How can I make a flashlight to get camo when I turn it on???

i tried to do that by making the flashlight spawn a camo equipment on the player, it worked but it was a crap way of doing it... I think you could make the player go invisible by doing something like the way the warthog horn works except itd be changing the colour to clear. It wouldnt fool AI but itd work on people.

(script continuous flashlight
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false)
)

To keep the flashlight off and to resolve some issues regarding to on/off effects. Although it would probably flash for a split second.

(script continuous cloak
(object_create "camo")
(sleep_until (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true))
(objects_attach (unit (list_get (players) 0)) "" camo "")
(objects_detach (unit (list_get (players) 0)) camo)
(sleep 600)
)

For SP, that is. Make sure you have an active camo powerup somewhere in your map, preferably somewhere out of reach, and name it "camo" in either Sapien or Guerilla(I think).

Really, it works great. http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=30645.

Umm... you don't really need to attach it to the right hand.

It looks better for the bubble shield. Also instead of making a separate to disable flashlight, it would be better done in "cloak."

There's a sleep command.

Also script in the AI to be blind, maybe? This won't work well if you have allies, too, though, or a vehicle. Just a suggestion.
Also, I've tried attaching the camo powerup to the player before. Didn't give my camouflage. It just stuck the powerup on MC's ass.

You're supposed to DETACH it after attaching it ._.
