Double Click Nick in scoreboard to spectate

[koragg]

So my idea's to make it possible for players to double click a player's nickname in the scoreboard and spectate him. That would avoid a lot of arrows spam left/right to find the player who you want to spectate, also it's faster than typing /spectate nick. But I'm not sure how to actually get nickname from the row I've double clicked so that it would use that into the /spectate command.

The following code is in the dxscoreboard_client.lua file. I wanna use the 'specNick' variable to save the player's name on which I've double clicked but not really sure how nor where to do it.

function scoreboardDoubleClick(button)
	local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()
	local rowsCount = math.floor(sy / 20) - 2
    if scoreboardShowing and button == "left" then
		local rCount = math.min(scoreboardGetSize(), rowsCount - 1)
		local x, y = sx / 2 - 320, sy / 2 - rCount * 20 / 2
		local cx, cy = getCursorPosition()
		cx = cx * sx
		cy = cy * sy
		if x <= cx and cx <= x + 640 and y <= cy and cy <= y + rCount * 20 then
			cy = cy - y
			cy = math.floor(cy / 20) + 1
			if isElement(specNick) then
				outputChatBox("Spectating "..specNick..".")
				executeCommandHandler("spectate", specNick)
			else
				outputChatBox("Player not found.")
			end
		end
    end
end

function startDrawing()
	addEventHandler("onClientDoubleClick", root, scoreboardDoubleClick)
	scoreboardShowing = true
end
bindKey("tab", "down", startDrawing)

function stopDrawing()
	removeEventHandler("onClientDoubleClick", root, scoreboardDoubleClick)
	showCursor(false)
	scoreboardShowing = false
end
bindKey("tab", "up", stopDrawing)

Fixed  'dxscoreboard_client.lua'

-- Double-Click nickname in scoreboard to spectate the selected player
local nickName = false
function scoreboardClick()
	for key, column in ipairs(scoreboardColumns) do
		if column.name == "name" then
			nickName = getPlayerNametagText(source)
		end
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerScoreboardClick", root, scoreboardClick)

function scoreboardDoubleClick()
	for key, column in ipairs(scoreboardColumns) do
		if column.name == "name" then
			local playerName = nickName
			if playerName then
				executeCommandHandler("spectate", playerName)
				outputChatBox("#FFFFFFSpectating: "..playerName, 255, 255, 255, true)
			end
		end
	end
end

function startDrawing()
	addEventHandler("onClientDoubleClick", root, scoreboardDoubleClick)
	scoreboardShowing = true
end
bindKey("tab", "down", startDrawing)

function stopDrawing()
	removeEventHandler("onClientDoubleClick", root, scoreboardDoubleClick)
	showCursor(false)
	scoreboardShowing = false
end
bindKey("tab", "up", stopDrawing)
