Player/spectator... is it possible?

[BikerJoe 4]

Hello everyone,

 

I don't know if its possible but is there a script of anything to  allow a player become a spectator?

 

As in a script that allows a player to switch back and forth from spectator mode without being zeus?

 

thanks

Joe

Yes. Debug console even has a button for it.

I only know for ACE spectator

Press ESC, and there is literally a button called SPECTATOR.

Press ESC and click it again to switch back to Player.

That's only if the mission is setup to allow all players access to the debug menu, which is a terrible idea. Less so if it's setup to allow access to admin/host, but then there can only be one of those (RCON aside). If respawn is set up for spectator, you need to be dead. OP could be a little clearer, but it seems like they are asking for live, toggle-able spectator access for all players.
