This is awful (probably).

The flashlight mod with brightness linearly decreasing with distance and ray casting. Textures: made by me. Sounds: also by me. Some of the code: by the illumination mod, but heavily changed. Some more of the code: by ApolloX (thank you once again).

  Great mod, and a code suggestion

  First off, I like that it reduces brightness the further away it goes (like real life!)

  Second, I'd like to see it gain the ability to toggle the flashlight on/off by right click too!

  -- Line 141 to line 165 Rewritten
  -- A: Make the function that swiches back and forth into a local function
  local function flashlight_toggle(stack)
          if stack:get_name() == "goodtorch:flashlight_off" then
                  minetest.sound_play("goodtorch_on")
                  stack:set_name("goodtorch:flashlight_on")
          else
                  minetest.sound_play("goodtorch_off")
                  stack:set_name("goodtorch:flashlight_off")
          end
          return stack
  end
  
  -- B: Update the register functions to use on_use (left click/punch) and on_secondary_use (right click/place)
  minetest.register_craftitem("goodtorch:flashlight_off", {
          description = "Flashlight (off)",
          inventory_image = "goodtorch_flashlight_off.png",
          on_use = flashlight_toggle,
          on_secondary_use = flashlight_toggle,
          groups = {
                  flash_light = 1,
          },
  })
  
  minetest.register_craftitem("goodtorch:flashlight_on", {
          description = "Flashlight (on)",
          inventory_image = "goodtorch_flashlight_on.png",
          on_use = flashlight_toggle,
          on_secondary_use = flashlight_toggle,
          groups = {
                  flash_light = 1,
          },
  })
  
  -- C: Profit! :)
