Code How to spectate yourself

[-=THOR=-]

Note to myself and the community.

If for whatever reason, you need to spectate your Pawn. In your custom GameInfo class, define this:

function bool AllowCheats(PlayerController P)
{
    return true;
}

In your custom PlayerController class, define this:

exec function Camera( name NewMode )
{
    ServerCamera(NewMode);
}

reliable server function ServerCamera( name NewMode )
{
    if ( NewMode == '1st' )
    {
        NewMode = 'FirstPerson';
    }
    else if ( NewMode == '3rd' )
    {
        NewMode = 'ThirdPerson';
    }

    SetCameraMode( NewMode );

    if ( PlayerCamera != None )
        `log("#### " $ PlayerCamera.CameraStyle);
}

When in PIE or in game, use the EnableCheats command.

Then, you can use Insert, Delete, Begin, End, Page Up, Page Down to control the cameras.

Thanks to Yoshiro!

P.S.: Don't forget to remove the code when you're ready for a release!
