NPC Character Definitions

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, and if they can be hired, you can customize additional options related to hiring. You can also enable players to give commands to hired guards 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.
