Ability to free cam during /chase

Would it be possible to make it possible to move the camera freely when the person you are chasing using the /chase command is dead?

Yeah, lrn2pressC

I was literally just thinking about this today. Please make it happen.

But then when the person respawns, you have to do /chase "player" all over again. And repeatedly do that every single time the person dies. Impractical imo.

Mac :3.

But yes I know there are workarounds to this, like "derp, press c and then type /chase again" or "CTRL C PLUS CTRL V", etc etc. Although, unless it's something that would be hard to implement because of the code centered around this feature, then why make the user do needless work?

Another option could be if it defaulted to ball camera while they're dead, so you could watch that action while you wait for the player to respawn.

This is what I would suggest. Makes more sense for people who use ball camera while they're playing too (when they die, camera pans to ball). That way, you can see what they're thinking and doing in relation to where they think the ball is and what's around it, etc.

That would be an awesome option, but the only thing I'm worried about is the fact that you can't freecam while it's doing that if you wanted to (like oh my god, you see a bright shiny thing over in the corner and your like what is that???? But, you can't freecam over to it because the ball is moving the other way.) It's just that you can follow the ball with freecam easily (left shift+arrow keys to move quickly over to ball, then just scroll around with it), but you can't freecam during ball-cam.

^^^ Hope that makes sense. Still, if we can just get it to a ball cam, that'd be fine and dandy and I wouldn't say anything about it. It's just my opinion that it's better free cam :3.
