In one room I'd like to have a guardian that animates (slow two-

JSWED) are 186 and 186, but it still jiggles up and down between two
points. How can I make one that stays on the spot?

Make sure the guardian speed value (to the right of the initial
vertical position) is set to 000. For the sake of elegance and to
avoid a split-second jump of the guardian when entering the screen, I
would also suggest setting the initial vertical position value to 186.

An alternative approach would be to create an unmoving horizontal
guardian. There is no difference between a motionless horizontal
guardian and a motionless vertical guardian, I think, although the
latter is better to use, because you can place it several times in the
same room, at different horizontal positions, which you cannot do with
a motionless horizontal guardian.
