GIve us a small video then please..
From start to end..
From Modeleditor -> ingame test..
Everyone says it is NOT possible, even Patrik PM's it to me..
Playerhands... wher do you get that name from?
I have the flashlight, so is that the same name then?
AND how does that function now how to flicker AND how fast to flicker??
Then we must turn 1 spotlight OFF and ACTIVATE the flicker one isn't it??
Your function dons't have a how fast flicker function...

It work in my mod)
Ok, I'm try to explain.

1. Setup your flashlight, like this:

Spoiler below!

2. Write the code. For example,

Code:
void flashlight_flicker(string &in asEntity)

{

SetLightFlickerActive("PlayerHands_SpotLight_3", true);

}

3. Test in game.

You are welcome! Smile

Heh, We can add more spotlights) Make it radius = 0, turn on via "FadeLightTo" and use Flicker function.
