Mounted lights

Someone have, or can point me to an example of how to use:
.attachToObject()
What I am trying to do is mount a light to a helmut. I read the pdf for tlk and even did a search, but keep coming up empty.

yourLight.attachToObject(yourPlayer);
At this point the light should be attached to the player (probably at mount 0), if you are using a different mountpoint then change the light datablock property MountPoint to the mountpoint number.
For an example for how to dynamically create a light and attach it to an object see the TLK example scripts in 'starter.fps/server/scripts/sgExamples.cs', and check out the SpotSwing example.

Assuming the helmet is part of the player and not a mounted image: make sure your helmet has a mount point on it, then when want to attach a light create a light for the player and call the following code:yourLight.attachToObject(yourPlayer);
At this point the light should be attached to the player (probably at mount 0), if you are using a different mountpoint then change the light datablock property MountPoint to the mountpoint number.
