What about AILevel?

[Cyanide]

That doesn't deserve any response other than read the docs.

any hints how to increase the guard chance of ai?

[Seravy]

First, add this :

Code Select Expand

[State -1]
Type=Changestate
Triggerall=Ingurddist
Triggerall=var(59)>0
Triggerall=ctrl
Trigger1 = random< (var(50)*2+(AiLevel>=3)*30)
value=120

[State -1]
Type=Assertspecial
Triggerall=StateNo!=[120,160]
Trigger1=var(59)>0
flag=noairguard
flag2=nocrouchguard
flag3=nostandguard

(Where var(59) is the AI on/off variable and the random line decides how quickly/often it'll guard.)
Then add !inguarddist triggers to most attacks moves (except the fastest ones) to make sure your AI is not starting to use slower attacks while being attacked, giving the guarding more chance to trigger.
Additionally, you'll need to edit all your common guard states to make sure the AI is not stopping guarding too early.
