[FUN] Spec Grangers

Not an idea aiming to improve/change the gameplay or anything (hence the FUN tag).

Basically, allow the spectators to spawn in a predefined spot in a map with a command.

The original idea is from uBP server. Spectators were able to spawn as grangers in rooms outside of a map. (Example: Karith’s sky, which was also a shit idea because they would spit on players. The idea was really cool but the spawn points sucked ass.)

From there I thought of a few ways we can tweak this. First we could have specs be able to roam around in the map, but be invisible to/nonsolid/unable to attack players, only other spectators. As PINK grangers, obviously.

Second would be, we could have spawns in a room outside of the map as it originally was. Except that future maps could take advantage of that feature and propose an obstacle course for spectators, for example. Or a room with TVs displaying areas from the map, with a couch and pop corn. Or a granger fighting arena. Or [insert infinite amount of cool stuff you can do with that].

Another idea would be to make the spectator grangers able to build their very own couches & shit.

I like this idea: maybe Pulse will finally stop trapping specs. I hope they can walk through doors (including button doors) like /noclip lets specs do, instead of teleporting/opening them?

That’s different. Spectators can still spectate normally but they can also choose to spawn as a granger in the map.

Fixing the doors would require making the func_door entities non-solid to the spectators and remove the teleport or making spec cam noclip. I and some other people don’t like noclip spec so maybe just have it as an option. ;L

Noclip as a spectator is already an option (that is off by default) on the test7341 server.
