Cycle through players while spectating?

Post by fng_thatoneguy »

Hey all,
I'm going to be projecting a tournament on 14 October and I need to know how to cycle through players in Spectator mode without having to bring up the score list and right-click their name. It seemed there used to be a way to use keys to cycle through each player while spectating?

I've been told online that 1 and 2 on the numeric keypad will do it, and I've had success toggling between two players doing that, but the camera view seems to switch when doing that sometimes as well.

If someone knows keystrokes that will help me cycle through which player is the focus, I would sure appreciate you sharing that information with me.

I'm planning on being in Replay/Manual mode most of the tournament if possible. I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but thought it worth mentioning in case it does.

Thanks in advance...

Found that on the Wiki, which seems to work a little better than just 1,2,3..9 while in spectator mode (didn't seem to change the camera) -- but it still only cycled through 3 players; but I was on a 20+ player server.

Is there a reliable way to go next|previous through all the racers by keyboard shortcuts, or am I stuck with bringing up the player list with TAB and right-clicking the name of the player to spectate? That isn't going to look as good on the jumbo projection screen. :(

Again, any help will be appreciated.
