I have some ideas... I will include this in the next update.

If you use ! it will not block it. If you use / it will block it. They are public/silent triggers built into sourcemod when a command is made with a sm_ prefix.

Yes, as I have said a fix will be in next update.

Nice update, though when you respawn you get an annoying message about you stopped spectating someone but it's the server name instead of a player, is it possible to suppress this?

Here's a screenie:

Request Antithasys can you add a cvar to enable auto sb_status call when speccing a player or an option in the menu to call it?

For Steambans.com enabled servers people need to do sb_status in console once to grab a special code that proves its the right player your looking at and this needs to be called once in console WHILE recording / speccing.

Told you in chat, but figured I would post here. That was already implemented in 1.0.98. If you start to follow a player and have SteamBans installed, it will run sb_status for you.

Can this be set to be shown and activated by admins (flag) only?
I dont want all players to be able to use/see this.
