How to disable flashlight class?

[Aralvar 1]

Hey people, I'd like to disable the flashlight on the Glock 17 so that I can make a version without the flashlight. Here is what I have so far:

class cfgPatches
{
   class Glock 
   {
       units[] = {};
       weapons[] = {};
       requiredVersion = 0.1;
   };
};

class cfgWeapons
{
   class glock17_EP1;

   class Glock : glock17_EP1
   {
       displayName = "Glock 17";
       model = "\ca\weapons_E\glock17\glock17";
       picture = "\ca\weapons_E\Data\icons\glock17_CA.paa";
       reloadTime = 1; //change this value to change the fire rate. 1 means there is 1 second in between each shot
   };
};

How would I edit this code to try and disable this? I already tried FlashLight = false because I thought that might work, but it did not.

i'm actually working on this myself

you could try this (example on m9) - because the flashlight is made in your inheriting pistol class glock17_EP1 - assuming you want to keep it that way, then you can try to edit the flashlight away by scaling its effect right back.

setting lightmode to 0 may help?

more on lightmode, not sure if it will help but anyway

class M9: Pistol
{
	lightmode = 0;
	class FlashLight
	{
		color[] = {0,0,0,0};//black
		ambient[] = {0.01,0.01,0.01,1};//very dim
		position = "Usti hlavne";
		direction = "Konec hlavne";
		angle = 0.1;//very thin
		scale[] = {0.1,0.1,0.1};//tiny
		brightness = 0.001;//very dim
	};
};

alternatively you could rebuild you new weapons config inheriting from pistol and then pasting in the missing bits from the stock glock config minus the flashlight setting.

As it turns out, FlashLight = false does seem to work. I apparently just placed it in the wrong place. Placing it like this seems to work for disabling it:

class cfgPatches
{
   class Glock 
   {
       units[] = {};
       weapons[] = {};
       requiredVersion = 0.1;
   };
};

class cfgWeapons
{
   class glock17_EP1;

   class Glock : glock17_EP1
   {
       displayName = "Glock 17";
       model = "\post apocalyptic weapons\Glock 17\glock17";
       picture = "\ca\weapons_E\Data\icons\glock17_CA.paa";
       reloadTime = 1; //change this value to change the fire rate. 1 means there is 1 second in between each shot
   };
FlashLight = false
};
