Hello,
I was thinking that teleports effects should be allowed in spectator mode aswell.
It would help in looking around some maps, for example:
In a survival game when you die and are forced to spectate it would be nice to explore the map for a bit and have teleports affect you.
There are also those certain maps where you can't really get to a certain part of a map unless you teleport, and due to walls and such, a spectator can't get to that part either Crying or Very sad

This feature is actually out there already. Check the very end of the list in "customize controls" menu, look for "spectator teleport". As far as I know, you're supposed to hold that button down and walk through a teleporter.
It never ever worked for me personally for a reason that I'm not aware of, though.

Oh wow, thanks perrondon and Sr69,
I had never heard of such feature. It would still be nice to see it implemented as default in my opinion though, but now that I know this I'm happy for now Very Happy

It does not work when you record a demo currently for technical reasons. The upcoming version allows you to use it while recording a demo as well.

To make it always on type +spectele on console. The reason why it is not on by default is because teleporters are infinitely high and you would trigger them unintentionally when flying very high above one. So it a bit more 'safe' to trigger teleporters manually when you really mean to as a spec.

I disagree; spectators are not in-game, so they should not trigger anything. The only reason +spectele was implemented was for special maps like Icon of Sin; otherwise, you'd be unable to spectate in the main area. Just bind a key to +spectele and use it as needed; that's the best solution IMHO.

Imagine this was implemented, the spectators could be able to exit a map that has a teleporter exit Rolling Eyes

Hilarious as that would be, I'm pretty sure the dev team would think to prevent it Laughing
