Slayer Addition: First-Person Spectating

[Racerboy]

Like in most FPS games, after you die you can go around spectating other players from different points of view. This addition would allow you to spectate in first person, just as the player you are spectating sees. Hitting spacebar in spectate mode, in Slayer, allows you to change between free-cam and third person, adding first person in there would make it a rotation between the 3 views.

Not entirely sure if it's possible, but /support.

I've experimented with this before and sadly it's not quite possible.

[hodototman]

what if they placed the camera directly ABOVE the player's head?!?!

maybe that'd be fun idk lol

With this logic you could just place the camera where I said it should be placed.

What makes it not possible?

you could do a rapid loop to place the camera in the exact position of the head but this would be stuttery and too many first person cameras would probably use up too much of the server's resources

Why not attach a invisible magic carpet to the head of the player being spectated, then mount the spectator on it with a invisible body

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

mount an invisible playertype that has no collision box and can't turn or move or crouch or sit
and if more want to spectate mount them on that one

I was thinking of doing that, but would it be a problem if 30 people were spectating 1 of 2 people ;-;

this might end up causing the person being spectated some lag..

Empty.dts?

You can't prevent them from turning the camera. Unless somebody knows a non-hacky way of doing this spectator mode, I won't include it in Slayer.

is it possible to mount cameras to objects?

forget

Sounded like a nice idea.

kindof, you could mount the player to the head of the person and then set there camera object in control of an invisible bot which would prevent them from being able to move their camera around
