#(Mars) Forcing a player to "watch"

Using the look command, would anyone have any suggestions of how to make a player follow a moving entity with his view? For example, a cutscene; if the player is in spectator mode and an npc were to walk across the room, would there be a practical way to make the player follow the entity with his/her eyes?

!mech spectate

# viral ravine !mech spectate
Mechanism: spectate

Forces the player to spectate from the entity's point of view, using a packet (meaning, the player starts spectating clientside, but not serverside).
The player will not move from their existing location serverside.
To cause real spectator mode spectating, use !mechanism PlayerTag.spectator_target
Note that in some cases you may want to force the player into the spectate gamemode prior to using this mechanism.
Note: They cannot cancel the spectating without a re-log -- you must make them spectate themselves to cancel the effect.
Like: - adjust <player> spectate:<player>

oooooooo

#

hmm im not sure this helps though

#

I can't figure how to make the player follow the target

#

You can try it out with /ex adjust <player> spectate:<npc>

#

assuming you have a npc selected

finite saddle
#

yeah that puts the player in the point of view of the npc

#

makes you spectate from their POV

civic lake
#

Yeah, isn't that what you want?

finite saddle
#

no

#

I want the player's POV to follow the npc as they move

#

like realistic first person spectating

#

i want to track the target's movement, and have the player's look follow it

armor stand

finite saddle
torpid spoke
#

attach the armor stand onto the npc

#

torpid spoke
#

or

#

somethimg even better

finite saddle
#

oh well how about that

#

ill give that a shot

it looks complicated. might not have time to learn all of that now lol

#

i'm still gonna try a couple things. I'll let you know if I get it to work out right

#

thanks a bunch everyone!

I haven’t found an easy way to make this happen. Ended up making an invisible npc spawn and controlling that while the player spectate it.

If no one has any other ideas I’ll close this and check out that cutscene thing another day

static scaffold
#

just put an entity ontop of the npc moving, spectate that top npc

#

but also the cutscenes script will do it all for you
