Spectate
What is spectate?
Spectate allows you to watch players from their point of view, simply by typing in /spectate (player). You will see exactly what they see, and they'll never know you were watching them.
You can also watch them from different angles. There's Third Person, Third Person Front (looking at their face), and Freeroam (you can walk freely around and watch them from any angle).
There's also "Scroll" mode and "Scan" mode. Scroll mode allows you to right and left click to change between players, and Scan mode will change the player you're spectating every few seconds (you can set how long until it switches to the next person).
There's also an API, which allows developers to take control of the entire plugin.
To see a full list of everything you can do with Spectate, head over to the Commands page.
Spectate has undergone a complete rewrite.
Please make sure your permissions are up to date, and please report any bugs on the tickets page.
Spectate 2.0 is here!
2.0 includes:
- A complete rewrite of the entire plugin from the ground up.
- Lots of bugs fixes!
- Spectate is now compatible with Multiverse Inventories.
- A fresh new API that lets developers control the ENTIRE plugin!
And some new features:
- A new spectate angle, Third Person Front mode! Now you can watch the player you're spectating while looking at their face. What more could you ask for?
- Another new spectate angle, Free Roam mode! Now you can walk around like a ghost while still viewing their inventory. Spooky!
- You can now see the gamemode and XP of the player you're spectating!
- If you were invisible before spectating, you will still be invisible when you stop spectating.
And many more features I forgot to write down!
So what are you waiting for? Download the plugin for the complete Spectating experience today!
The spectator can punch the person he is watching.
@leonn3k
Yeah, it's not possible. I'm currently trying to find a fix for this...
Whenever two people try to spectate the same player it comes up with "someone is already spectating this player" :\
@leonn3k I think so yes.
Is it possible to have more than one person spectating the same player?
@bearbear12345
Added /spec and /specoff (Spectate 1.6)
BTW Great Plugin
Can you make the /spectate command a toggle
EG.
(Spectates Notch)
(Turns off Spectate)
Is it possible to remove
and replace it with just
I'm liking this plugin so far.... most of it at least.
On my server we also like to use VanishNoPacket.
I'm not sure why it's doing this, but sometimes when I am invisible with VanishNoPacket, spectate someone, and then stop spectating, I'm not invisible anymore even though VNP tells me I'm invisible.
Anyone else have a similar issue, or did I screw something up? lol
(not a major problem, just curious about what's going on)
The person spectating should be able to see what the target has in hands and using.
and sometimes for some reason when the player goes offline or when your creative mode, and spectate off someone, then turn survival you will get their items.
People seem to vanish, like they went offline, don't know the cause but sometimes players just dissapear, no name in the onlinelist (tab) although their names show when typing /list and nothing seem to help but a server restart =/
Other than that, awesome plugin!
Thanks a lot for new features in 1.6 ! Everything works fine, no bugs to report.
Well i jsut put this in my server and found a minor bug, but it was DAM FUN of abug i mite add....if a player if holding a FULL water bukket and u just hold down the right clicker on your mouse it will keep pouring the water from the bucket and it never run out till the spected player emptys the bucket.....needless to say i got some on my guys to "bring me a water bukket" all thru out there town >=D its was a lot of "wet" fun yea i had like 6 flooded out towns to /lb rollback but it was sooo worth it, and how great plugin man a great way to "watch" a griefer in action! and to watch new players as well ill be adding this plugin to my top 5!
@dangerousdale
Indeed.. spectate that cycles through each player at a set interval defined with a command /spectatescan [cycletime seconds] would be fantastic.
A scan feature would be awesome :)
@judam
Disagree with this...
At least put an option in config to disable or enable for Hide on player list, it is very useful for certain servers, and try to add so they go invisible off /list or /who too when they go off the tab list.
Thanks!
Any way to disable the feature that hides the spectator from player list (tab?)
Hi
Love your plugin, but.....
the spectateoff command is to long, could you make a alias like /spo (or /speo)
and spectate is also a bit long, why not make a alias like /sp name (or /spe name)
Im admin, and i use the spectate command 40-50 times every day, so for me it would help alot !!!
And also..... if im spectating a player and wants to spectate another player, why not just let me spectate the next player without having to type /spectateoff ?
@kotpx3 You make me laugh dude :D
The 4th comments is " I tried it and it works with 1.2! At least if I remember correctly..."
Now why would you ask if this works in CB 1.2.3?
Yes it does work in the latest/newest version of CratBukkit. Download it and try it :D
Wow, this is one of the best plugins I have seen! Does this work with the latest build of bukkit? Would you update this for 1.2 anytime soon?
