Guard Spawner Devices

The Guard Spawner can spawn a group of enemies that patrol an area to protect it from players. Like sentries, guards have a detection system. This means players can disguise themselves or engage in stealth tactics, which gives players more strategic options for gameplay. Unlike sentries, however, guards will act as a team to attack players, or help other guards on their team.

You can determine whether players can hire guards or not, and if they can be hired you can customize many additional options related to hiring. You can also enable players to give hired guards commands, using the Can Be Given Commands option. Players can use the middle mouse button, or press the left arrow on the D-pad, to open the Command Wheel.

Contextual Filtering

Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This feature will reduce clutter in the Customize panel and make options easier to manage and navigate.
