Clicking a player's name on scoreboard spectates them

    Thread title. If you click on a players name on the scoreboard while in spectator mode, it auto follows them like it does if you click on them in-game. Would make it a lot easier to find someone and spectate them on larger player count servers and maps. I talked to @makmoud98 and @Skinney about it, and they said it shouldnt be too hard to add. @Fuzzle can you do this? :D

    Yeah it'd be good for admins too.

    Yeah i forgot to specifically say that in my post but thats what I meant. More for helping admins quickly spectate some griefer or hacker and be able to take swift action. The quicker an admin can witness and confirm hacking/griefing, the quicker they can ban them and the less of a chance a whole map/game is ruined.

    Hmm maybe we can work that out. Mak and skinney didnt seem too interested in actually doing it. I'll have a talk about it tonight with some others. More to come! Tagging @Geti so maybe he sees this and I dont have to stalk him.

    @Geti give @Fuzzle a head of his choice, a cookie and some scripts. Would be fair IMO.

    Scoreboard isn't bound or done in scripts, one of the few things that isn't. Considering how much string-parsing stuff it does currently I'm not really convinced it'd be a great thing to expose, though I could provide a way to turn it off if someone was keen to re-implement it in scripts and move forward from there?

    I can take a look at it, but I won't promise anything: I would rather fix issues.

    Yeah thats probably more important. This was just a random idea I had.

    Put it on the list either way. Decided a script hook would probably be helpful too (onScoreboard, that functions like an onRender called at the right time)

    The scoreboard hooks are all there now, and there's an example scoreboard in TDM (with hover actions but no result from clicking names yet). Feel free to have a poke around in there.

    I might be willing to write the code for this since I wrote a lot of the tdm scoreboard tweaks.

    I've implemented the clicking to auto follow, it'll be in the next build.
