[ADMN] Spectate - Watch what other players are doing in first person [1.5.1]

Spectate
Version: 1.11

Spectate allows you to see what your players are doing from their point of view, simply by typing in /spectate [PlayerName]. You will see what they see as if you're looking through their eyes. To stop spectating, just type /spectateoff.


Features:

• Watch users from their point of view by typing in /spectate [PlayerName].
• Two different spectate modes. The second (scroll) mode lets you scroll through players by left clicking and right clicking your mouse keys, while the first (default) mode will let you spectate one person.

Permissions:

Ops will also have these.

• "spectate.use" - allows users to use the /spectate and /spectateoff commands.
• "spectate.cantspectate" - users with this permission can't be spectated.

​

The "spectate.cantspectate" permission will be automatically disabled, so it won't work unless you set "cantspectate Permission Enabled?" to true in the config.​

Full Changelog (open) Full Changelog (close)

Version 1.9

• Changed the way commands work.
• Fixed spectating players not being able to shoot projectiles and not being hit by projectiles.
• Added a '/spectate inv' argument that toggles inventory on and off.
• Added a spectate scan mode that switches through players at an interval. Type '/spectate scan (interval in seconds)' to enter the scan mode.
• Made players not able to interact with doors, levers, buttons, etc... again. This was accidentally removed in the previous version.

Version 1.8

• Added a new spectate mode which lets you scroll through players! Typing in /spectatemode (1/default|2/scroll) will change your spectate mode.
• Right clicking and left clicking while in the scroll mode will scroll through players.
• You can now see the contents inside of a chest, dispenser, or furnace when the player you're spectating opens one.
• Fixed players that are spectating being able to take items out of chests.
• Fixed mobs targeting players that are spectating.
• Possibly fixed interference with plugins that set different inventories per world. - This was untested, please tell me if it's still broken.
• Fixed players being able to enter minecarts while spectating.
• Fixed players being set on fire if they stop spectating while the person they were spectating was in fire or lava.

Version 1.7.1

• Made spectating a lot smoother, now you can see every little twitch they make.

• Fixed being able to take damage while spectating.
• Fixed being able to inflict damage to players and mobs while spectating.
• Made it so people that are spectating can't interact with doors, levers, buttons, etc...

Version 1.6

• Added a spectate.cantspectate permission that makes it so the person that has it can't be spectated.

Is there a bug? Plugin isn't working right? Please report it in the thread.​

 

Works perfectly, great plugin.

 

Is the source to this available on GitHub, and is it open source? If so I wouldn't mind having a look at this to learn how you do it. I've seen it in client mods, just not server. It's a great idea, btw.
Thanks.

 

You forgot to remove the "Something's fucked up" from your code.

 

does it use simple invisiblity, or something more cheatproof, like VanishNoPacket?

 

/spectateoff doesn't work It says :"You are currently spectating someone. Type /spectateoff to stop. and nothing happens when i type /spectateoff and i got the same problem

 

Oh, sorry about that! I was using that for testing purposes. =P

Fixed!

Sure, I'll get the source code up today or tomorrow.

Edit: Or maybe the next day. =P

 

Seems interesting, I'll be following this project.

 

ooo cool

 

Seems amazing!
Will test it out tommorow.
Good to follow xrayers and hackers <3

 

Where I can download v1.3?

 

This looks amazing!
Could you add a feature that will scroll through everybody? Like /spectate all (interval) or just set an interval in a config for now?

Btw awesome!

 

Sure, I'll start working on it and see what I can do.

 

using permissions EX and set in the config "Enable Permissions?: true" but the node "spectate.use" doesn't work at all nobody can use it

 

I fixed this bug earlier this morning and uploaded it, just waiting for it to get approved.

 

ok thank's for this plugin !

 

Source now available on GitHub.

 

When i spectate someone the person says
"WTF worst why are you in me.."
They see like a clone of me right infront of them :S
I thought this would be usefull for checking for hackers and cheaters.
So i hope you can fix this.

 

I've gotten this problem a lot while testing the plugin with other people, then when they force update Minecraft they can't see me anymore. I think it may have to do with some of the mods they have.

I'll keep testing and see what's going on..

 

alright good.
Hopefully it can be fixed

Using 1.1-R3 and Spectate 1.4

 

I submitted an update to fix this, just waiting for it to get approved now.

 

I would assume it uses simple invisibility.
Please remove the changelog from a spoiler

 

Alright, done.

 

First approval of the day!

What version of bukkit are you using?

 

I would imagine this being very helpful for server admins, as a new way to see what players are doing instead of using vanish, which can miss some things.

 

Really nice plugin!
It would be even more epic if you could see if they are using a xray texture pack xD
Doubt it can be done without Spout tho, right? D:

 

When I spectate people they say it's unplayable and I'm in their face.
They say I' spazzing in their face like when someone teleports to u for the few seconds they reach you.
