: Out of curiosity, how did you find this so-called 'flag' in the code? Or are
: you just speculating based on what you've encountering during game-play?
The flag is in the save-game data. It's in between carnage stats and your poisoned status, next to a similar flag for IR goggles. The Pathways Save Inspector reads this second flag to display its "You are/are not using your flashlight." message.
The bit about how the game updates that flag is an educated guess, based on how the save file changes after playing with the flashlight. Most of the data structures in Bungie's game files are bit-for-bit copies of the game state in memory when running the application.
