"Flashlight" for using weapons

[Wolfie]

Ok, you know advanced light? Well, I was thinking if someone made a cone light like a flashlight and made it on your right hand (not fully necessary) and ambient, it would look like a flashlight, so you could set a light up from your gun. Is this possible?

Use the default light.

[Wolfie]

What I'm saying is that it should project the light, like the Flashlight item. The default light is like a lamp.

It's hard (if possible, I don't know how myself) to make a light datablock only shine in a set direction by script. The only existing method people have used is a repeated raycast to make short-lived light emitting projectiles appear, but that looks bad if you swing the light quickly or in lag.

Use the default light.

You both are idiots. Why not just go into every weapon request and say "Use default guns" or every game mode topic and say "Use default gamemodes".

And it flashes a lot which give me a headache.

The default light is perfectly fine. If you used the search button, you would find that someone already made this, but it kinda sucks.

That's completely opinionated.

That wasn't the point of my post. I personally am fine with the default light as well. But if the Suggestions and Requests board was meant for people to just come in and say to use default things then their would be no point of the board at all.

I'm working on one won't be released for awhile tho...

The whole point is a light that can be used via your hand, while using an item.

Someone basicly already made this but you have to type ANOTHER anoying command in to use it. What would be very easy and awsome is to have a flashlight weapon, equip it (which would be on the default light hand) then you'd press the light button (usually L) and it'd turn on. So all it would be is a flashlight model that goes onto your light hand and is a weapon. It'd also need to have the front part open for the light.

I have to agree with Destroyer here. There DOES need to be a new Flashlight, and this might be pretty cool, all and all.

And no, the default light does not work well in some instances. And the current Flashlight works well until a brick is placed, at which point it flashes the farther away you point, and eventually ceases to work at all.

I'm NOT looking for a new flashlight! I'm looking for a light like the Flashlight item that can be used with Advanced Light, while using a weapon!

A flashlight like in games from Valve.

EXACTLY!
