what's the difference between the values ?

ambient

ambientlight

just noticed it is used in mohaadm6 (stalingrad). did a search using ambient and ambientlight and came up with a million topics. i'm betting atomic knows (granted he's the only one currently on) . free bollywood video using your SN if you answer correctly.

global ambience script is used for easy placement of ambient sounds

global/ambient.scr uses triggers to change music in single player maps from interior to exterior

ambientlight is general ambient light

where did you see ambient used ?

I believe mohlight says 'ambient' is for entities only (only affects grid perhaps), 'ambientlight' is for everything in the world (that can be lighted).

Never tested it.
