How to use it in your code

var torch
if Engine.has_singleton("Torch"):
		torch = Engine.get_singleton("Torch")

torch.switchFlashLight(true) #light on

torch.switchFlashLight(false) #light off

Troubleshooting

• First of all, please make sure you're able to compile the custom build for Android without the GoTorch plugin, this way we can isolate the cause of the issue.

• Using logcat for Android is the best way to troubleshoot most issues. You can filter Godot only messages with logcat using the command:

adb logcat -s godot
