so i have an fx that has a light entity in it that im using as a flashlight. i have it to where it plays the fx on the player but whenever the player turns the fx is still pointing in the same direction. is it possible to change the direction of the fx with the player?

this is the code im using at the moment, its only set up for player 1 at the moment as i want to get the flashlight working properly before worrying about getting it on all 4 players

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players = getPlayers();
flashlight_model = Spawn("script_model", players[0].origin + (2.5 , 5 , 56));
flashlight_model SetModel("tag_origin");
PlayFxOnTag(level._effect["light4"], flashlight_model, "tag_origin");
flashlight_model LinkTo(players[0]);

You should be doing through clientscripts rather than GSC as in CSC you can define which tag to play it from.

is it pretty much the same process as doing it through gsc? or is it completely different to do it in clientscripts?
