How Do Games Make Lighting Zones For Different Maps?

Hello! Im making a game that requires more than 1 map but the issue is the lighting. Each map has a different theme in which each map should have their own lighting.

How do some sim games make a lighting zone for each of their maps?

This could be accomplished by using Region3 or a .Touched event from a part that leads into each map.

^ You could store a dictionary in a ModuleScript containing different Lighting presets for each map:

local Themes = {
    ["The Twilight Zone"] = {
        Ambient = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0),
        Brightness = 0,
        -- etc...
    },
   
    -- Add more themes from here!
}

When a .Touched event or a Region3 is fired, you can find your specified map within the dictionary that is identical to the map the player has entered, then simply iterate through the index (in this case "The Twilight Zone") using a for loop and set those presets accordingly to your Lighting service.

Hope this helps.

You could accomplish that with this script:
