A sleeper's audio acuity is cut in half. So a sleeper can still hear nearby sounds. These will raise the sleeper's alert level, though slowly. The sleeper is allowed to be at the Relaxed and Observant levels w/o waking up. When he rises to the Suspicious level (alert level >= 6.0), he wakes up. The lowest level where an AI can be immune to KOs is AgitatedSearching. The narrower KO cones when in higher alert levels are used at this level or Combat. The sleeping AI is wide awake at these levels. The narrower KO cones are also used at lower alert levels, but only if the AI is hit in the back of the head, which won't happen when they're sleeping. So I'm not seeing how the KO cones come into play to make it harder to KO a sleeping AI whose alert level has begun to rise. --------------------------------------- Rather than using a rising alert level to wake up an AI who's hearing things, we could leave the alert level untouched, and have him wake up if he hears a sound that's loud enough to do so. A simple threshold. |

This is a really old bug that may not even be accurate anymore, although I have no problem with your suggested change. |

If things are okay the way they are, I'll skip making unneeded changes. Can I close this? |

I think it's safe to close it. |
