Flag: AmbientChangeStep
File(s): rules(md).ini
Values: Floating point values: Any decimal number (clearer range should be added in Template:Values).
Applicable to: AudioVisual


Specifies the default amount of ambient light to change on each "step" of ambient light recalculations. When the ambient lighting level in a map is changed via trigger action #73, the map's Ambient value (or IonAmbient, if Ion Storm/Lightning Storm is active) is increased or decreased in steps by this amount until it reaches the new level. This amount can be changed with action #71. The default delay between each step is defined by AmbientChangeRate.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

If AmbientChangeStep is defined in map code, you must also redefine ExtraUnitLight, ExtraInfantryLight and ExtraAircraftLight, else these are reset to rules value without decimal component.

  • values=-1 to -2147483648 will make the light that comes from Nuclear missile+Psychic Dominator work incorrectly and gives the most bizarre effects.
