The problem: if you spec in public and watch some1 playing.. after he dies the camera gets in the Free Fly mode..

Sugesstion: add a camera autoswitch so when some1 dies and you spec it the camera will change to the one that killed him (like in qlive)
In Addition: for teamslocked autoswitch could switch to the next player in that team were you was invited
Why: it helps streamers to have more fluent game-watch experience and all others Happy
Limitations:
1. this can't work if the teams are locked and you're not invited ofc.

suggestion: An xp varchar can be added in e+ to make the camera autoswitch off something like
\xp_cameraAuto 0/1

i await every1s replies on this theme
thanks in advance

Re: [suggestion]Autoswitch camera

I get tired of clicking all the time when in spec... Tongue

there is already autoswitch to your killer when you die option while you play so I think it's doable for spec to...

suggestion: can it be done so it switches to spec best player (most frags) of the team in which you are invited? and on public servers best player (most frags) alive overall (without limitations on the team you played in/were spectating) and when that player dies it switches to next best alive ?

Here on e+ when someone frag u, camera is switched to free fly mode autmaticly ... sometimes it can be annoying ... this style on the screenshot is better for me (and maybe for other players will be too Happy ) ... after your death it automatically rotate camera to the attacker position and turn on scoreboard, when u click, it will turn into free fly mode.

Pls make it configurable Happy

cookie said that i should post it here ... but i think our suggestions aren't similar ...

Re: [suggestion]Autoswitch camera

about this suggestion i would like to add .. maybe

having a command that could enable a spectator, that watches a player X that just got killed, to:
-follow the next alive id ( how is now)
-follow attacker (the one that killed X)
-follow teammate (same teammate with X)

also a
-follow last man in team (good for freeze/ca gametypes)
-follow max stacked (the one that got 600hp & 600 armour)
-follow best accuracy player
-follow best effective player
-follow powerup (the one that got a powerup) might be also good (quakelive alike)

the ones that i posted with green i think are the most important .. its for streaming .. and its hard right now to watch a streamed game cause if when some 1 gets killed the nextone has more chances to not be in the same area to see what happen next in that big fight.. follow attacker and follow teammate will resolve this problem i think.
