Title: [BUG] Spectator Lighting
Post by: Rodney 1.666 on August 12, 2009, 08:12:29 am: Either Proxy [OWS] was spectating with his flashlight on, or we have ghosts.
Bug duplicated after I was seeing this light flying by now and then...

What I didn't notice, however, was that spectators can control other player's flashlights as well.

Oddly, it stays to the right, and there is about a one-second delay in between your movement and the light's movement.

Note that you must turn your light on before spectating.
While amusing, a light shining over your head makes you a much easier target...

But I'm thinking the mod has specters.

He'd be mad if he knew i told you it was him doing it. ;)

He told me about it a couple of hours ago and i had no idea what he was talking about until i saw this topic.

Then I lol'd.

IMO we don't need a flashlight in GES.

The only use we have for the flashlight is to accomodate poor lighting work by the mappers.

And that's QFE or QFT, not FTW. I'm always FTW, but not always QF_, just usually.

So, I wasn't the only one thinking along those lines.
