Summary
You know, now that I think about it, Creative/UEFN Guards are just lacking in general compared to Battle Royale. They don’t have any music, stingers, or voices. You can’t resize them. You can’t give them any special abilities. You can’t set them as a boss so that when they get marked, they have a crown icon. You can’t knock them down. They are stuck with the creative teams system instead of Battle Royale’s faction system, so there is no way to make them act neutral towards one set of guards, but hostile towards another, all while being passive to their own. You can’t set a guard to use a custom conversation that the player can activate by interacting with them. Finally, the guard’s name does NOT show up at the bottom of your screen when eliminated unlike Battle Royale (If it was spawned from an NPC spawner and had Can be Down But Not Out enabled, then the knocked message WILL show up but the elimination message still does not)
I mentioned custom conversations attached to guards above. I have some things to say about that too as right now you really can’t do much with conversations. You can’t attach it to guards, you can’t have requirements to use a certain response (which would be good for making shops similar to BR vending machines), you can’t change the icons of the response options for the Radial style, there is no Back node for some reason despite it existing and being used ALL THE TIME with Battle Royale NPCs. Literally all you can do right now is make basic interactions with some text.
