   How does ambush work?

   • Note: this is not the same as using AMBUSH: When the AMBUSH flag is specified for a monster, if the player makes a sound in the same room (and in range of the monster if maxheardist is set), the monster will react to the player if they walk within the monster's current line of sight, regardless of the direction it is facing (FOV is ignored).

   Is ambush faster than rush?

   • Ambush is quicker than Rush as well, and the door next to Ambush won't be opened. Ambush can still spawn in the greenhouse sections of the Hotel, even if the rooms are dark. However, the lights will not be heard flickering. Because of this, the player will have to rely on sound and must avoid accidentally stepping on Snare to get to safety.
