how can i attach a global (passable) entity to a local (clientside created) entity?

player = ent_createlocal("warlock.mdl", nullvector, movecode);
player2 = ent_create("guard.mdl", nullvector, followplayer);

movecode:

[...]
send_skill(player.x, SEND_VEC);
[...]


followplayer:
[...]
vec_set(my.x, player.x);
[...]


This should do it actually.

Quick itnerruption:

Does anybody know whether send_skill still works with Lite-C?

I've seen that new functions send_data/send_var have been added and now also work with Lite-C, but send_skill is not mentioned. Also the syntax of these instructions is surprisingly different, and send_skill is not linked from the other manual pages.

To me it looks like send_skill is outdated. Can anyone shed some light?
Having no send_skill would be very annoying!

thanks for your reply and i made some progress but im not there yet

the entity now moves with the -sv -cl, but i created it only on the -cl

it should move with the -cl player but it reacts when i move the player on the -sv -cl .what am i doing wrong?
