hello,
I have tested the spectating script (by keygetys) in Arma 2

it work but there is 3 problems

- Marker system don't work
- You can't change unit (nothing in the unit liste)
- When you move the camera (Freecam) there is a blurred effect (how to delete it ?)

thanks

Hello,
I too have tried the the scripts and I also noticed, when in first person view on a unit, the screen gitches back and forth to a different view.
If anyone has any info on this or an updated version, please post.
thanks!

Update!
Here's a link to the updated version for Arma2.

Making it work properly is currently not possible due to changes in the scripting system (The game can interrupot script execution at any time which breaks many things from the script). Hopefully some future ArmA2 patch will fix it.

Kegetys,
Thanks for the reply and info concerning this!
Be nice to have this fixed!
That link above goes to a version of Dead player spectating.
Tried it and it did not work.

Just use the specta from F2, it works. Only issue I know is that when using FA modules, people getting injured are removed from target list.
