what are the npcs in the images?

Although it can only work if the weapon being switched to has a flashlight attachment, otherwise the flashlight will stay on. Still prevents more than one flashlight per-NPC though

@Lynch added support for your addon

@Jiyū to anzen Thanks! Great addon btw!

@Lynch Sure! I’ll add support.

Hello! I would like to suggest compatibility with my addon "Lynch's NPCs Essentials" and its Weapon Switching feature. When a Combine Soldier switches weapons, the flashlight from their previous weapon remains permanently on. I suggest making a change to the code to make the flashlight turn off if it detects that the NPC has switched active weapons. Thanks in advance.

fuck

"NPC Flashlights System" don't seem to interact with mods related to day and night.

This refers to "Atmos - Day/Night and Weather Modification" and "Day & Night System."

However, their performance in the map:
"SCP 3008 The not so infinite IKEA"
is quite impressive.

Aside from these minor flaws, this mod is arguably the best I've found.

Will try.

@Wallhammer That’s the env_projected_textures doing that. My code spawns engine entities which are not handled by my code after being spawned. You can try lowering shadow settings or tweaking projected texture convars- or you can just lower the max amount of flashlights allowed in the mod settings.

is it possible for you to add performance? for some reason with 3-4 npcs with flashlights on, the lights lag the hell out of my game. Will there be performance boosters to help, while also keeping it good?

Could you make a system so that you could use other attachments instead of only the "muzzle" one? So if a weapon were to have a "flashlight" attachment the light would use that instead of a muzzle, but if that attachment isn't available, then it would default to the "muzzle" attachment.

"FarZ" is how far the light casts and "NearZ" is where the light starts.

Hey. anyone here knows what does "FarZ" and "NearZ" does, I tried tweaking it and forgot the default values for it, I don't see any difference it makes so does this affect anything at all?

DR FREEMAN

is it possible to make arc9 weapons compatible? flashlights dont go away after picking up dropped arc9 weapons, and they seem to just float infront of the npc's pelvis

i like it

+rep nice job

i see a bright future for your modding skills, trust

It's not because of the mods. I just tried on a fresh install. I don't know what causes it. That said, it would be cool if this mod and the buddies mod worked together more reliably.

It might be conflicting with other mods. I have a "combat buddies" mod that spawns followers, and they spawn at the beginning of every map, and they, along with normal npcs don't always have working flashlights.

@Guyguyga Thanks for letting me know… weird, I’ve had no problems with it… but I’ll check it out when I can.

@Jiyū to anzen Well dang. Thanks for the info though. Taught me something new today. I wish I could give your addon multiple likes instead of just one.

Also, sometimes the flashlights don't work, especially when spawning into a new map, requiring me to use the admin "clean up" utility multiple times until the flashlights eventually work.

Is there any way to....perhaps increase the reliability of this addon? The combine flashlights addon turns on without fail. I don't know if the difference between your codes is significant , but perhaps it's worth checking out?

@Guyguyga The source engine won’t allow 180 and anything above that, same for anything 0 or under- it can’t be fixed.

Could you give the flashlight infinite fov? like 360 degrees for example?

Very awesome! Thank you for your contribution to the community! :) Great for realism <3

is there a way to force the npc to open flashlight?

possible to add a console command regarding a npc itself instead of a weapon?
I have some VJ base snpcs where the weapon itself isn't usable so i can't find it entity name
and i want them to have a flashlight....

@NeoRed Gamer07 That is planned for the next update.

you should consider making a spawn menu tab for easier setting changes
(if there is already one i cannot find/see it)

i have no idea what your next idea is, but if its another banger i will subscribe to it as well

Great

@An_Unkown_Player[FIN] That is planned in the next update, yes.

Could add a flashlight brightness command?

@Hex It's E3 2002 Combine Soldiers

hey what are those npcs on screenshots

Map used is gm_exordium

whats the map on the gif is it just one of the hl2 maps

There's no way this isn't

This gigachad managed to be in the MOST popular addons 3 times at the same time LOL
BASED you must be doing something right

This is honestly a great addon.
If you want a lighter weight, closer to source engine combine flashlight then go with this. It's very good for what it aims to do

If you want a more "cinematic" flashlight go with Zelektra's combine flashlight mod.

Or be like me, get both and toggle between them whenever you feel like it.

You know, this is a great idea, I might mess with this right now...

make an option to make it head-mounted like the other

this is cool as hell

amazing mod

this one is a lot more Source Engine style than the other one.
