Flashlight/Laser sight improvement: pressure switch

[Jarmak]

I'm not sure the visible laser sight will ever be that useful (in real life they're only really used to zero the IR laser or for escalation of force). But in the real world these two weapon attachments are frequently operated by pressure switch so that they can only be activated for the moment they're needed then turned off.

I was thinking it would be relatively simply to implement this by having the left trigger actuate the pressure switch when the left hand is gripping the weapon. Or put another way, if you have the flashlight/laser set to "off" for as long as you pull the left trigger while gripping the weapon they will be turned on, and then turn immediatly off again when you release the trigger.

With some guns you can toggle them already. It would be cool if the light was more useful though, because right now it gets you killed. In vr you don't get the same squinting blinding effect like you would in reality.

I think it would be a cool idea to make the light a sort of counter to night vision like make it do the visual effects of the flashbang if hit by the light give it like 2 seconds to dim down to lower brightness where they can see the brightly lit areas but everything else is dark if the bright light goes away give it 2 seconds to brighten up again. Then its rock paper scissors. Nothing beats flashlight, flashlight beats night vision, night vision beats nothing.

These are all really good suggestions.
