ive got a guard to get up there no problem.

Well, It is easy to get guards to come up on the towers in Dam, they seem to just walk into the ladder and fly up it.

But for Surface, the guards just wade around at the bottom of the tower..

I think Rare probably had it in mind, but scrapped the idea and left the presets behind by accident, or if activated through Action Blocks could probably work.

You never really know...

I remember trying this (and failing) in Silo, but I was a total newbie with action blocks at the time and it's possible I screwed something up somewhere. Now that I think about it, when I was trying to make my own ally blocks instead of copying Rare's I managed to make a guard that would shoot at other guards through any obstacle, so it could be done. Let me do a quick setup. Edit: Okay, this is strange. I made a sniper that checks 50 units around himself, if Bond's in that range he's supposed to aim at and shoot Bond. The problem is, it doesn't work, and it's not the block's fault. If I change the guard to shoot to another guard, it works perfectly fine. Is there anything special you need to do to shoot Bond other than using $F8 as the guard ID?

Bringing this up again, while playing Silo a few nights ago I noticed the Ourumov will shoot at Bond continuously, even when he's out of sight. I looked at his block, and it turns out actions 14 and 15 actually cause the guard to fire if XX2X isn't set (it's in the actions' descriptions, but I never realized how it worked before). Using that finding I whipped up this quick sniper:

Code:

0401: AD736E69706572 = sniper 93FF Set Character Accuracy  93 (FF) 0200 Resume If Return Value Loop Met 03 Leave The Routine, But When Return Continue From Spot 08 Briefly Aim At Bond But Do Not Fire 3C01 If Guard Within Firing Range, Return Value Loop 0100 Go To Beginning, Then Return Value Loop 0201 Resume If Return Value Loop Met 03 Leave The Routine, But When Return Continue From Spot 2F02 When Guard Stops Moving, Return Value Loop 0101 Go To Beginning, Then Return Value Loop 0202 Resume If Return Value Loop Met 33 Seed Random Byte 358003 If Seeded Byte > Value, Go Into Return Value Loop  (80) 140001000004 Guard Targets Guard, Return Value Loop  (Aim at Bond) 0203 Resume If Return Value Loop Met 150001000004 Guard Kneels, Return Value Loop  (Aim at Bond) 0204 Resume If Return Value Loop Met 0101 Go To Beginning, Then Return Value Loop 04 Terminator

Now he'll aim and shoot once he sees Bond, but the bullets are clipped by an invisible wall as soon as they get to the railing. It's frustrating, because as I said above you could easily have him hit another guard over the railing with no problem. That said, you could make an interesting sniper in Jungle for example. Stick them up in the tower and change the target to shoot to Natalya, it would make taking them out a high priority even if they aren't a direct threat to Bond.
