Updated to version 1.0.1. Changes:

• The raycast used to shine a light now masks a more limited set of types - this fixes the light being stopped by non-raycasting bricks.

The thing I noticed when I tried this was the light had problems rendering past bricks that I had set as invisible, collideless, and raycastless. I don't think this happened when I tried Marble Man's flashlight

If there's some way to fix that, then this item would be perfect

Oh yeah, it's because the raycast to figure out where you're looking searches for $TypeMasks::All, which includes non-raycasting bricks. I'll push out an update to make the search more specific in a bit.

I just need a pistol with a flashlight mounted that can be activated by holding or toggling right click. That way you can shoot and use the pistol at the same time.

Add me on Steam or through XMPP and I'll make a solution for you specifically for that pistol.

You can do this with Chrono's "SetLight" events. They allow you to control whether or not a player is allowed to use their light. Don't confuse it with his "changelight" event, though.

Err, why would that work? This almost completely overwrites the normal light function.

-Toggleable player-source light? Maybe it'd be nice if we could toggle whether or not players emit a light around themselves in addition to the flashlight 'beam' itself, since right now players always emit a light along with the beam.

Actually, due to a bug with the TGE engine, the light around the flashlight is only visible to the host. Should probably state that somewhere - er, well no, since it's not really advertised as a feature anyway.

-Glow FX on the flashlight lens? Might make it seem a bit more obvious where players are when using the flashlight.

I'll see what I can do about it.

i wish there was a way to bind this to a single team on slayer

What would a good way of doing this be?

Would be cool to put that on vehicle's headlights

Definitely possible, I should try that sometime.

...why not an item?

Because this is meant as a replacement for the light that is available all the time.

fxLight.reset();

Thanks a ton for that. I'm sure I would have found it if I looked through an object dump but I didn't have time for that yesterday, where I needed it for something.

well if server-sided add-ons also count, I made one that works perfectly in v21, named Placecam or something like that Control Player

No, the Blockland version on steam will be NO DIFFERENT than the version already out.
Blockland does not and will not have steam overlay support.

Is there a way that we could make playertypes like this one so if the ramp was too steep you couldnt stand on it?

Not sure. You could always do it manually via a script though.
