Guard code to the justice system

Will guards summoned in this way be able to find their way through doors, no_mob rooms, and other obstacles? Do they return to their posts after the attacker has been stopped? And do they continue to chase after the PC, or report the PC, if the murder is sucessful before any of the guards arrive?

Theoretically, could you fix this for normally sentinel guards by putting a time prog on them, so that every game hour they mpgoto, or more realistically, mpwalkto back to their post if their position is not fighting?

Of course, that would be extra lines of code over just putting the vnum for guards on a wandering mob

Also, does this guard prog make the mobs ignore ACT_NOWANDER or NOMOB rooms?

So, basically, the alarm gets sounded, and they swarm

nice....

Several guards, or only one?
