flashlight is now a weapon, but you can "holster" it with active state.
this gives a noticable weaker light.
A weaker light, also a smaller light cone/angle.
smaller light radius, cone and angle stay the same, this results less strong light inside the cone.
its hard to describe, but after one week of testing this is what feeled perfect and naturally.
i also tested with light off if flashlight is not active but this "feeled" wrong by playing.
"felt"*
Hmm... you could use the flashlight as a weapon if it runs out of batteries. xD
i also was thinking about this, BUT:
imagine you have a flashlight in hands and you want to do a meleeknock out with but all what happens is: light :D
i'm not sure if this is to inconsistent / irritating.
or i have to ask first if a potential entity is in ~2m range and switch then to automatic melee mode :/
i actually have this implemented for empty weapons, and its working, but it feels not very common.
i also experiment with light strongness depending on batterie state and, if batterie is empty, a try to switch on, a short light impuls is given (this is actually the case, (its a bug)), but i'm thinking about letting this in, because this 1/10 second of light gives you the chance to navigate in total dark areas even if you dont have any other lightsource by emergency pressing fire :D
will see how the flashlight will develope. also i have a "weak" contact routine in mind, which lets randomly flicker the flashlight and play then a shake animation.
