Spycam

Spycam is a signature ability for Cypher.
==Description==
Spycam is an Intel ability that Cypher has to equip before casting. Once equipped, his crosshair will be replaced with an indicator for placing a spycam. This will turn blue if it is placed on a viable position to be cast in, and will turn red for unviable positions. A viable position must be a wall with enough verticality, though the camera cannot be placed over a certain height above the altitude level Cypher is situated at on cast. Cypher must also be within a certain distance of the target location to cast the ability. Upon casting, the spycam will travel to the location and briefly deploy, turning invisible once this process is complete. The camera can be recalled but will go on a short cooldown before it can be redeployed.
Once deployed, Cypher can use the ability to take control of the camera, causing it to reveal itself. His body will remain still in a channeling position while using the camera, leaving himself vulnerable to enemy gunfire and utility. The camera provides vision of anything in front of it and can be rotated within the range of a hemisphere. If an enemy is sighted through the spycam, they will be alerted with looping audio for the duration that they are actively being watched by Cypher from within the Spycam. Whenever re-used, the camera will always be looking the direction Cypher was previously looking in when he unequipped the ability. If Cypher's body takes damage while he is in control of Spycam, the ability will be unequipped.
While using Spycam, Cypher can aim at enemy agents and fire to shoot marking darts at them. If a dart hits an enemy it will embed itself into them, periodically revealing their location with still image sihouettes. To end this effect, the victim must channel for a few seconds to remove the dart.
Enemies can deal damage to the camera and destroy it, though Cypher and his team will be alerted if the camera is destroyed.
If Cypher is killed or suppressed, the spycam will deactivate and reveal its position.
