Making a flashlight

Questions & Answers
1

In my project I’m trying to make a flashlight but am stuck. I figured it would be connecting a point light to a object similar to making a gun, but am stuck on getting the flashlight to turn on and off. I want it to turn on/off with the left mouse button, but don’t know how to. Can anyone help with this?

There are loads of stuff addressing how to turn stuff on/off the only thing you’ll have to do is search.

Place this script on your flashlight (assuming, of course, that you have your light component attached to that object):

var flashlight : Light;

function Start () {

	flashlight = GetComponent("Light");
	
}

function Update () {

	if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
		if (flashlight.enabled) {
			flashlight.enabled = false;
		} else {
			flashlight.enabled = true;
		}
	}
}

Hope that helps! Klep
