Cinematic 'Ruins' Replays. Solution???

[Gnuoy]

When players get defeated on this map, they get put in cinematic mode. When you watch the replay, you get put in cinematic mode at the same time, even if you aren't watching the defeated player. Can anyone imagine a solution or workaround?

Try to check the player's state before you put them in cinematic mode to check if a player is a spectator. Not sure if that's possible, I never messed around with replays before.

it's confusing b/c i guess the usual cinematic command does not work for 1 single player in a multiplayer game. The usual cinematic trigger reveals the map for all players. So i used this custom code that i found on Hive, and i use the code with a trigger for a player group that only contains one player.

Maybe I can still just check player state before this? with an if then conditional?
