Summary

0003100: Make GetPlayerInput to work with spectators/death player in a clientside script

Description

GetPlayerInput(-1, INPUT_BUTTONS);
this function should return the input buttons from the spectator only if called by a clientside script.

Why the request? there are some mods (mine included) that makes acs like menus that are interacted in clientside script, once the player spectate (or someone connect to the game but doesnt join) you cannot interact anymore with those menus.

Why only clientsided scripts should work with that? because there's no need to send spectators input buttons to the server (and if needed, there are ways to transfer clientside vars to serverside)

Additional Information

heck, I'm suffering from this lack of feature by 3 years and only now it came the idea to request it here...

(0017384) Catastrophe (reporter) 2017-04-28 09:45	My mod death race has a clientside menu that is controlled by the keyboard. You're probably doing something wrong. The only difference in this case is that the menu is accessed only if you already are a spectator for my mod.
