Valid values

  • A light level in hundredths, where 100 is full daylight. The map's Ambient key gives the level as a fraction instead, so 1 here is one hundredth of daylight.
Caveats
  • The light moves toward the new level one step at a time, at the pace [AmbientChangeStep](/keys/ambientchangestep/) and [AmbientChangeRate](/keys/ambientchangerate/) set. A fade in progress turns toward the new level without finishing first.
  • During an ion storm the new level is stored, but the light keeps the storm's level. The map fades to the new level when the storm ends.
  • Setting the level the light already has changes nothing on screen and springs no ambient light event. Those events are tested only after a fade step.
