Guards

Revision as of 02:37, 17 July 2021 by Whiteted (talk | contribs) (Corrected facts & removed irrelevant nonsense including everything under scientists. Again Types of guards should cite the scripts but needs a complete rewrite. Chaser stuff cut because this is basically just the one guard on streets. "Semi-chaser" is a term noone uses and I think tried to be a catch-all for a few things including blue hat guards on a levels i.e. caverns who take 10 second breaks.)

This is a description of NPC guards within GoldenEye 007

Facts

Guards (General)

  • Guards who dual-wield any weapon can never pull grenades. [1]
  • Guards have a 1 in 128 chance to do an idle animation per frame.[2]
  • For idle animations, guards have a 5 / 256 chance (~1.95%) to sneeze.[2]
  • Targeting guards that do a sharp angle change can become frozen, but it is unclear why. This only occurs on NTSC-U, and not PAL or NTSC-J. They must lose health to become unfrozen, but can later become re-frozen. All dual-wielding Moonraker guards and third Baron can also become similarly frozen with a rolling animation under more unknown specifics, but this can occur on all versions. [1]

Types of Guards

0002 Guard

The most common guard. Stays idle, runs to you/fires at you when he sees/hears you. Afterwards continues chasing your former positions until seeing you again or 10s passes, if the latter, becomes idle again.

Patrolling Guard

Normal guard but will initially be moving along a path

Targeting Guard

Aims at you and updates their angle continuously.

Cloner Guard

Normal guard, but capable of cloning if you haven't looked at him yet. They clone themselves and send off the clone instead, while staying in place and being otherwise idle. [3]

Spawn Guard

Guards who spawn after an event.
