This is pretty awesome! Any idea if it breaks multiplayer? It should...

It should not break in MP. The code doesn't use methods that I know to be unsupported and my 2 client test was successfull.

Hey there I've just got a small bug with this mod, this occurred in a MP session, when my friend got disconnected, I've quickly checked the code and added an additional check if a player is connected.
-- Changed this
if not players[i].vehicle and players[i].selected and players[i].character and not players[i].walking_state.walking then
-- Into this
if players[i].connected and not players[i].vehicle and players[i].selected and players[i].character and not players[i].walking_state.walking then

I've added this to my game-in-progress. After loading, once it begins to become night (within 30 seconds), I get this error:
__searching-flashlight__/control.lua:16: Invalid direction
Also, it would be nice if your character lerped to the new angle instead of instantly snapping to it - it would look much smoother.
EDIT) I'm playing 0.12.29, in case that matters.

I added better clamping. Hoping it will fix that.
I can't make it smoother currently. Has only 8 directions. This must be due to nature of character entity. Walking "direction" is used over Smooth "orientation" unless in combat.

What about the car and tank? They don't snap to the 8 directions. Watching their headlights sweep through the night is awesome and I want the player to do it too. Maybe there's a way to use the orientation thing instead?

Yes, I think that is possible, but it will add some complexity to this simple mod.

Will this mod get updated ? I'm still using it but something has broke since 0.14 version came out. It was working perfectly in the 0.13 version.

I've sent a PR which should fix it, but in interim see if this version works:
I changed the dependency version number. also removed version number from title. I assume/hope mod portal uses names as IDs.
I'm bit puzzled why ingame mod browser does not show version number, but info.json has it and mod portal site shows it.
ah must be because I run stable 0.13 and release is now only for 0.14. hmm

FYI the mod doesn't work when unzipped, unless you rename the folder to "searching-flashlight_1.1.1"
