Hi, I have suggestions for JJ2+.

Spectator Text Changes

It's really annoying that the spectator text appears above other AS drawn text/sprites/pixels/rectangles on the screen. It would be nice if a onDrawSpectatorText was added to AS, so scripts can interact with that and maybe even change spectator text. Something like this:

Code:

bool onDrawSpectatorText(jjPLAYER@ p, jjCANVAS@ canvas, jjOBJ@ spectatedObject/Player) { 
       return true; 
}

Update:
It might actually be better to add the spectated object/player as a jjPLAYER property. Then it will be like this:

Code:

bool onDrawSpectatingText(jjPLAYER@ p, jjCANVAS@ canvas) {
       jjAlert(p.spectatedObject + "");
       return true;
}

Spectator List

It would also be nice to be able to have a property in jjPLAYER which has a list of the players that are spectating you. Like this:

Code:

void onPlayer(jjPLAYER@ p) {
      for (uint i = 0; i < p.spectatorList.length(); i++) {
               jjAlert(p.spectatorList[i] + "");
      }
}

^
That would show which players are spectating you.
