    Is there a way to tell which player is being spectated? For example on AdminRadar I can't seem to figure out how to hide the box of the spectated player

    Maybe it's possible to check with OnServerCommand and see if the entered name can be found?

    You'd have to check for a child object I believe to see if a player is attached to them.

    looking by code, the spectating player is added to the spectated object as parent:
    Code:
    base.SetParent(baseEntity, 0u);
    and he has then this two Flags:
    Code:
    IsDeadIsSpectating

    But no real way to check for parents?

    Well, if you want to check if a player has someone spectating them, you'd check for their children. If you want to check if someone is spectating someone, you can either check IsSpectating (or something like that) if set, else check for their parent like suggested previously.
