How to suppress forced respawn with spectator mode enabled

[alleycat 28]

I was trying to add spectating for one side instead of respawning. I have used this in the description.ext

respawnTemplatesGuer[] = {"Spectator"};

Also tried this

class CfgRespawnTemplates
{

       class Spectator
       {
               displayName = "Spectator";
               onPlayerKilled = "BIS_fnc_respawnSpectator";
               onPlayerRespawn = "BIS_fnc_respawnSpectator";
			respawndelay = 10000;	
       };
};	

This briefly enables the spectator camera, but then the player respawns. Any way to suppress? Am I trying to add something that is not supposed to work or am I just not seeing how to fix it? I think it is a very important feature to enable dedicated spectators in a zeus game if you want to play without respawns.

Do you have respawn set to 1/BIRD in description.ext?
