FlashLight Fixes Please??

Questions & Answers
1

I have a working flashlight script that drains out the energy of my flashlight and turns it off, I want to fix some things, any suggestions will help a lot:):slight_smile:

  1. When the power of the flashlight goes out, i can still press f and hear the sound of the button to turn the flashlight on/of… How do i disable it until my flashlight has energy again??

2)I have another Script to pick up a flashlight object that i made by going through the object, the script goes attached to the player and the object must have a “FlashLight” tag. I would like that when i pick up this item, just then the first script gets activated, so then i can press “f” to turn the flashlight on and start draining it’s batteries

3)I would prefer to pick the flashlight up by pressing “e” near it…:slight_smile:

Thats all, If anyone can help me in any of the 3 problems it will mean a lot:)

The FlashlightPickUp Script(attached to the player):

private var hit : RaycastHit;
private var rayDistance : float;
private var contactPoint : Vector3;
var PickupSound: AudioClip;
	
function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {     
    if (other.CompareTag ("Flashlight")) { 
	   audio.PlayOneShot(PickupSound);    
	   Destroy(other.gameObject);               
	} 
}

The FlashLight Script, wich drains energy and can be turned on/off with “f” key:

var lightSource : Light; //Connect the light source in the Inspector
var shootSound:AudioClip;
static var energy : float = 100; //The energy amount of the flashlight
static var turnedOn : boolean = false; //Boolean to check whether it's turned on or off
private var drainSpeed : float = 9.0; //The speed that the energy is drained
 lightSource.enabled = false; 
function Update () {
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F)) ToggleFlashlight();
        
}
 
//When the player press F we toggle the flashlight on and off
function ToggleFlashlight () {
    turnedOn=!turnedOn;
      audio.PlayOneShot(shootSound);
    if (turnedOn && energy>0) {
       TurnOnAndDrainEnergy();
    } else {
       lightSource.enabled = false;
     
    }
}
 
//When the flashlight is turned on we enter a while loop which drains the energy
function TurnOnAndDrainEnergy () {
    lightSource.enabled = true;
    while (turnedOn && energy>0) {
       energy -= drainSpeed*Time.deltaTime;
       yield;
    }
    lightSource.enabled = false;
//I tried here with----->   shootSound.enable = false;     ,it didn't work
}
 
//This is called from outside the script to alter the amount of energy
static function AlterEnergy (amount : int) {
    energy = Mathf.Clamp(energy+amount, 0, 100);
}

If you want to make your flashlight work only if it has energy:

function ToggleFlashlight () {
   if(energy>1){
       turnedOn=!turnedOn;
      audio.PlayOneShot(shootSound);
    if (turnedOn && energy>0) {
       TurnOnAndDrainEnergy();
    } else {
       lightSource.enabled = false;
    }
    }
}
