Camera view default to ball when chasee dies

[General Gee]

Chasing players is fun, but you just tend to miss a lot of action watching them respawn

Would it be possible/relatively simple to make it so that if you are spectating a specific player (/chase <Gee>) and that person then dies that the camera can default to chasing the ball, returning to the player being chased once the player has spawned (or lost the spawn shield).

Gotta agree on this. +1

But I just don't see one thing, why stalk a specific player and not the ball which is the main action?

This could also be useful for TBD. Missing an epic lob or a great bomb-run is just not acceptable.

One possibility is if a clan recruiter/captain is watching a potential member play a match. Easier to just let the camera follow automatically instead of having to manually follow via a keyboard.

I wanna learn how to play Randa, so I start watching Namlak. But how do I know after his death if what he did was a good contribution to the team? Follow the ball!

Fair points. Maybe KarLam could add a simple command like /setcameradeath (0 - Keeps chasing dead player/ 1 - Chases ball for the period of time between players' death and respawn)
