How would I go about increasing/decreasing flashlight intensity with the scroll wheel ? I know how to set up the input for the mouse wheel, but I’m just having trouble with mapping out the function for increasing/decreasing the intensity of the flashlight brightness. Below is a picture of the script…

Thank you! That’s close but it’s basically just toggling it on and off… Is there a way for it to scroll from 0 to 1000 depending on how much you scroll? Or did I do something wrong?

The example will adjust the value in the increments of 1000 per mouse wheel scroll tick. Try lowering it for more granularity. The default intensity of the Spotlight is 5000 (I think) so I used that as a base here. So 5 scroll downs will switch the light off. If you require a completely smooth tran…

Not sure what effect you’re after precisely, but you will most likely want to introduce a clamp, too: [228850-clamp.png]

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately I’m still having issues making it work :thinking: First, here is what did work: I managed to connect the point light component object reference and the light intensity float. It seems the problem was simply that I had placed the get-variable and the point lig…

Script looks fine. Regular actors do not process input until you enable it. It’s not recommended to do so in most cases. Input is usually handled in the player controller / possessed pawn.
