[softShadow=boolean],

Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
ambientLight is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The ambientLight command is used to edit the parameters of existing
ambientLights, or to create new ones. The default behaviour is to
create a new ambientlight.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
