Hello, sorry for the very late reply.

From what I can see, this is working as intended: you are controlling the guard’s behavior through the Focus function. If you want him to attack the player, you need either to do a race with Focus and Attack. Or you can use the Tether function to prevent him from moving.

guard_static_attack_behavior := class(npc_behavior):
  OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void =
      if:
          Entity := GetEntity[]
          GuardActions := Entity.GetComponent[guard_actions_component]
          GuardAwareness := Entity.GetComponent[guard_awareness_component]
      then:
          loop:
              Target := AwaitDetectedNPC(GuardAwareness)
              race:
                  # Keep the guard facing the target (LockFocus defaults to true).
                  GuardActions.Focus(Target)
                  # Shoots from the current position. No MoveInRangeToAttack, so no movement.
                  GuardActions.Attack(Target)
                  AwaitTargetForgotten(GuardAwareness, Target)
              # Stops a tight loop if Attack fails at once (for example, the target is no longer detected).
              Sleep(0.0)

  # Returns the first detected target that is not friendly.
  AwaitDetectedNPC(GuardAwareness:guard_awareness_component)<suspends>:entity =
      loop:
          for:
              Info : GuardAwareness.DetectedTargets
              Info.Attitude <> team_attitude.Friendly
          do:
              return Info.Target
          GuardAwareness.DetectTargetEvent.Await()


  AwaitTargetForgotten(GuardAwareness:guard_awareness_component, Target:entity)<suspends>:void =
