Give AI the ability to control medibots

[Togopal]

title, this can be implemented in a similar way of the pAI, requiring a robotics-fabricated card inside the medical bot to operate

this will allow the AI to become a little more useful to the station and be able to heal crew members in crit when nobody else can be arsed to help

[D&B]

Why don't you just make an extra Borg and order it to go medbot.

Why don't you just make an extra Borg and order it to go medbot.

because when I am AI I lack the hands and the movement

besides, most cyborgs don't really want to change module just for a situation

[Qbopper]

I think the AI has enough on their hands that they don't need to be worrying about controlling simple bots, especially when borgs can fulfill those functions

Ask Shadowlight to revive this: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/23571 using RR's new soul thingy. You can then take your own borg shell and do the medicals yourself! Failing that, ask the Robos to make you an Oddy mech to use!

but they can already control mechs, and like i said, if there's a situation that requires medical aid and the human crew are not bothering with it, the human is boned

it can be handy in the grace period that they're not a spectator and doorknob

that PR is actually awesome, wonder why it got closed
tg seems to be merging a lot to goon so i dont see why this should be overlooked

[Gun Hog]

It was closed because RR made a system that does it better. Shadowlight never revived it!

AIs already have roboticist PDA levels of control over all simple bots on the station. I don't see being able to possess them as being something actually needed. In fact, possession would allow AI vision into places it wasn't intended, like maint.

But they can literally already do this.


The interface is shit though.

You should at least be able to make call commands by selecting a bot.

[Togopal]

to the last two replies, i know the interface exists, but the medbot moves on its own as slow as a snail in the matrix, and when security officer griffin is on the other side of the map, chances are he's going to die before the medbot even makes it halfway

But...I worked so hard on that interface.....

I'm not sure if it is intended but, the interface doesn't work on bots that are not within LoS of a camera. You get a "Officer Beepsky is not responding to the command!" error.

It is not intended. Someone did a Topic change that nerfed it.
