Stupid question

[Biscuit]

Does anyone know if you can see a person's flashlight (on thier player model) when it's on? or if you can see the beam from it on the wall?

 

[Dulrough]

theres not really a model for it exept on certain guns ie pump shotty, but you can see the beam and where it lands yes.

 

[Biscuit]

Ok, thanks.

i haven't really studied this but from when I glanced u can see where the beam is coming from...it shows the beam just under the weapon...further investigaton or screenshot is warranted

I was very confused about this myself and it appeared to me that it came form their wrist, like a wrist watch flashlighty thing.

Shut up, it's a real thing.


But now that you say it appears to come right out from under the weapon, I'll have to take a second look.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

it always looked like it was coming from their hand.. like they were carrying a flashlight... at least to me.

i forgot, can it blind you . well not exactly blind but impair your vison if it it right in your face

 

[Dekstar]

Yeah but since then they know exactly where you are, a few blind shots in your general direction would kill you.

Anyway, I thought it was coming right out from their hand (Pistol anyway), and it just looks freaky. I think VALVe have had a hard time implementing it properly since you can get things like Dual elites, two handed guns, and pistols, they just need one place to put it.
