Could you try making the combine suppressor's machine gun? It would be nice

will this work on an htc vive

Why be a button at all? Put the flashlight on your head and make the toggle trigger near your head. (like every single other VR game with a light) God Alyx is so fucking outdated.

found a way: to work you need to start a new game using the menu "play with addons"

Doesn't work for me either, Quest 3

does not work on quest 3s

chat what about oculus quest 1?

Does it work still? Cant get it to

FINALEE

I've added a cvar for changing the binding, add the following line to the end of steamapps/common/Half-Life Alyx/game/hlvr/cfg/skill_hlvr.cfg

flashlight_toggle_action 13

Index 13 is Toggle Laser Sight, you can replace it with any other binding from this list here:

I absolute love this mod, but this button layout is the worst possible choice for flashlight on and off, because whenever I grab or catch something or interact with the world (which I do with both triggers or only the upper trigger) the flashlight goes on and off constantly. Is there a way to bind the B or Y button for flashlight toggle on and off instead? I cannot find it in the controller config, just toggle laser on and off (which does not affect the flashlight).
Is there any way to bind a different button for this awesome mod please?

Noooooo!!!! Oh Well... this is my first play through, so I'm learning as I go; but, at least, I'll know for next time.

Thanx Mate :)

Start a new game, addons can't be toggled for existing saves.

FlashLIght Toggle Button MOd doesn't seem to be working for me. I Sub'd to Scalable Init... then I Sub'd to FlashLight Toggle; then loaded the game; went into Add-Ons... Turned on FlashLight Mod... then Turned on Scalable Init Mod (So Scalable Init was the Last Mod Activated); loaded my latest Save Game; hit the Left Hand (and tried Right Hand) Arm Grenade button (Note: While I had nothing in my hands): But the FlashLight never game on.

I then tried Turning Off the FlashLight, and Back on; so it was the last add-on turned on; but that didn't work either.

Note: I have no other Add-Ons... Just these two.

Any Ideas?

FYI: I'm Posting this exact Message under the Other Mod as well, in hopes the answer is somewhere :).

Advanced Thanx

Yea how do you turn it on?off?

does it work on campaign

what button for the quest 2 is to
turn on the flashlight?

cold finger
is
a
cold finger

@Cold Finger left joystick click is already used for changing height

@Cricreto 1. even when in "lit areas" some parts of the game are still dark and hard to see. 2. because we want it that's why 3. having performance issues? get a better computer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quick question, aside from taking some cool screenshots, why would you want this? As they said in the dev commentary, flashlights are very expensive to render, so by restricting it to certain areas they were able to increase performance and graphical fidelity where it mattered most. So basically, you're getting worse performance, for.......the ability to toggle a flashlight where you wouldn't even need it? No disrespect to the mod maker of course, but for anyone using it, why?

"Time to toggle the flashlight! Wait why do i hear grenade noises?"

Like Arndell, I'm having the same problem

The "Arm grenade button" is A on the left hand.
A on left hand does not toggle the light.
Since I installed this the light is just always on, so it clearly changed something, but it does not recognise the toggle input, any idea what's going on?

Thank you very much)

Awesome!

Is there a way to make the laser sight still work when the flashlight is on?

This is something that should have existed from the beginning i think steam devs want us to ruin our pants lol

Fantastic mod!
Just wondering if it is possible to somehow customize the button so that it isn't the same as priming a grenade? Would be ace to have it on something like the left joystick click

This is the best mod on the workshop.

lol @crowbar45, yes in order for the addon to work you must have "make addons work" enabled.

It's... The button that causes grenades to explode.

yes more description plz what is arm grenade button? wrist inventory?

This is such a small but useful mod. Really great. I'm not sure if this is even possible, but it'd be amazing if you could toggle the light by touching it with your right hand. It'd be really immersive, I think!

Actually, seems you have to start an addon-enabled game for it to work?

Doesn't work

Thank you for the great work on this.

Easy to use works perfectly and for all maps!

What do you mean

I'm surprised no one has mentioned you spelled "Flashlight" wrong in your thumbnail.

Can I add some description? How to activate, when can I start using?

This has just been updated to support custom maps too, and now requires Scalable Init Support (don't forget to enable it).
It now also checks the right controller for input if left-handed mode is enabled.

It suddenly stopped working out of the blue. Also it's not well met for us Leftys, as every time I drop a mag my light toggles.

yeah it dont work model is there but not toggleble and i started a new campain in chapter 2

does not work... or do I have to adjust something?

Yes.

So this only works in the campaign right? Or am I missing something really obvious

Currently any addon stops working after the intro chapter as far as I know. Workaround is starting the game from chapter 2.

Worked great until the subway level. There it suddenly stopped working. Now at the Northern Star Hotel it´s still not working.

This only works if I start from arms race
