new flashlight with a natural restoration of power while not in use and a GUI/HUD instead of text display.
(i will keep the old one just because some of you may prefer it)
p.s. the battery script is the same but i will include it just so you don't need to look in 2 places if you don't already have it.
edit* sorry my last update broke the script so hopefully it will be fixed now - note you DO need the new battery script too*

same set up the previous - set the entity with the flashlight.lua as always active = yes
and name any batteries to the number of seconds 1% of power lasts for.
images attached or make your own, default placement is "scriptbank\images\flashlight" but you can modify in the script.
