mob
   verb
      Spy(mob/M) in world)
         usr.client.eye = M
      Stop_Spying()
         usr.client.eye = usr


this isn't the best method, especially since the screen will likely go black.. I'd recommend looking in the BYOND resources for better methods.

The screen goes black because you're failing to change client.perspective. If the perspective variable is set to MOB_PERSPECTIVE it'll only allow you to see things within view of your client's mob, if perspective is set to EYE_PERSPECTIVE it'll allow you to see anything your eye can see.

exactly, so add the perspective vars to the verbs in order for a fully working spy verb.
