OSI style AI_Guard

Wow, first post in this forum section!

Enabling OSI style Guard AI

Suppose you do something silly in town, and get guard whacked. Well right after a friend ressurects you. You notice "Hey that guards grey to me" and you attack him only to find he just stands there like a moron taking the damage you deal out. Well here is a modified BaseGuard.cs that will solve this problem, It is only edited in 2 lines and is clearly tagged where it has been edited. I dont think attachments are functional here yet so ill post the code.

Replace your old BaseGuard.cs with this
BaseGuard.cs

using System;
using System.Collections;
using Server.Misc;
using Server.Items;
using Server.Mobiles;

namespace Server.Mobiles
{
	public abstract class BaseGuard : BaseCreature //EDIT:Changed inherited Class
	{
		public static void Spawn( Mobile caller, Mobile target )
		{
			Spawn( caller, target, 1, false );
		}

		public static void Spawn( Mobile caller, Mobile target, int amount, bool onlyAdditional )
		{
			if ( target == null || target.Deleted )
				return;

			foreach ( Mobile m in target.GetMobilesInRange( 15 ) )
			{
				if ( m is BaseGuard )
				{
					BaseGuard g = (BaseGuard)m;

					if ( g.Focus == null ) // idling
					{
						g.Focus = target;

						--amount;
					}
					else if ( g.Focus == target && !onlyAdditional )
					{
						--amount;
					}
				}
			}

			while ( amount-- > 0 )
				caller.Region.MakeGuard( target );
		}

		public BaseGuard( Mobile target ) : base( AIType.AI_Melee, FightMode.Agressor, 18, 1, 0.132, .4 ) //EDIT:Increase the ".4" to decrease guards moving speed.
		{
			if ( target != null )
			{
				Location = target.Location;
				Map = target.Map;

				Effects.SendLocationParticles( EffectItem.Create( Location, Map, EffectItem.DefaultDuration ), 0x3728, 10, 10, 5023 );
			}
		}

		public BaseGuard( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
		{
		}

		public override bool OnBeforeDeath()
		{
			Effects.SendLocationParticles( EffectItem.Create( Location, Map, EffectItem.DefaultDuration ), 0x3728, 10, 10, 2023 );

			PlaySound( 0x1FE );

			Delete();

			return false;
		}

		public abstract Mobile Focus{ get; set; }

		public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
		{
			base.Serialize( writer );

			writer.Write( (int) 0 ); // version
		}

		public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
		{
			base.Deserialize( reader );

			int version = reader.ReadInt();
		}
	}
}

On the second edit-comment in the code your instructed how to speedup/slowdown the guards movement. You can also change the guards AItype if you want them to be mages, or whatever. Hope this helps someone out there.
