1:Making it!
So to start off spawn a player connector. The player connector allows you to attach to things and still move normally this will make it so we don't have to hold the flashlight the whole time. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199452789/8BF1FF735BF772B97F7D3109DD1844BB34679921/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Next we need to add a spotlight to y'know make light.
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199458145/1E7BB51D3871DD6718B410070B592ED77ED44695/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

on the top of the player connector theres an arrow now make sure you place the light on the side that the arrow is pointing to.
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199462610/A9F9D0A7C8D5F7EC9548A23753E5131BA1585EBB/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

and then scale it down to about 50%
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199464324/EFA1182F7AE1123C1A34B603502E3487B3F4E2F3/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

After that Press E on the light then set the intensity to max
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199505949/068EEF969748793011224DE4EE0F06AB2E4CAB8A/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Same with range
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199507605/C71491B3C92F50C9A83398D30E796B0477CEFBC5/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

And angle
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199509557/1E8119F41DE30BC8BFD7B49B9C2158FAC4FA44B1/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Now add a controller
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199466500/AA793F8246258B9A38BC55C8C036BC41A9CE6845/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199467624/51BC2CC442EC10785E6F69FAC99C5F5445F4970A/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false
and then scale it down
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199468970/F4691DDF81420E72C9F43FEE8EB0A191910F6194/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false
2:Coding it!
Now press Q while hovering you cursor over the flashlight to do the very simple coding.
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199481405/0D2649DC7A041F73436484C3F5D02A322E3612DA/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Your gonna drag and drop the player connector and the spotlight to the workspace.
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2048615539199484812/B368F394BFB12FB914F41D617A7FA1FE38A92715/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Now connect the connected from the player connector to the On for the spotlight. Then do the same for disconnect and Off.

3:Using it!
Using is pretty simple the way I made you code it makes it so whenever you press F on the player connector it activates the flashlight say goodbye to always holding E to use a flashlight!

This was my first guide and i hope this helps you! :D

@8arracuda this was my very first guide so i hope there's a guide to making guides!

@8arracuda The base idea is to use a Player Connector.
So you don't have to hold E.
It's very similar to the remote control outside of the Homebase. (for that demo drone).
Just that you use a light, instead of a rotating LCD screen.

Thanks for the guide - I'd like to read and understand it fully. But unfortunately the image are very small and the resolution is too low to read. Seems like you linked preview-images instead of the full-res ones. It would be great when you are able to fix this.
