@RedSpice!
I've never thought about adding a feature like that...
Usually, this would lag on servers, so; maybe play on multiplayer and see if that is good enough?
I hope you figure out a way that works for you. :steamthumbsup::steamhappy:

@Bolero
I do understand that, however, this does have inf distance, and a custom range setting, so this should actually be perfect for visibility? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bolero 29 Nov, 2024 @ 2:29pm 
honestly i only use it because it feels good to use, but if you want actual visibility then this is not for you.

@Hooski
But, with the ConVars it can be made good, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

its good if your trying to remake HL1 but its just terrible

@CreeperSammyB
It does works just fine on Half Life 1 maps however, you can also raise the range value for it to work better on other maps, but yea I totally get what you mean lol.
SamThePlagueDoctor 2 Nov, 2024 @ 10:27am 
i understand the nostalgia aspect but why would anybody actually WANT to use the HL1 flashlight?

You can barely use it properly 99% of the time!

@Shark Cat
Glad to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

Wow... It for sure feels like I hopped in a time machine and went back to the 1999

this light was also used for the hl2 betas

@Hiv
For simplicity, I will keep it as a dynamic light entity, but I appreciate the help!
Also, you can change the size of the light using the ConVar: Half_life_1_Flashlight_Range.

actually would it be possible to make it so it projects a texture to where its pointed? like a gradient texture? If you want I could help make some!
hurter 10 Jul, 2024 @ 4:51am 
Can you make it so it can be bigger or smaller? Very cool addon!
Dishings  [author] 21 Jun, 2024 @ 4:31pm 
@SRTENAZ
I made this myself, however I used Half Life 1 to test stuff to make it as accurate as possible.
Dishings  [author] 21 Jun, 2024 @ 4:30pm 
@TheDesertRoad
Yes, that is normal.
Whats happening is: The flashlight gets detected and is replaced with the Half Life 1 flashlight.
TheDesertRoad 17 Jun, 2024 @ 4:41pm 
Is it normal that for a micro-second the HL2 normal flashlight appears?

I was gonna say that r_newflashlight 0 defeats the purpose of this but reading the description proved me wrong

@C++
Yes that is true, however this addon is more accurate and feature rich.
NextKurome76TheSoldier 10 Mar, 2024 @ 3:32am 
rich hmmm
C++ 10 Mar, 2024 @ 1:33am 
Its "r_newflashlight 0" if im correct
C++ 10 Mar, 2024 @ 1:21am 
You could just enable it with the console
Dishings  [author] 9 Mar, 2024 @ 11:16pm 
@roi
I agree, I think it's more fun too.
roi 9 Mar, 2024 @ 11:09pm 
ive said this on another addon like this but ill say it again, i think the hl1 flashlight's better than the one in hl2:Pizza:
Vale the protogen 9 Mar, 2024 @ 10:53pm

A-6-hawk 9 Mar, 2024 @ 10:46pm 
why would you do this
Dishings  [author] 9 Mar, 2024 @ 9:50pm 
@wolfee0507
The maps are Half Life maps, if you have Half Life installed on steam, you can add it to Garry's Mod.
Nakkitsunami 9 Mar, 2024 @ 8:17pm 
it's got that avp classic 2000 feel as well
