hey,

spent an hour or 2 on this tonight,

http://www.mediafire.com/download/4bt8pov688dh1bi/player_advisor%20(beta1%2030_12_13).rar

2 hot keys,

ALT + A - toggle advisor mode on/off
ALT + W - Toggle Watch Mode on/off

very much in BETA at the moment, just finding the code to accomplish this DIFFICULT mod,
i thought it would be easy however, i was having blonde moment at the time.. so had to find away to
get the advisors camera settings into each watchers UI/User Layer.. task complete.

i can also use the same tecnique to send the advisors mouse position in the world and on the ui
so i can hook up some kind of pointer on the waters screen to the advisor can point at units and stuff.
that will come in beta 2..

i have no idea how this performs when someone is watching an advisor, there "might" be some lag
i cant test this performance because i only have one screen (i do have 2 pc but they both use the same screen via a switch)

anyway... test the performance and let me know how it performs..

there should not be any compatability problems, its all fully hooked in with no overrides.

how it works is,

one player presses alt + a and all other players who want to watch press alt + w, the players who press alt +w will match the advisors camera.
all can press there key combination again to resume normal camera function.

cheers.

kinda like player y controls his own camera and also player x camera.

Nice idea too, could you do that?
