Get input from a Spectator

If the Host of the Lobby is in a Spectator slot, you can still read input from them via Is Button Held. For example, Is Button Held(Host Player, Interact) would return True if the spectating Host pressed E (or their bound Move Up button).

You can also detect inputs from any spectator as long as these inputs are checked in a field of a visual element using the Local Player value. Make sure the Local Player is a spectator using Not(Entity Exists(Local Player)). For example, you can make a HUD text appear to a spectator when they hold their Move Up button by putting the following code in the Visible To parameter:

If-Then-Else(
	Not(Entity Exists(Local Player)),
		If-Then-Else(
			Is Button Held(Local Player, Button(Interact)),
			Local Player,
			Null
		),
	Null
)

Here are the Workshop buttons with their corresponding spectator input:

| Button pressed by spectator | Button detected by workshop | | –––– | –––– || | Move Down (default Q) | Ability 1 | | Move Up (default E) | Interact | | Move Fast (default Shift) | Secondary Fire | | Move Slow (default Control) | Primary Fire | | Spectate Lock On (default Left Click) | Ability 2 | | Modify FOV (default B) | Jump | | Disable Camera Blending (default Z) | Ultimate | | ??? | Crouch | | ??? | Reload | | ??? | Melee |
