+### Other box walkers (2026-11-07, objs2)
+
+Same pair scan, kind-specific rules (`Guards`, model list `editor.model.WaypointBoxes`):
+* **CowGuardSpawned** (spawned by CowGuardSpawner, same guard code): p0 view, p1 chase, p2 event
+  bit (spawner passes 0), p3 not read (overwritten by the box scan). Box rule as guards (unk2 = 0).
+* **CowGuardSpawner** (6 params, t1l8m005 ×8): `spawn<4,…>(v0, v1, 0, v5, CowGuardSpawned)` at its
+  own position with its chain, then `wait(v3·30)` until the player is > 1.5 cells away and fewer
+  than v2 of its guards live (the guard does `parent.v6 −= 1` when it dies). So p0 = view range,
+  p1 = chase range, p2 = max guards, p3 = interval (s), p4 not read, p5 = guard p3 (unused). The
+  spawner must stand in a box with unk2 = 0 or each guard is removed at once – 1 of 8 originals
+  (t1l8m005 strat 82) stands 0.12 outside (warning, not verified in game).
+* **Alligator** (no params; v0–v6 are locals), **SpawnedAlligator**: odd node count → "Odd number
+  of WPs!" + remove; outside every box → "Forcing alligator inside first WP box", clamped into the
+  first box. No unk2 rule. Bites only when `|player.floorHeight − y| < 0.2` and inside its boxes.
+* **AlligatorSpawner** (t1l6m003 ×2): p0 max alive (`v3 < v0`, `parent.v3 −= 1` on death), p1
+  interval s, p2 → spawned `collisionOn 0x8400` when set. The spawned alligator (spawner's chain)
+  walks straight ahead (`moveForwardQ`, spawner yaw) with a fade-in until it is inside the
+  *first* box – both originals stand outside it, facing it. Check: warning if the ray misses.
+Placement (every path through `Edits.placeStrat`): one 4×4 box around the object, unk2 = 0, guards
+event bit 0. In game (TestLevel 6 on t1l4m002): an Alligator added this way appears and snaps at
+the llama (`img/editor/obj_game_alligator.jpg`).
+
+### Event bits (global 95)
+
+Setters found by a sweep over the strat code of all 31 levels (`g95 = g95 | (1 << (v − 1))`),
+v = parameter: TipoVillage p6, ChacaVillage p6, SmashStatueSmall/Big/Door p0, RiverCrocGame p1,
+RiverTriggerBox p0, KidOnCanoe p4, YzmaRiver p2 and p6, Condor p2 (also clears it), GoldIdol p1,
+CityWall p4, NakedPeacock p0, LabSlidingDoor p5, LabSlidingDoorJamie p5, LabBigCutscene p1, LabWall
+p4, EndGameTriggerBox p0 (`EventBits`). No native code touches global 95. Check: lab level
+t1l8m001 – LizardGuardNoCoin bit 8 ← LabBigCutscene p1 = 8, GorillaGuard bit 30 ← LabWall p4 = 30;
+CowGuard bit 20 and CowGuardNoCoin bit 1 have no setter in the level (they never appear in the
+original either). `ObjectChecks` adds this to the guard info, naming the setter types of the base.
+
+### Start camera (Llama waypoints)
+
+Camera strat (spawned by the Llama with `self.hasWaypoints`), case g0 = 4 at level start, L_1330:
+walks the Llama's chain; the first node with `playerDistToWp < 2.5` becomes the camera position,
+yaw = angle to the player; if the node's wpParam (unk2) ≠ 0, also g47 = x/z distance and g48 =
+height difference, and g43 = 3 blocks the approach to the normal distance until the llama moves.
+The defaults are g47 = 1.0, g48 = 0.5 (Camera params from the Llama spawn). Originals: one node per
+entry door (unk2 4096 on some), none within 2.5 of the village starts. The old editor setup (and
+levelbuild) copied the prototype chain onto the llama: village 2's node 2 has unk2 = 4096 → camera
+in the llama's head until it moves (seen in game). Fix: `PlayerStart` (one node 2 behind, unk2 0;
+moving keeps door nodes). Village fly-by: CutSceneTrigger on the start, radius² 0.5; p6 bit 1 makes
+it (L_0148) rewrite its last path node to a point behind the player – set when the start moves.
