Basically I wanna make a specific room in a map darker than everything else (similar to the gm_construct dark room)
I don’t wanna use a giant black box or make the entire map darker

ZonePlus has an Ambient Lighting zone script/module that you can use to change the lighting of a room based on whether the player has entered a part.
I just ended up doing it manually lol
Still not preferable
Create a SurfaceGui, add a Frame with size {1, 0},{1, 0} into it and set LightInfluence to 0 (I recommend to set PixelToStud to 5, from default 50 in SurfaceGui, because you have just black fram on it and it will save up some render time)

That won’t result in the room itself being dark just the walls
Can just use neon blocks for that
Then the only way is to change Ambient and OutdoorAmbient values.
Use the FutureEnvironmentDiffuseScale and EnvironmentSpecularScale to 0. Change down Ambient and OutdoorAmbient both to 0. You can change brightness to whatever you want now.

I did this exact thing, make your outdoor ambient bright, and then the ambient very dark (or however dark you want it to be) then make the areas where you want it to be brighter have castshadow false ceilings, this will create the effect of bright ambient but still allowing you to have darker areas
also play around using atmospheres with this

This works but not on low graphics. Any other things I need to do?
You could use region3 to create a region that completely envelopes the room. When players enter that region3, you can dynamically adjust the lighting settings for that player.
Alternatively, you can create a part that fills the room with collisions disabled and use the GetTouchingParts method to find any player in the room and again, dynamically adjust the lighting settings for that player.
There might be more efficient methods, but this would be my first attempt.
