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!
@Chipmunk9998
yes, no-way they can work together? Where exactly is the problem there ?
@blablubbabc
Looks like another plugin is interfering, do you have AdminCmd installed?
@Jackalmen I just updated to 1.4.6 R0.3 (from R0.1, which did work). Now this pops up and server laggs like hell, and even can crash sometimes.. :(
Edit: shortend
Love your plugin. I submitted a ticket for an issue that we're experiencing with the plugin. Hope you can help. Thanks!
Work on 1.4.6?
At my server config commands not work, (/spectate mode 2) says "Player is not online"
Great plugin Good job!
It's a very useful tool!
Unfortunately, you cant see (spectate) newest effects, like invisibility... but just old ones, like haste.
@mmulqueen10 it worked for me, just try it out
@Chipmunk9998
Thanks dude :) , no worries if it doesn't, I'll happily wait for an update. I can still keep track of players through the server log, but been able to watch what players are doing make monitoring untrustworthy players a lot easier, and it's quite a nice feature to have :P
@mmulqueen10
I haven't been able to test it recently, I'll try that now and report back...
@Chipmunk9998
Just updating my server to 1.4.6, does the current version of Spectate (1.9.2) work with the latest bukkit? or do I need to wait for an update? :-P
Plz Update this to 1.4.6!!!
going it with 1.4.6?
1.4.6?
Update this?
I spectated someone who was laying in a bed and was taking damage. People in the room were asking who was getting hurt. The bed had a wall at the head of it.
@Kobra, have each of you admins vanish, and don't give the vanish.see permission to yourselves. perhaps create a lower than admin rank with this permission setup.
@Chipmunk9998, any chance you could hook into the DisguiseCraft api, to change the player skin to the spectated player? I'd like to spectatescan in 3rd person view, and record that to my youtube channel.
There is a small kind issue, So when you & other person want to spectate a person, the problem is here is that i can see the other of my admins body parts which block's whole screen of view. Is there a possible way of fixing this?
@SNIPER722
I don't think that's possible.
why not add a feature : use command to take a screenshot and auto upload the screen shot to the server? (this is the best way to catch cheater)
