how to get AI to recognize a flashlight from the player

[fuarker]

I have an issue with my AI, I got it to recognize my player and to allow it to enter a follow and an attack state. And for my game there is a toogleable flashlight and I want to use that as a cue for my AI to see that as a cue to investigate it. Any ideas??? all help is appreciated

FYI i only have a very basic AI in case it matters. And i am not a very good programmer

class G3N3_Flashlight extends SpotLightMovable
notplaceable;

defaultproperties
{
Begin Object Name=SpotLightComponent0
LightColor=(R=0,G=255,B=0)
CastShadows=true
bEnabled=true
Radius=500.000000
InnerConeAngle=10
OuterConeAngle=30
LightShaftConeAngle=45
Brightness=1
BloomScale=50
BloomThreshold=50
BloomScreenBlendThreshold=10
BloomTint=(R=0,G=255,B=0)
RadialBlurPercent=50

CastStaticShadows=True
CastDynamicShadows=True
bCastCompositeShadow=true
bAffectCompositeShadowDirection=true
End Object

bNoDelete=false
}

this is my flashlight code and here is how i called it out

var G3N3_Flashlight FlashLight;

simulated function PostBeginPlay()
{
FlashLight = Spawn(class'G3N3_Flashlight', self);
SkeletalMeshComponent(Mesh).AttachComponentToSocke t(FlashLight.LightComponent, 'MF');
//FlashLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(self.default. bIsFlashlightOn);
super.PostBeginPlay();
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ToggleFlashlight()
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
exec function ToggleFlashlight()
{
if(!FlashLight.LightComponent.bEnabled)
{
FlashLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(true);
}
else
{
FlashLight.LightComponent.SetEnabled(false);
}
}

You need some code to tell the bots what to do when they see the light. This article should help point you in the right direction
