Summary0001934: GetPlayerInput does not work properly with spectators offline
DescriptionWith the account system coming up I need getplayerinput to work with spectators through a clientsided script.

For example, my mod has a purchase menu, but it is for last man standing only. So if you want to buy something you'd have to wait the full five minutes for a game to end, so it gets rather tedious.

Plus, if I did implement a way for the menu to work while in-game, it would lead me to keep players invulnerable so they don't die while using the menu. Problem with this is that if I keep a player invulnerable, it could get abused and lead to matches getting stalled forever.

Adding a weaponless area for purchasing items, but I want to keep this mod compatible with other mappacks. Adding a map just for buying items could work, but then people wanting to buy stuff would have to wait ages until the map rotation enters the map.

tl;dr let me use getplayerinput on a spectator using a clientsided script so I can make a purchase menu without disrupting a game.

 It already should work for spectators.

 No, it doesn't. See the attached file. Puke 10 as a spectator and try moving, then do the same thing as a player and you'll see what's wrong.

 To use GetPlayerInput in a clientside script, set the activator to the world and use -1 as the player number.

 <Catastrophe> like this?
<Catastrophe> setactivator(-1);
<Catastrophe> buttons = GetPlayerInput (-1, INPUT_BUTTONS);
<Qent> yep
<Catastrophe> doesnt work in sp
<Qent> yeah that's a problem
<Qent> in singleplayer you have to use PlayerNumber i think
<Catastrophe> that is gay.
<Qent>'https://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=1656 [^]'
<Qent> yeah it is :/
<Qent> *ConsolePlayerNumber, not PlayerNumber
<Catastrophe> yep works online if I do this
<Catastrophe> Sigh, so the acs has to be different to test offline... Great.
<Qent> ok great, i'll close the ticket


I guess you can close, though I'd prefer if this inconsistency got fixed.

 In this case isn't it duplicate of 1656?
