− | Tracking refers to when a guard has been alerted and is trying to find Bond, without having a direct line-of-sight to Bond. For example, if you make a lot of noise, guards are going to start running towards Bond's position, even though they've never seen him stand there. Similarly, if you let a guard see you, then run and hide behind a wall, the guard is going to run after you. | + | Tracking refers to when a guard has been alerted and is trying to find Bond, without having a direct line-of-sight to Bond.

| So how does a guard know where to run if he hasn't seen Bond? Well, the answer is pretty obvious: Bond's position gets copied, and then stored among the guard's data. | | So how does a guard know where to run if he hasn't seen Bond?

| + | Some guards use non-standard scripts. Caverns blue hat guards/Control black hat guards have no timit limit and will always choose to continue running after reaching the copied position. However, on a level like Control DLTK, we could still easily manipulate the black hat guards to go around in circles. You just have to make sure you stand in a good spot once they reach your previous position.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=18518.msg408769#msg408769|title=the-elite forum post on guard tracking (followup)|access-date=July 16, 2021}}</ref> |
