0000267: FadeTo doesn't reset on spectate.

Notes
(0000860) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2011-01-24 03:47	This should fix the issue, I tested the fix only very briefly though.

(0000861) unknownna (updater) 2011-01-24 04:39	If you turn into a spectator before the fade fully fades in, the effect will not be cleared from the viewpoint. I made a new example WAD.

(0000864) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2011-01-24 12:14	Ah, I see. This should also cover these issues.

And if a spectator activates the script before a player in-game does, the next time the script is activated by a player, the spectator will be affected by the fade, but the player will not. Perhaps this is due to the "suspend" function in the script. Here is the script from the example WAD: Script 1 (Void) { Print (s:"\clRed"); FadeTo (255, 0, 0, 0.20, 1.0); Suspend; Print (s:"\cdGreen"); FadeTo (0, 255, 0, 0.20, 1.0); Suspend; Print (s:"\chBlue"); FadeTo (0, 0, 255, 0.20, 1.0); Suspend; Print (s:"Normal"); FadeTo (0, 0, 0, 0, 1.0); }

Well, AFAIK spectators can't activate scripts at all since they are not part of the game. The only exemption is the puke cheat. I don't think that there is anything I can do about this except for disallowing spectators from using the puke cheat. > And if a spectator activates the script before a player in-game does, the next time the script is activated by a player, the spectator will be affected by the fade, but the player will not. Perhaps this is due to the "suspend" function in the script. Yes, I'd say because the script is just suspended, the original activator is kept once the script resumes. So from what I can tell what's happening is the intended behavior.

The only exemption is the puke cheat. I don't think that there is anything I can do about this except for disallowing spectators from using the puke cheat. Would it then be possible to have all cheats, minus the "chase" one, be disabled for spectators? Perhaps with a warning message along the lines of: "You cannot/can't use this cheat as a spectator!".

Perhaps with a warning message along the lines of: "You cannot/can't use this cheat as a spectator!". That's certainly possible, but let's continue this discussing in the thread you linked. Since the FadeTo bug is fixed now, I'm marking this report as resolved.
