Always need to include the version of POL you are running and if you are running POL Distro or not.
In the POL 95 Distro script named "townguard.src" located in \pol\scripts\ai this segment from the function "lookiehere" is what determines how the guard reacts in the presence of criminals.
Code:
function lookiehere()
foreach npc in ListMobilesNearLocation(me.x, me.y, me.z, 15)
foreach listing in keys
var range := SplitWords(cfgfile[listing].range);
if((npc.x >= CInt(range[1])) && (npc.x <= CInt(range[3])) && (npc.y >= CInt(range[2])) && (npc.y <= CInt(range[4])))
var timer := Cint(GetObjProperty(npc, "guardstimer"));
if((npc.criminal) and (!npc.dead))
if(timer < ReadGameClock())
SetObjProperty(npc, "#guardstimer", ReadGameClock() + 15);
Fight(npc);
endif
The "if ((npc.criminal..." is where that check is done. If one of the mobiles nearby is a criminal then the Fight function is called.
Your scripts should have something similar else your guards will just stand there.
