Hi there,

i´m thinking about how to create npcs in my multiplayer game?

If i enet_ent_create them and move them around the problem is that they dont do the same things on every client. I want to read out the health an mana and so on and every player should see the same. ALso see the entity on the same position.

But i cant send the pos from every npc. How shall i manage that?

Especially asking Dark_Samurai

You will have to send and update the positions of the npc. The npc movement should be done on the server and the server should also send and update the positions of the npc to all clients. Theoretically it's not that important that npcs have always absolutely the same position on all clients, so you shouldn't update the positions to often and waste to much traffic for that.
For health etc. use skills (also controlled by the server). Then send the skills per enet_send_skills() to the clients (if the skills have changed).

And when is the best moment to create the entitys on the server? THere´s a difference between Action on local machine and action on all others. I´m talking bout that.

if(enet_ent_creator(enet_ent_globpointer(my)) == enet_get_clientid()) //if this function runs on the client which created the entity
{
}
else //if the host didn't created the entity
{

Will people see the animation off the npc and all those questions.

Maybe you can write simple npc functions that works. THat would be really great

There is an open source code from Schokokeks available somewhere in the forum Resources. You can learn from that.

The server should only send the position and probably the state, animation and such can be generated on the client's pc.

Nothing is done automatically here. enet_ent_create() only calls the normal ent_create() function on every connected host. It has nothing to do with animations or other stuff. If you want to start an animation, you could set a skill to 1 and send the new value. On the client you check if the skill is 1 and start the according animation.

If you haven't read the 3d chat tutorial yet, I would advice you to do so. I guess this will clear up some problems.
