All Networks Spectating friends

GiraffeLars · Jun 22, 2019

So today I wanted to play with someone who joined my party while he was in-game. So if I joined another game, he would get out of the one he was playing. That’s how I came up with this idea: spectating friends. The command for this would be something like /f spectate [name]. What this basically does is, it puts you in the game your friend is in and puts you in spectator mode so you can watch him/her play. So it’s actually pretty easy. And I think it would be nice to have a command like this.

That would mean trapping would become impossible

I do like the idea alot, but I agree with @Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do that it might become unfair...
Still my vote is yes, but this has to be thought well about

I'm sorry, but what exactly do you mean with trapping?

It would be Unfair for all games since you can tell easily your friend if someone its hiding, haves bow, a better armor, strategies and such.

Guess he means like when you have someone spectating you have an extra pair of eyes to help you where someone or something (like a gap) <- Trap will be ^^

Well if you get eliminated in a game this is also possible

Yes thats why it is fair to let people spectate who are already dead in the game, and unfair to be able to like 'call in' a spectator :rolleyes:

Then maybe not let them talk?

You can not check if they are in call... :/

In skywars or lucky islands i think this should be allowed - not much advantage can be gained from spec-ing in these and I dont think people are sweaty enough to call there mate just to spec for them. Also if people are hiding they deserved to get called out for camping

In eggwars a spec would be really advantageous though, esp if they can fly, move around freely and tp to players like normal specs. Instead you could limit what the spec can do (e.g. only be able to spec from their friend's pov + f5, not allowed to tp) then they can't call out opponents positions, armour, etc

Maybe if you spectate a friend you are automatically viewing from their perspective ( like if you right click someone)

If that means my traps wont't work it's a no.

Unless you do something like this:

Guess this would be the best, you are able to spectate the game of your friend.
But then only to 'see what he sees'!
Ofcourse you have an extra pair of eyes to watch from your pov… but then I think you should just look better without spectator ^
