What it does?
 
It simply add a bit more light to your surrounding so flashlights are more effective then they are by default.
 
Screenshot:

How it works:
 
This Scripts is completly local and is not visible by other players, since the light of the flashlight should be enough attraction for them.
 
How to install
 
You need to make changes in:
 
init.sqf
variables.sqf
compiles.sqf
dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf
 
first we make our new file called: flashlight.sqf
 
and paste this in there and place it somewhere you like:

/**
Schwedes Flashlight improvement
**/

Private ["_num","_light","_type"];
_type = _this select 0;


switch (_type) do {
		case 0: {
			_light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal (getPosATL player);
			_light setLightBrightness 0.01;
			systemChat format['currentWeapon player: %1',(currentWeapon player)];
			if ((currentWeapon player) == "MeleeFlashlightRed") then {
			_light setLightColor [0.5,0,0];
			_light setLightAmbient [0.2,0.01,0.01];
			} else {
			_light setLightAmbient[.9, .9, .6];
			_light setLightColor[.9, .9, .6];
			};
			_light lightAttachObject [player, [0.1,2,0.5]];
		};
		case 1: {
					player action ["GunLightOff", player];
					_light = nearestObject [player, "#lightpoint"];
					deleteVehicle _light;
					Schwede_flashlicht = false;
		};
	};

Next we create another file called and place it somewhere you like: lightcheck.sqf
 
and paste this in there:

/**
Schwedes Flashlight improvement
Light Check
**/
Private ["_light"];

	waitUntil {!isNull (findDisplay 46)}; //making sure player is spawned
		while {true} do {
			
			waitUntil {Schwede_flashlicht};
			if !((currentWeapon player) in Schwede_FlashlightWeapons) then {
			
					player action ["GunLightOff", player];
					_light = nearestObject [player, "#lightpoint"];
					deleteVehicle _light;
					Schwede_flashlicht = false;

			};
			sleep 0.1;
		};

Time to make this thing to work:
 
variables.sqf:

 

search for

// DayZ Epoch Client only variables

and add right after:
 

	if(isNil "Schwedes_flashlicht") then {
		Schwedes_flashlicht = false;
	};

search for 

if(!isDedicated) then {

and place this somewhere in this area:
 

Schwede_FlashlightWeapons = ["M4A3_CCO_EP1","SCAR_L_CQC_Holo","SCAR_H_CQC_CCO","MeleeFlashlight","MeleeFlashlightRed"]; //This array wants to be filled with weapons with flashlights

compiles.sqf
 
 
 
add this



Schwedes_flashlight = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "PathTo\flashlight.sqf";

to the if(!isDedicated) then { area
 
dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf
 
place this somewhere in it:

//flashlight
if (_dikCode in actionKeys "Headlights" && ((currentWeapon player) in Schwede_FlashlightWeapons) && ((vehicle player) == player)) then {
	if (Schwedes_flashlicht) then {
			Schwedes_flashlicht= false;
			_id = [1] spawn Schwedes_flashlight;
		} else {
			Schwedes_flashlicht= true;
			_id = [0] spawn Schwedes_flashlight;
		};
};

init.sqf
 
add this
 




[] execVM "PathTo\lightcheck.sqf";

to the if(!isDedicated) then { area
 
Save everything and load up everything.
 
 
Suggestions? Post them here

I don't get this:

//flashlight
if (_dikCode in actionKeys "Headlights" && ((currentWeapon player) in Schwede_FlashlightWeapons) && ((vehicle player) == player)) then {
	if (Schwedes_flashlicht) then {
			Schwedes_flashlicht= false;
			_id = [1] spawn Schwedes_flashlight;
		} else {
			Schwedes_flashlicht= true;
			_id = [0] spawn Schwedes_flashlight;
		};
};

If schwedes licht is true, then... Where do you define Schwedes Licht, so that script knows if that's true or not?

Post #1 updated

	if(isNil "Schwedes_flashlicht") then {

Noch was (sorry, will deine Arbeit nicht schlecht machen):

_id = [0] spawn Schwedes_flashlight;

 

Schwede_flashlight = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "PathTo\flashlight.sqf";

 

 

Die Function die du aufrufen willst existiert nicht, weil du ein "S" vergessen hast :)

Client RPT Errors:

File mpmissions\__CUR_MP.Napf\custom\flashlight\lightcheck.sqf, line 6
Error in expression <ay 46)}; 
while {true} do {

waitUntil {Schwede_flashlicht};
if !((currentWeapon>
  Error position: <Schwede_flashlicht};
if !((currentWeapon>
  Error Undefined variable in expression: schwede_flashlicht
File mpmissions\__CUR_MP.Napf\custom\flashlight\lightcheck.sqf, line 6

To fix this error add second variable (near first) in variables.sqf.It looks like this:

if(isNil "Schwedes_flashlicht") then {
        Schwedes_flashlicht = false;
    };
    if(isNil "schwede_flashlicht") then {
        schwede_flashlicht = false;
    };

Should this work fine with Overpoch? Seems like I had it working on Epoch then changed my client server to overpoch and it doesn't work anymore.

 

There's no reason this shouldn't work on Overpoch. Double check to be sure that you didn't replace any of the files required for this script with the same files when installing Overpoch.

Just installed this script and I found a bug. If you have your flashlight on and you switch weapons, there's still an ambient glow, which is basically the effect that this script adds to the flashlight to make it brighter. See these screenshots for a better explanation.

 

 

Flashlight turned on. You see the ambient light effect here.

Flashlight left on, switched weapons. You still see the ambient light.

Flashlight turned off, no ambient light.

Switched to weapon, after flashlight was turned off, still no ambient light.

Ok, figured out what was causing the problem with the flashlight not working. I installed Advanced Alchemical Crafting v3.3 and the Crafting_Compiles was conflicting with the dayz_spaceinterrupt. i used diffmerge to merge the two and now it works fine.

 

I need to find out how to make the "F" key make the object stay still though for Advanced Alchemical Crafting v3.3. Haven't checked the forums yet, but if anyone can save me some time I would appreciate it. ;-)

 

Thanks for making me take another look BetterDeadThanZed. Appreciate it!!
