ambient kight

Hi Folks,
I am using A7 and C-script.
PROBLEM:-
I want to lower the ambient light in a room so that MY lights work better.
I have put camera.ambient=25; (as per 'example' in manual
BUT get keyword unknown camera.ambient
??? what am I doing wrong please?

camera.ambient=25;

runs under A8 and Lite-C leading me to believe it is not a c-script and/or a7 command.

Please check which manual you are using?

Other possible causes - missing #include <acknex.h>

Hello Malice,
Thanks for your reply and advice.
You suggest I include acknex.h - I thought that was for lite_c only? (tried using it, but got the same result -not known !)

The command camera.ambient=100; also appears in A6.40, which I thought was using C-script.
Using C-script, how would you lower the ambient light in a room please?
Hopefully, David

Sorry David, I got no solution for c-script.

Maybe "sun_light" is an option.

I am pretty sure camera ambient used to work in old versions/ C-script, too. I used to use it for my own projects.
Maybe the error lies somewhere else (line above/ below camera.ambient, maybe you wrote it outside of a function like a var definition?).

camera.ambient even compiles in lite-c without errors btw

Thanks for all your help you guys - much appreciated.
The problem was solved by putting my own lights in the room scene - and the 'ambient' disappeared !!!

Thanks again for you suggestions,
David
