I was just wondering how, or if it's even possible. I wanted to know this because in some parts of my game, it would make it a lot easier for the plr to get through mazes and and stuff like that.

I believe you can change ambience through code.

Try adding this action to the plrinzone.fpi script.

ambience=25 (that's the normal)
ambience=10 (that's for dark games)

E.D.

It may be changed in the setuplevel.fpi once the game is built.

Not that I know of.

Here's a script I made that will do it. Place a triggerzone over the start marker, give it this script, and whala. You could modify the script to include the value you want:

Umm, I don't think you guys got what I meant.

I mean like when you have already build a game, with lvl's and everything, and made it into an .exe, you can stop the plr from changing the ambience while their playing the finished .exe

Because the keystroke function is built into the engine, and not scripted (I'm pretty sure that ambience is just an action, and not a condition) we have no way to disable it without altering the source.

If I'm wrong and it is a condition as well (ambiencegreater=?) then you can create a global script, attached to a light or something, that watches the ambience and puts it back to 0 when it changes. Alternatively, creating multiple zones along the players path that change the ambience to 0 may work, that is if the script can override the engine.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

My script does exactly what you want - once the player has entered the zone (usually placed on the start maker) it is forced at that ambience level. The < and > keys will have no effect because it keeps resetting.
