Simple Flashlight

[Jason Campbell]

Here is a very simple flashlight that uses the weapons fire light as a flashlight.

Some of it was from a few different posts from the old forum.

Some obvious problems are that the flash of light from your weapon is disabled while the flashlight is on. The AI Turret doesn't have light.

Really just a starting point but thought it might be useful.

lightRadius is equal to "range" so change that for distance of beam.

No problem, it does leave a bit to be desired. It was your night screenshots that made me think of posting this. It was just sitting there in my last project.
