The words "Can someone give me a script" is the reason your topic was closed. This site is NOT for giving you free scripts. This site is for helping you with a specific problem. See this for more details.

Also the words "THIS IS NOT OFF TOPIC AT ALL DON'T CLOSE!" is just begging for someone to close it (someone not me because I don't have the authority)

Try asking for instructions, rather than a script. You will get a more positive result.

Try this:

You have a problem. Break it down into smaller problems:

  • In Update,
    • If mouse1 is down,
      • Then turn off the spotlight

    • Else,
      • Turn it on.

How do I check mouse1? Input.GetButton.

How do I get the spotlight in the script? var spotlight : GameObject;

How do I turn it off? spotlight.[SendMessage][2]("turnOff"); And then have a script that receives the message and turns off the light.

How do I turn it on? repeat above step with "turnOn". Or better yet, create a method that does both and uses a Boolean to determine on/off.

Use this technique and complex problems become simple.
