Abot the mod

----This mod is a work in progress---

This mod was made for my Roman and Medieval prop pack mod, but i thought i would add this as a single mod for the people that didn't want the whole prop pack.
I have been playing around with the idea for about a year now,
The model took 30 min to make and texture, but the script and how it was all going to work took me all weekend as i can't script that great.
This mod will be added to my Roman and Medieval prop pack as well.

FIX FOR NOW
Unfortunately the isFlashlightOn command was the issue. It still works the same for the player but not for AI,i had to modify the script so now AI just has to have the weapon called Fire Torch
and the script will keep there flashlight on all the time .For the player you still need to have the cotton rags and pressing L to turn on and off.Any fire torch the player picks up will turn on and off.
i am still trying to find away for ai to turn on and off the torch.

How To use
The fire torch is just a piece of wood and you need the cotten rags to make it work

For the player to use the fire torch you need the Pistol called Fire Torch and add cotten rags from edit loadout - rail attachments
by pressing L you can turn the fire torch on and off just like the flashlight.

Issues
The only way i could get this to work was to add the cotten rags as rail attachments to the pistol and use isFlashlightOn command in the script ,
As i could not get the flame to attach To the fire torch i had to attach it to the units right hand.
Hand placement on the fire torch is a bit off.
the flame does not burn other units (i'm thinking about it)
not tested im M/P
The flame animation a bit fast (will fix)
The intensity,colour and settings i am trying to adjusting to get the right balance.

Compatibility And Other Issues

I have not made this mod to be compatible with other mods as thats not a priority for me right know.
As i have so many projects in development i can not commit to regular updates, improving models,textures,scripts or even finishing this mod

I made a version of this torch that doesnt bother running the script because it was nuking my server's performance. if you have any issues with this just lmk and ill take it down, but its there for ppl who want it.

Dude, your work is awesome! I use the torch from the roman mod... Im creating a RPG scenario... Just an idea: Maybe this torch could be a primary weapon for the player who uses melee weapons (usually secondary) be able to have a torch as well. ;)

If u press Ctrl(x2) in Arma your character lowers his fire torch, but the flame remains near the face of the character, so when u walking (by pressing Ctrl+C) u becoming like The GHOST RIDER)) Because flame position moves directly to your face. Can u fix that somehow? This mode is unique, and i'd like to play with it, if u would fix this little problem for me. Thaaaank you for your work)
