* Optimise spectator loops
`count` is only quicker than `forEach` when the final command returns a
boolean or nil. `forEach` is quicker if the final command returns any
other data type.
* Use `forEach` instead of `count`
- Overhauls the spectator module entirely to share a similar UX to BI's "End Game Spectator" while maintaining some of the extended flexibility of ACE Spectator.
- Simplifies spectator setup by reducing the number of settings. More advanced setup is still possible via the API functions provided.
* Optimizations with private, params, and isEqualType
* Fixed tab being used instead of space
* Fixed tabs inserted by notepad++
* More usage of new private syntax and params
- changed a few checks for an array being empty to `_arr isEqualTo []`
rather than `count _arr == 0`
- added more uses of `private` on the same line as the variable is
declared
- added more uses of params to assign variables passed as parameters
- removed unnecessary parentheses
- removed several unnecessary variable declarations with private array
syntax
* clean up and formatting
Previously they were only hidden, but this didn't account for the annoying audio they play so now they're entirely staged like a spectator unit would be.
When the value of respawn delay is 0 the timing of the killed and respawn events can be a little strange and result in spectator being entered but never exited. The respawn template should just do nothing when the delay is so small.
Type 0 worked, but the mission didn't end when all players were killed.
Type 1 didn't work because isPlayer isn't true for seagulls. So spectator virtual state is now entirely unassociated from objects in the game.
Hacking the BI respawn framework to support a spectator setting was intrusive and limiting. Instead of using a setting, I've opted to introduce a new respawn template that can be used within BI's respawn framework. The benefits of this approach are:
- Compatibility isn't a concern, that responsibility is shifted onto mission designers.
- Mission designers can use the functionality of the BI framework alongside the spectator system (combining templates, using different templates for different sides, etc.).
- If a custom respawn framework is used, then this doesn't change anything. Custom frameworks are still fully supported via the public functions provided.
- Remains simple to set up, just requires a description.ext edit
