* Fix incorrect function input for spectator hiding
* Remove locations tab from spectator
- Doesn't add much value, adds complexity and the implementation is half
baked. Would rather add back in at a later date (if at all) with a
better implementation.
- I have an idea to replace the locations tab with a meta tab so users
can toggle things like projectile drawing via the UI and are not forced
to use a hotkey. Might also be a good place to display the extended controls.
- 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.
Minor oversight introduced in pabst's fix for #2989, the icon handler is a mission event handler that isn't self terminating so the index needs to be preserved until after it is removed via `removeMissionEventHandler`. It is safe to let the `onUnload` event take care of that (and preferable so that icons disappear while temporarily closed).
This allows me to explicitly close the right display and hopefully fix the interface staying open upon mission end.
@Commy2's theory is that perhaps the main display `46` is killed upon mission end, meaning that `findDisplay` can't find the spectator display to close it because the game thinks it doesn't exist.
Should fix#2989
There is a race condition between these 4 PFEH and the "onUnload" event
in handleInterface.
If the PFEHs run first they will use nil variables and throw a script
error.
This sets them to nil immediately when exiting spectator
Turns out custom radio channels are kind of a pain to work with. However this should work fine assuming the radioChannelAdd commands will work on client machines.
Adds an optional boolean paremeter to the setSpectator function for forcing the interface. It is forced by default, so if `false` is passed as the value the spectator will be able to close the interface with the escape button.
Using the "external" view is limited by the server difficulty setting. Instead the spectator external camera has been replaced with an oribtal camera as was originally planned to be added alongside the default views.
- Use a display rather than a dialog (contextually makes more sense).
- Move the entry/exit functionality to the setSpectator function. Preserves the handleInterface function for purely display related events and makes more sense.
- Fix missing semi-colon
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.
Seamlessly integrates the spectator system with the vanilla respawn framework when the onDeath setting is enabled. This commit makes a lot of changes:
- Edit BI functions used by the vanilla respawn framework to enable support for ace_spectator.
- Set spectator state is now tracked using a GVAR for the local player since using a unit won't be reliable all of the time. However unit is still marked for any filtering purposes.
- Instead of NV being used based on the sun to moon transition state by default, that functionality only takes place in the integrated system so that custom frameworks can do what they want.
- Seagull units are hidden when using framework integration since they're spawned by the engine with respawn type 1 and they just hang around undesirably
Existing variable "ace_spectator_isSpectator" split into counterparts "ace_spectator_isSet" and "ace_spectator_isStaged" in order to better manage spectator events
With the changes planned to allow spectator in the true death state, physical changes aren't applicable in all of the possible usage cases. This separates the physical process into new function ace_spectator_fnc_stageSpectator
