Here are 2 simple scripts to disable the use of the Flashlight until you found and collect one.

flashlight_collect.lua : set this script to a flashlight entity (you can find one in FPSC Sci-Fi pack converted to GG by Teabone :http://freetoronto.org/gameguru/

has_flashlight.lua : set this script to any entity and set its properties as follows : Static Mode NO

And that's it.... Pressing F Key will have no effect until you collect a flashlight

Nice scripts.

I did something similar a while back, SmallG had made a script to make the torch drain and have collectable batteries for the flashlight, and someone requested a collectable flashlight script, so I made one, then decided to work it into SmallG's scripts to make a more complete setc, you can find it at:

1. put flashlight3.lua on a not static item (make it always active).
2. put collect_flashlight2.lua on the item you want to collect (make sure it's not static).
3. flashlight_battery.lua goes on the batteries,(make sure the battery is not static).

Job done, it will supress the flashlight until you collect the item.

Press F to use the flashlight once you have collected it, and hold press and hold F to load a battery."

Hi Belidos,

sounds very nice and much more realistic than mine (i'm very new in LUA scripting and my flashlight collect script is just a small modifications of default key script).
i will test them right now

Always good to see someone learning lua, I have to admit i'm not very good at it myself, but i'm really glad I decided to learn by jumping in and learning by editing existing scripts, it was a lot easier than trying to understand lua manuals etc

Keep it up, you're doing great so far
