Can someone disable the "observer" warning?

[King Tøny]

Sometimes I spy on people to make sure they aren't doing anything they are suppose to then they get warned with the observer warning.

How can I get it removed?

[Conan]

package disableObserverWarning {
   function SimObject::onCameraEnterOrbit(%obj) {
      //removes the bottomprint counter
      return;
   }

   function SimObject::onCameraLeaveOrbit(%obj) {
      //removes the bottomprint counter
      return;
   }
};
activatePackage(disableObserverWarning);

Source code of the observer: Maybe it's better to just rewrite it without a package in case another add-on uses it for whatever reason

Code: [Select]

function SimObject::onCameraEnterOrbit(%obj, %camera)
{
%client = %obj.client;
if(!isObject(%client))
return;

%observerName = "<OBSERVER>";
if(%camera.getControllingClient())
%observerName = %camera.getControllingClient().getPlayerName();

%playerName = "<PLAYERNAME>";
if(%obj.getControllingClient())
%playerName = %obj.getControllingClient().getPlayerName();
else if(isObject(%obj.client))
%playerName = %obj.client.getPlayerName();

%obj.observerCount = %obj.observerCount + 1;
if(%obj.observerCount == 1)
commandToClient(%client, 'BottomPrint', "\c4" @ %obj.observerCount @ " observer", 2, 1);
else
commandToClient(%client, 'BottomPrint', "\c4" @ %obj.observerCount @ " observers", 2, 1);
}

function SimObject::onCameraLeaveOrbit(%obj, %camera)
{
%client = %obj.client;
if(!isObject(%client))
return;

%observerName = "<OBSERVER>";
if(%camera.getControllingClient())
%observerName = %camera.getControllingClient().getPlayerName();

%playerName = "<PLAYERNAME>";
if(%obj.getControllingClient())
%playerName = %obj.getControllingClient().getPlayerName();
else if(isObject(%obj.client))
%playerName = %obj.client.getPlayerName();

%obj.observerCount = %obj.observerCount - 1;
%mg = %client.miniGame;
if(isObject(%mg) && %mg.RespawnTime <= 0)
{
if (%obj.observerCount == 1)
commandToClient(%client, 'BottomPrint', "\c4" @ %obj.observerCount @ " observer", 2, 1);
else
commandToClient(%client, 'BottomPrint', "\c4" @ %obj.observerCount @ " observers", 2, 1);
}
}

no other addons use it, its basically useless code

There isn't anything useful you can even do with it. In any case you'd be making a camera orbit a player, you'd probably want do do something within the function that did it.

I'm not sure why the function was even used by default instead of putting it in the spectating code. I don't think any admin wants someone to know they're watching.

[phflack]

is that default to the game or something?
I don't remember it ever having an observer count

Yes, it is straight from the source. It's always had an observer count, try having multiple people spy on you

[Shift Kitty]

It hasn't always had it.
It had it since the gamemode system came out, which was also the same update where you could use a 1 life system in default minigames.

I guess that kind of makes sense, thought it might've been a slayer thing instead

[King Tøny]

It was made for the race cart gamemode.

Blockland has not only had it.

Besides it's basically broken outside of that gamemode. it flashes "observer" for like 2 seconds but that's still enough time for someone to know they are being watched

[Luigi609²]

There's an addon that does this

Took my entire afternoon but I found a way. Here you go.
