I'd like some LUA properties to manipulate the player's view. For example, I would like to switch the player to map view mode (at an appropriate zoom to see detail) and then move it to a specific position.
For example, a button that allows me to view a player. Click that and it snaps to their position in map mode and I can now see what they're doing without having to find them on them a map and zoom in.
player.view_mode and player.view_location
Re: player.view_mode and player.view_location
Okay, added for 0.17.
