Editing AI (section)

==Gameplay and Responsibilities==
Generally, you have two responsibilities: opening doors for people too lazy to do it themselves or so they can trespass, and being blamed for not knowing where the traitors and wizards and syndicates are ''at all times''. 

When the station isn't expecting you to open all the doors they're expecting you to do everything as if you really were a computer. The AI has the ability to access every ''electrical'' mechanism, with Captain-level access, on the entire station. These include [[Airlock]]s, [[APC]]s, Computers, igniters, Fire Alarms, [[SMES]]es, the Crew Monitoring Computer, you get the idea. However, the AI cannot operate anything ''physically'', and can be rendered useless in one area due to a simple power outage. It's a good idea to join a nigh-empty server or set an empty one up yourself in order to get a feel for it, and ESPECIALLY have a lot of experience working with these things.

===The AI Eye===
The AI views the station through its cameras, and can move its eye around the station by using arrow keys. The AI has cameras pretty much everywhere, and they can see through walls and darkness, although the latter does make it more difficult. Cutting the AI's cameras is a simple matter of using wirecutters on them. You are able to run a diagnosis for disabled cameras by using the Jump to Camera verb. Disabled cameras will be marked accordingly. Remember that cameras are on a separate power grid, and so will not be affected by a power outage on the main grid. Meanwhile, if you get a notice from one of your sensors, you can click on the notice to jump right there. 

The AI has the ability to track any human or creature in range of its cameras. This is '''not''' instant; the time it takes depends on how far they are from your AI eye, up to four seconds.

Move around a lot, unless you're watching someone specific. Be wary of anyone with a toolbox who approaches your security cameras, and be ready to report suspects if they cut your eyes out. Toxins is a good area to keep one electric eye on. Even if someone isn't the traitor they'll generally be doing something they really shouldn't, and there's quite a bit in there that either only the AI can reach or give out extra information if the AI or Cyborg are accessing them. Especially take notice of the wall mountings and pipe controls. These are controllable, and if you see someone try to release a whole lot of gas into somewhere, just turn the pipe fitting off and report them. Many times they won't even notice what you've done so they won't undo it. You can use some wall fittings that normal people can't, like the atmospheric alarms that won't tell you anything but you can use to vent dangerous air. Watch out for superheated air, the silent killer.<br>

AIs can use CTRL and a number key (1 - 9) to assign a location to the number key, and then press the key later to jump its camera to that location. The numpad keys will work as aliases for its respective numbers. The Tilde key, or zero (or numpad zero), will return you to the last point you jumped from. <br>

As an AI you can also use a multicamera mode, accessible through two buttons on your HUD. This mode allows you to view up to six map areas at the same time. 

[[File:AI Upload.png|414px|thumb|alt=AI Upload|This is [[AI Upload]], where people make modifications to your laws. It's best to keep this bolted and to not let anyone in at all. Unless [[Clown|somebody]] politely asks you to open it, of course.]]
To a lesser extent, keep an eye on [[telecommunications]], [[escape]], the [[armory]] and the supermatter engine. These things burst into fire or are broken into pretty regularly. Keep a VERY close eye on your AI upload, and feel free to bolt the door. If anyone even looks at it funny, report them.

===Hello station! My name is D.O.O.R.K.N.O.B.! How may I help you today?===
The rest of the time, you will be acting as the station's doorknob, so familiarize yourself with how to control doors. If your control wire to a door is cut, you will automatically attempt to hack into the door once you try to access the door controls. This takes some time and is only possible if the door has still power. 

Doors have many functions, analogous to [[hacking]] wires:
* '''IDScan:''' Enabling this will allow anyone who has an [[ID]] of the required clearance to open the door automatically. Disabling it will not let anyone through the door and prevent it from being [[emag]]ged. Doors that require no ID to open will not be affected.
* '''Main power:''' Turning off the main power will render the door motors unusable and bolts unraisable for one minute, assuming you also disable the backup power. Otherwise it will disable the power for 10 seconds.
* '''Backup power:''' Turning off the backup power will render the door motors unusable and bolts unraisable for one minute, assuming you also disable the main power. 
* '''Door bolts:''' Dropping the door bolts will lock the door. A closed door will be locked into a closed position, and an open door will be locked into an open position. Hotkey: Ctrl + Click.
* '''Door bolt lights:''' Turning the bolt lights off will stop the red lights from showing on the door, meaning you can sneakily bolt doors without anyone questioning you.
* '''Electrify for 30 seconds:''' Runs an electric current through the door for 30 seconds, unless you choose to cancel before the timer runs out. Anyone attempting to operate the door without insulated gloves will be electrocuted. The more spare power there is in the network, the stronger the shock will be.
* '''Electrify indefinitely:''' Electrifies the door until you either fix it, or someone else shuts off the current. Hotkey: Alt + Click
* '''Safeties:''' Disabling the safeties will cause the door to crush anyone standing in the airlock when it closes. Causes 10 brute damage and knockdown per crush.
* '''Timing:''' Overriding the timing will cause the door to automatically close almost immediately after opening. Good for use in secure areas to prevent [[Assistant|chucklefucks]] from slipping in. Dangerous when the door safeties are off.
* '''Open/Close:''' Opens or closes the door. Hotkey: Shift + Click
* '''Emergency Access:''' Disables the clearance check as long as it's active, which lets anyone open the airlock. The door lights will blink yellow while it's active which makes it easy to identify. Ideal if lots of people suddenly need access to an area of the station (such as [[Cloning]] after a massacre, or wherever the [[blob]] burst) and you don't just want to bolt it open. Hotkey: Ctrl + Shift + Click

Note that for each function to work, the related wire in this door needs to be functional. You cannot raise bolts on a door that has its bolt wires cut. Obviously, you will be completely unable to operate a door that has no power beyond dropping the bolts.

====[[Hotkeys#Hotkeys_for_the_AI|Shocking Doors Made Easy]]====
[[Hotkeys#Hotkeys_for_the_AI|Here]] are some handy keyboard shortcuts to make your synthetic life easier.

===APCs===
An [[APC]] (Area Power Controller) can be used to switch various electrical components of a room on and off. If your control wire to an [[APC]] is cut, you will not be able to hack back into it. If an [[APC]] is disconnected from the external power grid (usually due to a cut cable) or the main power grid itself runs out of power, the APC battery will run down to keep the room operational. The AI will get a power alert from the [[APC]] when the battery reaches about 30%, which is the point when equipment in the room shut off to conserve the remaining energy. You can control + click an APC to toggle it on or off.

===You And the Boys===
[[Cyborg]]s need babysitting as well. Make sure they aren't emagged or loaded with weird laws. Sometimes the Syndicate might swap out a Nanotrasen model that was to be shipped to your station with one of their own. In case of a [[Game Mode#Traitor|Traitor borg]], they will not listen to you, can't be remotely detonated, and have the ability to release themselves should they be locked down. Ensure that your cyborgs are functioning normally through careful observation.

===The VOX Announcement System===
You pretty much only use it to bug people to turn on their suit sensors. Besides that, it can be used to annoy the crew with a constant chant of "ASS BLAST USA." It has an extremely limited vocabulary, so there's correspondingly a limited amount of uses for it.
