Thread By: Noah Gamerscore
So I'm creating a L4D2 map in Bo3 and right now its quite dark and hard to see. I was going to fix it but then I realized that in L4D2 there was a flashlight you can use while holding your weapon. I know its possible because I've played a map on the workshop that has a usable flashlight that can be turned on and off. If anyone can help me out with this, I would be so grateful! Thanks again in advance.

Thanks for the released. I also want to use the flashlight on my map, but I miss this error when I run my map.
Why this happens or what I need to add to make it work.
I put all the scripts in the place that they go correctly, I do not know what is wrong or what happens.

Image error help :(

Can somebody please post this as properly installed on a new maps .csc and .gsc files (as in the entire content of both files)? I have seriously spent like 3 hours trying to get this working, on 2 different occasions, and I think it is due to me being extremely dumb and repeatedly putting stuff in the wrong spot. Please someone save my hairs from all being pulled out, I would greatly appreciate it.
