Spectate other players! Tell who's been naughty, and who's been nice!


Recommended Posts

This should either be an admin power.  Type c_spectate into the console, and your character goes into a comatose sleep, where they don't starve, go insane, attract hounds, ect.  A ghost rises from your character's sleeping body and is invisible to everybody but you.  Typing c_spectate into the console again, or haunting your body will return you to normal play.

 

You can either haunt somebody on your screen or press tab and inspect someone to spectate them.  This can be used to watch possible greifers unnoticed, and when they burn the base down or whatever when they think nobody's looking, ban them.  You can also see what they whisper; I have had an issue of a troll spewing verbal vomit at another person, and I couldn't hear him because he was whispering. 

I do believe this should be admin-only, because of it's abuse options.  You can avoid starving, hound attacks, night sanity loss, freezing/burning to death, ect.  On PvP servers, being able to tell where whoever you wish to hunt and how they're doing is also pretty cheap.  Sure, many servers will have admins/owners who abuse these, but I think on most servers it'll be used properly.  

Perhaps only allowing non-admins to use it only from the character select screen, so they can look around at the server's condition before choosing a character, or to wait out the last day of summer/winter with something to look at.  For them, there'll be a button at the bottom of the screen that says 'choose character' when spectating, and this'll be the only way they can enter the world and interact with it.
