Summary0000921: Allow spectators to be affected by most of ACS functions
DescriptionThe problem currently is that spectators can't be affected by functions affecting only that player, such as LocalSetMusic(), LocalAmbientSound(), Print(), etc. In my mod I change music to two teams independantly, and I wish dead spectators to be affected by music played to their team. Same applies to LocalAmbientSound(), I play different sounds in some cases to both teams. But my imagination is limited not only by these functions, I see no reason why I should be unable to use Player_SetTeam() on spectators or ClientCommand().
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationSo far, all information, sound, HUD, and most of ACS actor functions must affect spectators as well as players in the game.

After I quick look at the code I can say that LocalSetMusic() doesn't distinguish between players and spectators. The difference has to lie elsewhere. Please post a minimal example wad. Then I can say what's going on and we can discuss whether the current behavior should be changed or not.

After looking at the p_acs.cpp code I must admit that there is a little checks against spectators. The problem might be that I overlooked that I set TID of disconnected players to 0 so I can't call mentioned functions on them. I'll try investigate it further after I recover data from HDDs of my computer or the drives themselves.
