Aim Flashlights

[TimFinucane]

Summary

Flashlights are pretty useless at the moment because they point off to the left of the user and dont illuminate what the player is looking at. To solve this we can add aiming of the flashlight:

• When using the flashlight, the player adopts an 'aiming' posture
  • Currently the flashlight is too low, so the aiming posture should ideally be around chest to shoulder height
• The flashlight (and by extension the player's arm) should aim in the direction of the player's mouse
• The arm can rotate about (this is up for discussion) ±60 degrees from resting position, i.e. the player can't aim the flashlight 180 degrees behind them

I think we should make the aiming system be its own system so that the player can aim with most objects or even physically point in a direction with a bare hand.

Specific items and their functionality can then be added. The flashlight, guns, melee weapons etc.

Throwing could use this or something similar too maybe instead of "press R to queue throw".

The stuff that is built for this should be extendable to things like pointing or guns, yeah
