Sup, just looking for someone who has pretty basic knowledge of tag functions (A in, B out, etc). I haven't modded in a while and I'm looking through my tags for random stuff to release, so if you know enough about functions to get a flashlight working (like the campaign marines, toggle-able with scripts and such) add me on Xfire: SeanTheLawn

It's a ridiculously small biped release that'll probably go unnoticed but you'll get credit for helping and all that. Thanks in advance.

I'm give this a try.... Learned this on my own so it COULD be wrong...
Go to the biped tag and add an attachment. Put in the light that you will use (example: characters\marine_armored\flashlight_marine), and type in "flashlight" as the marker.

As you can see, there are several A ins, B ins, etc. THEY ALL CONNECT TO EACH OTHER.
Go down to $$$ UNIT $$$ and pick A, B, C, or D in and select "integrated light power" (Use A in for reference here).
Now go up to Functions and create one (Will be using A out for reference). Set the period as one, and set the "scale function as" A in. Set the bounds as 0 to 1. Type in the usage "integrated light power". Go back up to the attachments and set A out as the primary scale. Leave the rest as is.

Because they are all connected, DO NOT ADD ANY OTHER A in. If you were to accidentally select "alive" in A in (export to functions), then the flashlight would be on as long as the biped is alive.

I tried following this tutorial but in a different manner. I am trying to apply a sound to a weapon so when you hit the flashlight key you'll hear a specific sound. Sadly this didn't work.

If you mean "specific sound", you want to hear the flashlight click on?
If that's the case, go to the biped tag and scroll down to $$$ UNIT $$$
Put the effect in "integrated light toggle". I recommend you use "weapons\assault rifle\effects\flashlight".

EDIT: You will hear the sound every time you use the flashlight, with ANY weapon.

Thanks for the info but that is not exactly what I'm looking for. I wanted each weapon to have a different sound. A sound that would be triggered instead of the flashlight. Maybe a voice command like "follow me" or something.

You could script it in. However, let's move on to a new topic instead of using this one...

So, if the flashlight was attached to the third person weapon rather than the biped, would that still work...?

Maybe..... I don't know but I think some weapons have their own flashlight (eg. Assault Rifle, as shown by marines).
