Answered Spectating

[request_method]

Does anyone have an idea on how to check if I'm spectating a certian player? I'm pretty sure there exists a function called IsSpectating. And let's say I want to check if I'm spectating the player with the gamertag "CabCon". How would I do that?

Good question, I will take a look into it when I got home. This should be possible.

if(IsSpectating(player GetLocalClientNumber(), true)) //dont know if it checks if YOU are spectating the player

//or

if(self IsSpectating(player GetLocalClientNumber(), true)) //IsSpectating(<localClientNum>,[checkFistPerson]) - idk if checkFistPerson should be true or false

I don't know if any of these work, but I'm sure CabCon can help you with this

its grabbing local client and if it true so i think u would go about that like this>>>

function PISM()
{
if(IsSpectating(player GetLocalClientNumber(), true))
{
iPrintln("This Player Is Spectaing ^2>>", IsSpectating(player GetLocalClientNumber));
}
}//That what i get from the first one u posted

the first one i think is looking for first dead spectator

but u could also just download the spectator file and see

Yeah I know what you mean, but it's not what he wants. He wants to know how to check if HE is spectating a certain player.

I don't think this would work because IsSpectating gives a true or false back, no player information or something like that. Maybe, if the function works like you're thinking, you could loop the check for all players and on this player which the current player is watching will return a true. But I'm not thinking that the function works like this. I will take a look into the raw files again and try to make a function.
