game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) -- function for when they join
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character) -- function for there characters path
Instance.new("SpotLight",character.Torso) -- inserts spotlight instance
character.Torso.SpotLight.Angle = 90
character.Torso.SpotLight.Range = 16
character.Torso.SpotLight.Color = Color3.new(255,255,255)
character.Torso.SpotLight.Brightness = 14
end)
end)
This will make all characters torso's a spotlight, you can change the numbers if ya like.

ummm, Player and Character added are events, not functions.

Ohhhhhh, my gawd. sorry :(
Just to add on the iNicklas' answer. If you want it to activate by pressing F, you can have a separate LocalScript in StarterPack and use the following script:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --You can access the LocalPlayer when using LocalScripts.
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait() --Either uses the player's character or waits until it is added.
local db = false --Debounce, used to add a delay to functions.
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputChanged:connect(function(input) --When the input from the player to the game is changed. E.G: Keystroke, button press, etc.
if db then return end --If db is true, stop the function.
db = true --Sets db to true so only the current function runs.
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then --If the F key is pressed.
local spot = char.Torso:FindFirstChild("SpotLight")
if spot == nil then return end
spot.Enabled = not spot.Enabled
wait(.5) --Waits for half a second, change .5 to something else if you want a longer/shorter wait time.
db = false --Re enables the F key function after the time has elapsed.
end
end)

I tried to put this on LocalScript and then put it on StarterPack, but it didn't work when I hit F

Do you have a SpotLight in the Torso already?

Do you want the flash light to be visible? Else you can just use a Spotlight.
