	The Alert Level of any AI must be changed through calling '''idAI::SetAlertLevel''' with no exceptions! Directly manipulating the AI_AlertNum is not ok, because the SetAlertLevel method also keeps the AI_AlertIndex and other stuff in sync ~~and draws/sheathes the weapon~~. Note that calling SetAlertLevel will most probably trigger an [[AI State]] change in the next frame, unless the current State does not allow it.
