* Human guards investigate their interest points by [[:peeking#Peeking by guards|peeking]], first to the right, then to the left in the direction them end their movement; while peeking, they have a wider effective [[:vision]] arc, and may [[#interest_point|notice]] an agent even behind [[:cover#soft cover]]. If a guard reaches his interest point orthogonally, he will peek from both his interest point and a tile in the front of him. If a guard reach his interest point in the front of a door, he will open this door before peeking. | * Human guards investigate their interest points by [[:peeking#Peeking by guards|peeking]], first to the right, then to the left in the direction them end their movement; while peeking, they have a wider effective [[:vision]] arc, and may [[#interest_point|notice]] an agent even behind [[:cover#soft cover]].
