The lightOn/lightOff action allows a vehicle's headlights to be turned on and off from a script. It would be nice if this action was also able to turn on/off a flashlight or IR pointer attached to the player's weapon. E.g.
gameLogic action ["lightOn", player]; // turn on flashlight / IR pointer
In my case I need it to restore the state of the flashlight after replacing the weapon with a removeWeapon/addWeapon sequence (which currently results in the flashlight being turned off).
i dont think this is a good idea, people will spent more time searching with the mouse for the action and pressing enter than just pressing a button
@Dr Death
I'm not talking about removing the keyboard binding for flashlight. What I'm suggesting is extending the already existing lightOn/lightOff action so it also can be used to turn on and off flashlight/ir pointer.
Currently, it only works for turning the headlights of vehicles on and off (there is no way to toggle the state of flashlight/ir pointer from a script).
i dont think its a good idea, yes, its something new, not a removal or a change, but i think people will accidentally press on "turn IR laser on" and in a nightime MP session that's most likely a suicide.
No, it won't show up as an action in the action list. This is only a script enhancement. Sorry, if that wasn't clear.
i am sorry, i still dont get it, what do you mean with script enhacement? do you want a better flashlight? or you want the binded button to "lightson/off" to work also in IR lasers?
