Making a Flashlight on a Gun
Hey guys, I was wondering how do you make it so a certain light on a gun (script.Parent.Light.Light1) is enabled when you hit f, and disabled when you hit it again?
Also is it easy to just copy it if I wanted to make 2 lights in a gun?

You can copy this script, just change the key (Obviously...)
Equipped = false
on = false
light = script.Parent.PointLight
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function(Equipped)
Equipped = true
end)
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
local key = key:lower()
if Equipped and key == "f" and on == false then
light.Enabled = true
on = true
elseif Equipped and key =="f" and on == true then
light.Enabled = false
on = false
end
end)
--[[script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
light.Enabled = false
end)--]]
--The above is if you want it to auto-set the light off if they put away the tool

Does this script go inside the brick with the light, or do I copy it into the script that controls the gun's functions (so it's all one script)? Corogl 0 — 10y

Copy this into the gun script. Shawnyg 4330 — 10y

Adding this into the gun script and modifying it so the path to the light is correct does not seem to work. Corogl 0 — 10y

On the connection line, is the path correct? I just put script.Parent because I assumed that the script was a direct child of the tool. Shawnyg 4330 — 10y

The script IS a direct child, but you have that the pointlight is a part of the tool, which it isn't. It's in a block that's in the tool. I changed it to script.Parent.Light.Light1, with the name of the block being "Light" and the name of the light being "Light1." Corogl 0 — 10y

mouse=Game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse(); light=WHERE_TO_FIND_THE_LIGHT; mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) if key:lower()=='f' then light.Enabled=not light.Enabled; end; end);
