when used in multiplayer it seems like it gets rid of flashlights entirely for clients that AREN'T the server owner and this error log would show up in their console

@NyanCatGamer02 Noted. Seems like I forgot to change the convar

@Enviyon That's supposed to be the default behavior of the flashlight, but it depends on the player-model, some can be done right and some can be bugged so the flashlight is at your feet

@Dr. Doodle >:) There was. But it was kinda unintuitive went against the idea of making the flashlight always come from the player's POV

@Topher2009 Noted. I'll try to fix it (I'll see if I can get help from some friends to test it out in multiplayer)

this is really cool cause i've always had kind of a problem with how dim the gmod flashlight is and i really like this cause it makes it brighter.

The name of the map in the video?

mod no longer works in multiplayer

Coulda sworn there was an option where you could customize where the light beam shines from...

downgrade

I liked it when I could put a flashlight on my left hand or on my right hand

besides, there are a lot less settings than i remember, it's hard to fully customize it now

Unknown command: cl_betterflashlight_local_player_always_firstperson (x6)

This pops up in the console everytime I change the "Only allow shadows for local-player"

Thank you for making a way much better flashlight :)

Ulib seems to be conflicting with this addon on multiplayer

dunno what it's about, hopefully you can make heads or tails of it

It took an entire day for steam to check it's not malicious stuff, wow. Anyways there u go

nice

And also keep in mind the main difference of the addon is to show the flashlight from the player's actual POV, and not their playermodel hand/head

@Annex I tried to solve this by making the flashlight shadows start further away from the actual flashlight position if there was enough space, it worked fine with the playermodels I tested but every playermodel is different so I'll make it adjustable instead

I'm also reworking, adding and fixing other stuff

Good news! I think I have finally found a fix for the "flickering"

@GermanPlasma I don't really play TTT2 but maybe they overwrite the flashlights behavior in some way?

I'll revisit this and see if I add/fix stuff, thx y'all for commenting tho

flashlight fov setting needed

can you add the flashlioght fov to make it big or small

Can this be made compatible with TFA? If a TFA weapon has flashlight attachment, whenever you turn it on you can't turn your flashlight off, not even the sound plays

broken on some of the player models, it shows their sillouhette really dark contrasted behind the light (also looks buggy with TacRP Weapons mod.)

Flashlight does not seem to activate at all in TTT2. Have to set sv_flashlight_override_default to 0 to get the old flashlight back, at 1 it just doesn't do anything sadly.

Flashlight stays ON when you die. Is that intended?

Okay, after a decent while since I last used this, it seems it does work better than I remember. However, the light still for some reason flickers when near bodies of water. Not entirely sure why because I did even try turning down water reflections down to simple in the case it was something related to that.

Well, for some people like me a compatibility with that feature would be great!

I thought that was a hated feature

Good addon, but it is incompatible with flashlight's battery addons light AUX Power or even the default flashlight power

@Arcius It's supposed to be similar to the default flashlight, but I guess I can add it

@Talon weird. I had that same issue, I fixed it so I can't replicate it anymore

I don't know why but this flickers A LOT when moving and looking around.

brightness

is these any way to change the flashlight brigness, distence and fov?

Literally the perfect flashlight addon now, and infinitely better than the ancient Third Person Flashlight.

@Xenokiller09 there you go

It interferes with every car addon that uses headlights binded to F, and I'm sure nobody likes seeing a glow/beam of light clipping through a car since it turns on every time you want to just use the car headlights.

Why would you want that?

Could there be an option to completely disable being able to turn on flashlights in vehicles?

does this work with multiplayer??

@[IJWTB] text Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ my bad g

One of those Source is eternal addons

Finally 3rd person flashlight is not a mystical entity anymore
