Vars
hacked	Hacked laws Syndicate uploaded laws which are above all other laws These laws will go away when an AI is reset
id	The ID of this lawset, pretty much only used to tell if we're default or not
inherent	Core laws Inherent laws are the "core" laws of the AI Reseting the AI will not remove these, these are intrinsit to whatever lawset they are running.
ion	Ion laws Special randomized (usually) laws which are above all over laws These laws will go away when an AI is reset
name	The name of the lawset
owner	The silicon linked to this lawset
protected_zeroth	If TRUE, the zeroth law of this AI is protected and cannot be removed by players under normal circumstances.
supplied	Supplied laws Supplied laws are supplied in addition to the inherent laws - after the fact These laws will go away when an AI is reset
zeroth	Zeroth law A lawset can only have 1 zeroth law, it's the top dog. Removed by things that remove core/inherent laws, but only if protected_zeroth is false. Otherwise, cannot be removed except by admins
zeroth_borg	Zeroth borg law It's just a zeroth law but specially themed for cyborgs ("follow your master" vs "accomplish your objectives")
Procs
add_hacked_law	Adds the passed law as an hacked law.
add_inherent_law	Adds the passed law as an inherent law. Simply adds it to the bottom of the inherent law list. No duplicate laws allowed.
add_ion_law	Adds the passed law as an ion law.
add_supplied_law	Adds the passed law as a supplied law at the passed priority level. Will override any existing supplied laws at that priority level.

Proc Details

proc
add_hacked_law
(law)

Adds the passed law as an hacked law.

proc
add_inherent_law
(law)

Adds the passed law as an inherent law. Simply adds it to the bottom of the inherent law list. No duplicate laws allowed.

proc
add_ion_law
(law)

Adds the passed law as an ion law.

proc
add_supplied_law
(number, law)

Adds the passed law as a supplied law at the passed priority level. Will override any existing supplied laws at that priority level.

proc
clear_hacked_laws
()

Clears all hacked laws.

proc
clear_inherent_laws
()

Clears all inherent laws from this lawset.

proc
clear_ion_laws
()

Clears all ion laws.

proc
clear_supplied_laws
()

Clears all supplied laws.

proc
clear_zeroth_law
(force)

Unsets the zeroth (and zeroth borg) law from this lawset

This will NOT unset a malfunctioning AI's zero law if force is not true

Returns TRUE on success, or false otherwise

proc
get_law_amount
(/list/groups)

Gets the number of how many laws this AI has

groups - What groups to count laws from? By default counts all groups

Returns a number, the number of laws we have

proc
get_law_list
(include_zeroth, show_numbers, render_html)

Generates a list of all laws on this datum, including rendered HTML tags if required

Arguments:

include_zeroth - Operator that controls if law 0 or law 666 is returned in the set
show_numbers - Operator that controls if law numbers are prepended to the returned laws
render_html - Operator controlling if HTML tags are rendered on the returned laws

proc
remove_hacked_law
(law)

Removes the passed law from the hacked law list.

proc
remove_inherent_law
(law)

Removes the passed law from the inherent law list.

proc
remove_ion_law
(law)

Removes the passed law from the ion law list.

proc
remove_law
(number)

Removes the law at the passed index of both inherent and supplied laws combined.

For example, if a lawset has 3 inherent and 3 supplied laws... Calling this with number = 2 will remove the second inherent law while calling this with number = 4 will remove the first supplied law

Returns the law text of what law that was removed.

proc
remove_supplied_law_by_law
(law)

Removes the supplied law by law text, replacing it with a blank.

proc
remove_supplied_law_by_num
(number)

Removes the supplied law at the passed number.

proc
replace_random_law
(law, remove_law_groups, insert_law_group)

Removes a random law and replaces it with the new one

Args: law - The law that is being uploaded remove_law_groups - A list of law categories that can be deleted from insert_law_group - The law category that the law will be inserted into

proc
set_zeroth_law
(law, law_borg)

Sets this lawset's zeroth law to the passed law

Also can set the zeroth borg law, if this lawset is for master AIs. The zeroth borg law allows for AIs with zeroth laws to give a differing zeroth law to their child cyborgs
