that's what we were previously discussing -_-

and if more want to spectate mount them on that one

I like where this is going.

oh damn
wait-
could you have them control the invisible player and have that invisible player control something else under the ground? then they coundl't turn it
You could create like a pool of static players below the ground (if they don't move they don't need ghosting updates) and then set players to control them. Of course in a full server this will double the ammount of players, but rampage gamemode does it the same

then the magic carpet rotates with the spectated player's head, bam.

Why not cut out the middleman and mount the spectator straight to the player?
I don't even think you can mount vehicles to players

If this gets made, the hotkey should be alt+f, I guess.
