The stock "torches" don't really do anything. Search for s4real's flashlight in the FPSC models and media board.

EDIT:Nevermind, here it is.

s4real and smitho have both made flashlights for FPSC.The ones that come with FPSC that you are referring to are item pickups that,by default,do nothing but make a nifty little sound and weigh you down a little bit (you can assign various scripts to them to make it a key,health,etc.).

Please have mercy and use the search function.

You can actually assign s4reals' flashlight script to the pickup, so that it comes on when you pick it up.

Best.

How so, xplosys? I've been trying to get that to work, with no luck.

Note: Always back up anything before you change it.

Download and install Smitho's flashlight.
At the bottom of either (or both) of the stock torch .fpe files you want to put this line...

isweapon = smithos\Torch

or replace the current one if it is there.
When you place the torch in your level just walk up to it like any other pickup.You'll pick it up and there will be your flashlight in your hand just like any other weapon.

With s4reals previous instructions and everything installed in it's proper place, put the torch in the level and give it the following script: (you will need to have a dynamic light in the level but it doesn't need the flashlight.fpi script)

...many thanks, gents! I appreciate the information.

EDIT: Just an update for anyone else, who might be following this thread.

Actually, the light does need to be assigned the flash.fpi or flash2.fpi script, if you want to be able to toggle the flashlight on & off.

True, but if you do that, you will have a flashlight before you actually pick it up. LOL

...good point.

The player wouldn't know that though, especially if the flashlight is discovered in a quasi-light area, prior to being needed. There'd be no reason to play with the F key, yet.

FPSC ain't a perfect tool, to be sure. (LOL)

Some people might play around with the keys just to see what happens...that is one thing that can be difficult to handle when developing a game.It is nearly impossible to anticipate the actions of every single person who might play your game.

...give it to them early. Give it to them late. It would cut drastically down on the temptation for experimentation.

I'd rather have someone accidently make a discovery (they'd just chalk it up to a bug) than force them to have that flashlight on for entire level.
