[BUG] Guard Spawns Via Trapped Containers (0824)
Current Behaviour
When caught stealing from a container guards are summoned. Many of these spawn locations are illogical such as spawning directly beside the container or in the bathroom or some other obscure location.
Expected Behaviour
These should be adjusted to match all other guard summons: either the entrance or the stairs depending on the area you are in.

AR0011- (had to unlock and pilfer chest before Jardak got to me to get trigger) Guard entered at stairs
AR0012- Guard entered at front door
AR0015- (No initial reaction from Girl to unlocking the only locked chest right in front of her, but finally reacted when she wasn't even present.) Guards entered at stairs
AR0016- (Chest wasn't even locked, but...) Guards entered at front door
AR0018- (A third cabinet at 425,131 was locked, but didn't get guards called.) Guards entered at front door
AR0020- Guards entered at front door
AR0021- (No NPC around, so spawned NOBL10) Guards entered at stairs

AR0116- Guards entered at front door
AR0130- (The telescope one?) Guards entered at front door

AR0810- (Container 3 at 298, 347 is an empty barrel. It's next to the mechant, but still. And it brings no summoned guards. However the bookcase at 603, 416 (Container 4) had a gem in it and did trigger guards.) Guards entered at front door
AR1103- Guard entered at front door for all three (though Containers 2 & 3 were simple bookshelves)
AR1111- (Only Sunin there to witness theft, so it's possible (I did it) to get guards summoned and then fight guards and Sunin. Maybe better to remove guard summons?) Guards entered at front door.

NOTES:
*grumble* The coordinates noted in the pdf were for the trap, not the container... *grumble*
Often the guards spawned at the front door or stairs out of sight of the thief... which was actually quite cool. :-) But... I mean... not even just one guard spawn from the bathroom anymore? Spoil sport...
Try some of the upstairs of the homes in BG City. ;-) @Balquo probably knows the areas by heart hehe
[NOTE] For a good time unlock all of the chests in AR410 with your party consisting of a single level one thief then run around the room opening chests. Then begin the epic battle of the bhaalspawn vs 26 guards.
Here is one more but I've no idea how to get this to work in weidu so I'll just attach the file for now. When I try in weidu they all change - how can you specify to change only the last 4 to FLAMEN2?
Anyway... when you speak to Glanmarie in AR0143 you may get guards summons. They will summon beside her on the stairs but since 5 guards spawn some of them also spawn in the side room. Not only that but they are all initiate guards so once they see you all 5 will try to talk to you at the same time. I changed this and made them spawn at the front door.
I changed
CreateCreature("FLAMEN",[0.0],0)toCreateCreature("FLAMEN",[0.0],0)
CreateCreature("FLAMEN",[0.0],0)
CreateCreature("FLAMEN",[0.0],0)
CreateCreature("FLAMEN",[0.0],0)
CreateCreature("FLAMEN",[633.480],5)CreateCreature("FLAMEN2",[633.480],5)
CreateCreature("FLAMEN2",[633.480],5)
CreateCreature("FLAMEN2",[633.480],5)
CreateCreature("FLAMEN2",[633.480],5)
I could have sworn I read somewhere not to use replace_textually on dialogue files... but it seems to work fine
AR0617- one spawned at front door
AR4810- three spawned at front door with all 6 chests in the room... all facing the door they came in :-/
AR0143- very surprised to find guards arriving after having simply spoken to her given that she says nothing of calling the guards... but they showed up all at the front door.
