I know that currently the Flashlight is Hard-Coded into in Engine. (Please add some Options so we can change the Range, Lens and et.) However I was wondering if you can make the Flashlight turn on as soon as the game starts? I also wanted to know if you can play a Sound file every-time you press the Flashlight Key, Is it even Possible?

I don't believe there is a way even by scripting, as flashlight is not an entity we can control it's all hard-coded in. You can only toggle on or off with 'F' key unless anyone knows different.

Feature option will be added in the voting order of the results after the core performance.
It is a majority vote, and that is the order of the new feature when they are started.

the sound is possible but that's about it for now

if GetInKey() == "f" then
PlaySound(e,0)
end

Thank you all!

Edit: Sorted it out thanks, But I have an Issue when Walking and then Pressing (F) the Sound does not play as the Walking sound is already Playing. Is there anyway round that issue at all?

Edit: 2: I can't seem to figure out how to play the sound while walking, Does anyone know why that is?
