Additional Notes
- If you are spectating an entity and it moves outside the PVS you were in when you began spectating it, it will disappear. Whenever spectating an entity, be sure to set the player's movetype to MOVETYPE_OBSERVER.
- Make sure to strip the player's weapons before spectating, or they will be visible while in spectate.
