Need someone to write a small plugin for my mod.

[daniel l.]

My mod, Dark Days - Eternal Black, is a mod that forces the player to function in a universe that has gone almost completely dark, aside from a nearby low-energy star or two, there is no stellar source of heat or warmth remaining.

I have made numerous adjustments to the stock parts to make this work, adjustments such as making stock lights consume significantly for Electric-Charge just to function (Requires they be used sparingly.), but I need a means of lighting a massive area for a short period of time, my decision? Flares.

The flare should be a Unity3D point-light with a small spherical collider, it will be fired from a small tube, like out the barrel of a gun. It starts out bright but gradually grows dimmer until it stops glowing.

The range of the illumination as well as the longevity of the flare, and the speed in which it is fired, should all be configurable in the part config file, though the speed of firing should be tweakable in VAB.

 

Can someone help me with this? I possess no C# skills, but I feel that this feature would be highly valuable to the mod overall.
