One stumbling block is that I don't know how to make one that acts independently of the weapons. With this one, I can bind a key to it and the key runs the flashlight regardless of which weapon is selected or whether I'm firing or not. (I have it bound so that I have to hold the flashlight button to keep it on rather than toggling it on/off so I can't just leave it on all the time).
The other thing is that, actually, I simply haven't found a modern flashlight implementation that I like. Dodopod's one is pretty good but when I tried modifying it to work in the same way as I used LWM's one, i just got horribly lost and it didn't look that much better to me anyway.
A simple, clean modern version would, of course, be preferable but it would need to be activated in the same way, would need to illuminate things just as well (IMO of course).
However, the merits of the different types of lights aside, I can't figure out why this isn't working. The actors are spawning, but the lights are not showing. Other actors spawn with lights just fine so I'm not sure what the difference is.
