[Python]

I want to cycle through the players and see what they see, when Im in spectating mode. I know Im able to do this by pressing mouse1/mouse2, but I want to automatically do this @ respawn. It has to stop at a player which I choose in a menu, so I will see what he's seeing.

So basicly it has to do this:

1) Choose player from menu (piece of cake..)
2) Respawn: cycle through players (check..)
3) Stop @ choosen player (too easy..)
4) Let me see what choosen player is seeing and stick with him / spectate him (many attempts failed...)

I tried to do it with get_user_origin and setting this origin for the specator but this doesn't seem to work.

You can use attach_view, "attach_view ( player, target ) "
The target can't be a player, so you will have to create an entity that follows the player you wish to spectate.
This is a my Proof of concept, and has not yet been tested, so try this out.

new camera[33]
public FollowPlayer(id,id2){
new Float:origin[3];
entity_get_vector(id2,EV_VEC_origin,origin) ;
new camera[id] = create_entity("info_target");
entity_set_string(camera[id],EV_SZ_classname,"spectatorcamera") ;
entity_set_origin(camera[id],origin);
entity_set_int(camera[id], EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_FOLLOW ); //follow the player
entity_set_edict(camera[id], EV_ent_aiment, id );  //set aim
entity_set_edict(camera[id], EV_ent_owner,33);
}
Public Follow(id){
attach_view ( id, camera[id] ) 
}

excuse me:

Public Follow(id){
//you will have to find out yourself which player you want to follow(menu?) that should be id2
FollowPlayer(id,id2)

if (camera[id]){
attach_view ( id, camera[id] ) 
}else{
console_print(id,"I could NOT attach you to the player")
}
}

Ok thnx!

Btw what includes do I need?

Why do you use semicolon, whitespace and case inconsistantly ;)?

You would also have to do a bit more than set the origin, angles etc :>

[dutchmeat]

well i'll test it when i get home then

[Python]

Watch do you know a piece of code that will work and has been tested?
