Basic flashlight effect

Question

I'm making a survival horror game, and I want to make a flashlight effect. No battery or anything, not even a flashlight model. Just a basic spot light that can be toggled on and off. I tried attaching a spot light component to the first person character prefab but nothing happened when I clicked play. How do I make this?

You may want to make sure that the spotlight is enabled, and not inside the character when spawned. To make sure that the flashlight isn't inside the player, adjust the offset of the spotlight, and angle it correctly in the world. Then, attach it to the player in the world and test. I'm not sure that's the problem but I hope I helped!

I figured that out, but now it's not bright enough. I changed the intensity to 0 and it's barely visible.

enable the entire spotlight with something like this

[serialized field] private GameObject spotlight;

public void ToggleSpotlight (bool tf){ spotlight.setActive(tf); }
