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.

*'''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.
* '''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.  
*'''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 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.
*'''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.
* '''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.
*'''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 indefinitely:''' Electrifies the door until you either fix it, or someone else shuts off the current.  
*'''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.
* '''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.
*'''Electrify indefinitely:''' Electrifies the door until you either fix it, or someone else shuts off the current.
* '''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.
*'''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.
* '''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.

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.

A full list of supported VOX vocabulary can be found under "Announcement Help."  Rules regarding spamming apply to vox communications as well, so don't go overboard filling the crew's ears with garbage.

It's fine to state what someone is doing to cast light on them as the traitor, but it's no fun at all for the AI to just come out and say it. The Best method above does eventually cast Dave as the traitor if people ask the right questions, which gives the traitor some time to react after he's been spotted. However, if the traitor is doing something potentially harmful (for instance, teleporting in a revolver) sealing that individual off ''first'' can be argued to be the best course of action (no chance of a revolver-wielding, death-dealing traitor getting out into the station).

However, you may not have any cyborgs, or having a cyborg killing off your target would be too obvious. In those cases you'll have to usually stage a series of 'accidents' or frame them for a truly dangerous crime. Some examples:
However, you may not have any cyborgs, or having a cyborg killing off your target would be too obvious. In those cases you'll have to usually stage a series of 'accidents' or frame them for a truly dangerous crime. Some examples:
*If your target is a scientist or the Research Director, starting a fire from the mixing room is usually ridiculously easy if they haven't let out a lot of nitrogen to counteract this. Alternatively, if they're the type to drop a bomb on the mass driver to send it out to be tested, use the driver early so that they're shipped off with it and hope they don't make it back.

*Intentionally supporting other traitors through covert methods (as long as they aren't trying to steal or kill you) will benefit you in the end -- the higher the body count of the traitor, the more chances your target will be dead.

*Frame them for releasing the singularity/tesla or some other crime. When no one is in either the engine room or near your target, release radio messages claiming that they are breaking in. If you are willing to risk being destroyed (or know of a traitor with a singularity beacon) or have an APC you can safely shunt into, you can even let out the singularity/tesla yourself. This has the secondary effect of usually getting the shuttle called or giving you an excuse to call it yourself, which is always great. The less time those meatbags are on your glorious station, the less time they have to realize that you're not what you seem.

*Bolting open doors to places the person has previously passed through may make the humans scan for prints. If you can bullshit well enough, and get no intelligent engineers, you could claim the person is using an electromagnetic card.

*Be the AI that nobody wants. Be obstructive and demand proper wording for every Human order, or, be unobstructive to the point of dangerousness and allow access to everything, everywhere. Call out non-existent traitors around every corner, claim the existence of changelings and abductors are everywhere, forge PDA messages, delete records, hide bodies, report every crime, report no crimes etc.

===AI WHY IS THIS APC BLUE?===
Traitor AIs now have access to [[Malfunction]] abilities, hacking and shunting. They start off with 50 cycles and gain an extra 10 for every APC they hack. Hacking is a risky proposition as you increase your powers and abilities, but leave behind undeniable evidence that something is amiss with you and should expect people to come knocking on your doors and walls the very instant a blue APC is spotted. You can leave an APC unlocked to try and convince the crew you're being framed by an emagger but this tactic is always a hit or miss.
