Handling spectators

[Jensens]

Hello! 

I am developing an instanced combat system, and I would like to have spectators. 

Current problem:

Currently, spectator mode allows to have invisible players in a map, but they occupy one cell in that map cache. This would interrupt the cells where the fighters would need to fight. 

Proposed solution:

Is it possible to load spectators in the same map than fighters, but have two sets of cells overlapped, one for spectators and one for fighters? 

Is it also possible to show fighters in the minimap for that map? 

Any alternative solutions might be considered

Thank you

Jensen.

You can try adding a check on the player's status and current map in pc.cpp's pc_setpos() and make sure it does not set the position so the map server will think that the cell is walkable
