it's script related, the flashlight and inventory worked perfectly. great job on the inventory by the way. so what do i do now? how can i get your script to work. i tried including it in my main, but i came up with errors. i guess i did something wrong again since i know your script works.

The problem can be about two things, or the template your using is giving problems, or you'r placing the functions and includes in the wrong way. Solving the template isn't easy, I recomment creating your own script. Anyway where do you have placed the include<flashlight.wdl>;, is it in the first lines of the first script? You could also place the include below the action with "player = me" in it. If this doesn't work, the problem is in the templates.

i placed it in my level script. its with the other includes. should i include it in my plbiped01 script?

i will be totally honest, i have no clue what to do next. i really need this flashlight script.thank you for all of your help. by the way, how did you get it to work without using a model?

I do use a model, look a this piece of code;

function flashlight()
{
IF (player.flash_light == on)
{
player.flash_light = off;
return;
}
ELSE
{
player.flash_light = on;
ent_create("flash.mdl",player.x,flash); //here I use a model, called flash.mdl
return;
}
}

on_l = flashlight; //this calls the flashlight function.

The flashlight function creates the flash.mdl and adds the flash function to it;

Maybe you could make a small demo of your project and send it to me, so I could see your code, maybe I can find out what the problem is.

You have not considered using a dynamic light as flashlight?

Hey Tindust what you mean by dynamic light, I thought that every light you scripted was a dynamic light.

let me ask? since the code works for your flash.mdl, how can i use it with my plbiped? can i add the script as an include with the model i am using? i am not sure how to compress files to send the demo to you, molotov. is there an alternative?

wait..that was a dumb question, you cant include that kind of script like that, in plbiped duh. sorry for the noob thought.

Yes, of course molotov, I was a bit unclear. What I meant was using a spotlight type dynamic light that is carried by the player. When turned on it sends a narrow cone of light from the player to wherever you aim it. It would work just like a real flashlight shining on everything within its range.

You could pick it up like before and aim it as before. Just thought I'd mention this alternative to the light wev'e been talking about here.

cheers
