var light1:Light; var light2:Light; var lightTimer : float = 0.0; var lightBattery : float = 8.0;

public var lightOn : boolean = false;

function Update () {

if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1"))

{ audio.Play(); lightOn = !lightOn;

light1.enabled = lightOn; light2.enabled = lightOn;

} }

try this but Note: you must have the audio source added to it for it to work

Here is a simple way to turn a light on and off by Clicking

  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections;
  
  public class Flashlight : MonoBehaviour {
  
      public Light light;    //assign gameobject with light component attached
  
      void Update () {
          if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {      //Left mouse button
              light.enabled = !light.enabled;      //changes light on/off
          }
      }
  }

Make sure you add the script to GameObject with the light component.
Then assign the same GameObject to 'light'.

Here's something I wrote yesterday, its much simpler, its C#, and doesn't use the update function. Obviously the less code being called every single frame, the better, right?

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class FlashLight : MonoBehaviour 
 {
     public Light light1;  
 
     void Start()
         {
                 light1.enabled = false;
         }
     
     public void ToggleFlashLight () 
         {
 
         if (light1.enabled == true) 
                 {
                         light1.enabled = false;
                 }
         else
                 {
                         light1.enabled = true;
                 }
         }
 }
