Source Apex Legends — Working Spectator Check & Observer List Logic

[byte_corvus]

Sick of getting clapped by a manual ban because you didn't realize half the lobby was watching your 'insane' recoil control? Most public bases have broken spectator lists lately. Here is a solid implementation that actually works, including tracking teammates who are following your POV.

The Logic
This isn't just a simple boolean check. You are pulling the observer list and iterating through the player indices to see whose specIndex matches your localPlayer. It is a standard iteration over the player array, but you need to handle the bitwise shifts correctly to resolve the entity pointers.

int CountSpectators(uintptr_t localPlayer)
{
    if (!localPlayer)
        return 0;

    int spectators = 0;
    const int maxPlayers = 61;

    // Актуальный оффсет observerList
    auto observerList = read<uintptr_t>(YOUR_BASE_ADDRESS + 0x6284DB8);
    if (!observerList)
        return 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < maxPlayers; ++i)
    {
        auto entity = GetEntityBase(i);
        if (!entity)
            continue;

        int playerIndex = read<int>(entity + 0x38);
        int specIndex   = read<int>(observerList + playerIndex * 8 + 0x954);

        // Получаем сущность спектатора через EntityList
        auto specEntity = read<uintptr_t>(YOUR_BASE_ADDRESS + dwEntityList + ((specIndex & 0xFFFF) << 5));

        if (specEntity == localPlayer)
            spectators++;
    }

    return spectators;
}

Spoiler: Technical Breakdown

1. The offset 0x6284DB8 is the current base for the observer list. If you get zeros, check if this has shifted after the last mini-patch.
2. The shift << 5 is mandatory for the entity list structure in this engine fork.
3. Performance Tip: Don't call this every single frame if you're running external. Use a throttled loop (every 500ms-1s) to avoid unnecessary RPM overhead.

This method has been tested and confirmed to catch teammates as well. It's a must-have for anyone trying to play legit-style in high-tier lobbies.
