Valid values

  • A percentage, where 100 is the light level a map writes as Ambient=1. The comparison is at or below the number, as the event's name says and not as its description does.
Caveats
  • The number is not capped at 100. A map that sets its ambient level above 1 produces a reading above 100, and the event compares against whatever that reading is.
  • The reading is the level in force at that instant, which is not the map's declared level while the light is on its way to a new target. It slides toward the target one step at a time, and both the step and the interval come from the rules.
  • An ion storm is what moves the level in an ordinary scenario, taking it to the map's storm level while the storm runs and back afterwards. The ambient light actions move it directly.
  • The event describes a lasting condition, so a persistent tag carrying it fires on every offer for as long as the light stays that low.
  • The event has nothing to ride on. Its tag joins the general list, which adds nothing to the attachment total a semi-persistent tag waits on, so a trigger built on events of this kind needs a volatile or a persistent tag.
