Add /spectate command đź‘€

/Spectate Command :eyes:

There is currently one way to spectate a friend’s game, but at times it doesn’t work! A simple command should be added that is dedicated to that functionatly.

Here is every variation of the command:

/spectate :eyes:

Opens the spectate menu, showing which friends are playing which game. If some friends are in the hub, those will not be shown.

/spectate [friend] :people_hugging:

Sends you directly to the game your friend is in.

/spectate random :game_die:

Sends you to a random friend’s game.

u k u can just go on ur friend list and go on thier server they ar on

It sometimes doesn’t work because Hive fails to send you to a different server if the server is already full. Adding a command couldn’t magically change this, and would thus be pointless as using the friends menu is faster most of the time.

When @SmileyOnSpot will come back, I guess he will ask you to add this to his Spectator Update.

Anyway…

Is that really useful? Why you should send yourself to spectate a random friend’s game?

Ok, that’s ok after all.

As @JJ81611 said, it’s kinda like the friend menu and so it’s pointless, although I like the idea.

I support this idea, because I have tried to join many times my friends’ games, but it was popping me messages like “Couldn’t join the server. The game is starting.”, “Couldn’t join the server. The game is ending.” (while I was keeping the tries from the 1st until the 2nd message that I wrote and nothing was changing). The /spectator command seems very useful on these occasions.

And @Daviditaly64, the “/spectate random” may not seem very useful, but it is a fun command, so I support the idea of adding and this command. Its the mystery. Which friend’s server will you join? :thinking:

With /hat this could be kinda useful

As i’ve said before, Hive will only send you to a server if

  • The server isn’t full
  • The game is in the waiting lobby stage and hasn’t started yet (if it’s a game)
  • You are invited to the custom server (if it’s a cs)
  • The server isn’t a server you’re already in

If these conditions are not met, it will not work. Again, adding a command couldn’t magically change this, and wouldn’t fix the problem at all.

If you don’t know what friend you want to spectate, you can choose a random one.

It’s not the friend menu, it’s a menu dedicated to spectating. Having to join a friend’s game through the friend menu seems out of place.

doesn’t really seem all that useful tbh

As david said, it’s kinda like the friends menu, and it still does the exact same thing with added bonus pointless features. Also i don’t see how it’s out of place to join a friend’s game through the friends menu, especially since you can also just join their game and play with them from there.

This should sound useful since it’s a better way to join a friends game.

The solution could be to add this as a subsection in the friends menu.

No it’s not.

Also @qAlexandria I saw you vote for my post lol (sorry for the ping)

No it isn’t, for reasons mentioned tons of times before. It’s not worth the development time to add a pointless feature that no one will use.
