Observor Mode

It would be nice if there is some kind of event that will be called right before a player goes into observer mode (and all code in that event block gets executed before the player actually goes into observer mode).

Something like:
PHP Code:
function onObserverMode() {
  
//This code gets executed right before player enters observer mode

I would rather that the player is, in theory, disconnected completely from the server, yet they remain in the playerlist. This way they don't show up in scripts, etc.

It's not like going into observor mode should be any different than logging out except that you don't leave the server.

Or did you have a special reason?

I would prefer Observers got disconnected or something when they go into observer mode. They disrupt events. Some of them go into observer mode when they're in a doorway, and end up blocking everyone

I guess that is alright too. I just wanted a way to control what happens when trials go into observer mode (for things like, as TSAdmin mentioned, events), but having them act 'invisible' to scripts would be alright as well.

Yea i've ran across this problem with trials too. I was thinking you were going to say you were going to make a small arcade game Napo, for when trials go into observer mode haha.

In my opinion, upon observer modes annoying addition, they should have also removed the limitations trials face. You know like a REAL free trial should be? of course then they should lengthen slightly the observer-mode time but still...

I can tell you, they're losing money with observer mode. I know a lot of people who quit buying subscriptions because observer mode was nowhere near as bad as losing items, etc.

Scripts: there is onPlayerLogout and onPlayerLogin when a player goes into observer mode or going back to normal mode, and you can check with pl.isobserver if the player is in observer mode.

We plan to change the observer mode limitation to a more customization-based system where you can play freely but need to pay (e.g. with SMS/Phone) for customizing your character and for entering special areas or dungeons.

I can't seem to access a player when they are in observer mode.
