Flashlight

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this has been suggested before or if I am in the right section (I hope I am), but recently I have been looking at guns with flashlights and it made me think why don't we have the option to use a flashlight by itself...for those times you get false calls to locations and you want to scope out the area without always having to pull your gun out to see on those night patrols or checking a pedestrians I.D on the streets and instead of scaring him off by putting a gun in his face you can use a flashlight.

In the earlier versions of LCPDFR, 0.95 RC2 that I know of specifically, there was a flashlight included. You pressed, F I think, and the area around your feet lit up. I think they got rid of it because it never worked properly. WHen you would aim, I think the area around your feet stayed illuminated, not where your gun was pointed.

Ah yeah I just got into this recently and I noticed majority of ped models have flashlights on their belts and I just never understood why it wasn't usable like the taser

I think there is/are flashlight mod(s) out there. I'm not 100% sure though, you'd have to look. If not, it would be cool to have one. I know there is a spotlight mod for you police car at least.

The taser on modded ped belts *isn't* usable. LCPDFR added a taser model where none existed before, and *that* is usable, but it isn't actually part of the ped model - it's a separate object, attached to the ped's midsection, which is removed when you draw it (at which point IV makes one appear in your ped's hand) and replaced when you put it away. In contrast, flashlights on ped belts are modeled in, and can't be moved. It also doesn't mesh well with IV's optimized-for-guns holding animations.

Ah I understand now and also if anything it could maybe be put in the Pool Stick slot, but even then its not going to look correct so I see your point thank you for clearing that up

I looked and the most I could find was weapon flashlights which is the probably the best option but it would be cool to have one.

You could probably make a gun or something, maybe replace the UZI with a flashlight model, and change it so bullets dont fire, but when you left click a light beam comes out.

I like it...it helps with not being lethal all the time

Depending on how you make it, the peds around the area will still run away the second you start holding down LMB.

Most likely put it in a melee slot, since peds don't run when you hold or attack (LMB) with a melee weapon.

Would take quite a effort to get it working decently tho (I believe).

If my post made you laugh (or giggle) in any way, smash that blue grey "Like this" button & like it :smile:

If there was an animation for a flashlight, it could be changed to match. However, all weapon animations use 2 hands except the knife, but the angle isn't right for a flashlight.

Sticks and stones may break bones, but 5.56 fragments on impact.

SNT?

 

Simple Native Trainer.

I thought it had a flashlight. I may be mistaken. I've seen it in a couple videos. May be an additional mod.

I also tried to find a flashlight mod. No luck so far.

Oh and I never checked and I looked I found nothing but weapons with flashlights I will see if there is a script for it but I doubt it.

Look at this video here

You'll see the flashlight within the first like 5 minutes I think. It's the only one that looks realistic but I'm not sure if it's a trainer or a script.

That is part of the weapon, actually hardcoded/modeled with that specific weapon model. What is being suggested is a non-weapon mounted flashlight. And I have suggested this in the past but to no avail, really hope that fate isn't repeated for this request. I would be satisfied if w/ a simple script w/ no weapon visible, just a model that slightly resembles a flashlight and a beam of light that can be manipulated to be pointed in a general direction.

*interlaces fingers and looks to sky, hoping someone w/ modeling/scripting experience takes this on(: *
