An observer device could allow the creator to have players enter and exit spectator mode without having to restart the game

This opens thousands of doors to games with waiting rooms where the player could choose to observe and exit observer mode

There are many options that this device could help and innovate the platform

🔹Receive event:

  • Enable observer mode for player
    ↪ Activates the single-player observer mode instigating the event
  • Enable observer mode for all players

  • Remove observer mode for player
    ↪ Removes observer mode from the instigator player who submitted event
  • Remove observer mode for all players
    ↪ Removes observer mode from all players in the match
  • Switch to next player
    ↪ It makes the observer change the player who is observing, in which case he goes to the next player → →

I really feel like it would change a lot the platform and all the game dynamics that could be created with it

I thought about this device 2 years ago when I went to create a waiting room for the players on my Rockets vs Cars map at the time and I couldn't let them choose between watching the players or not

🔶 Send events: When observed player is eliminated

=> With this event you could trigger that everyone stops spectating that player when he is eliminated

And you could do something like "if observed player eliminates someone" an event for you is triggered. So you could observe someone in a fighting map and if that player that you observe gets an elimination, you get points for observing the right player.
