loco: i just use c_move to get to the next position, this is the complete code of the fakeentity at the client. hostplayerposition is the vector iam sending.

Code:

---

function hostplayerfakefunction()
{
	
var unit_speed[3];
var dire[3];

	var currentposition[3];
	
	my.mode = mode_stand;
	while(1)
	{
		//stand
		if(my.mode == mode_stand) 
		{
			my.anim_index += time;
			ent_Animate(my,"stand",my.anim_index,anm_cycle);
			
			// new different hostposition incoming -> go move there
			if(abs(my.x - hostplayerposition.x) + abs(my.y - hostplayerposition.y) > 15)
			{
				my.mode = mode_walk;
			}
			
		}
		
		// walking to hostplayerposition
		if(my.mode == mode_walk) 
		{	

		
			while (my.mode == mode_walk ) // stop near the target
			{
 

				
			// always face next position
			vec_set(temp, hostplayerposition);
			vec_sub (temp, my.x);
	  		vec_to_angle (dire, temp); // rotate the unit towards the target 
	  		my.tilt = 0; // we only need the correct "pan" angle, not tilt
	   	unit_speed.x = 1.5; // unit speed
	   	
	   		// turn
				if(((my.pan < dire.pan + 5) || (my.pan > dire.pan - 5)) && (abs(my.x - hostplayerposition.x) + abs(my.y - hostplayerposition.y) > 10 ))
				{
					my.pan = my.pan + ang(dire.pan-my.pan) * 1 * time;//i am turning
				
				}
	   	
			c_move(my, unit_speed, nullvector, ignore_me + ignore_you + IGNORE_CONTENT + ignore_sprites + ignore_passable );
			
		
			// trace to geht right height to terrain
			vecFrom.x =my.x;
			vecFrom.y =my.y;
			vecFrom.z = 200;
			
			vec_set(vecTo,VecFrom);
			vecTo.z = -200;
			
			c_trace(vecFrom,vecTo, IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_PASSABLE|IGNORE_CONTENT|IGNORE_SPRITES|USE_POLYGON); 
			vec_set(temp_loc,vecTo);
			my.z = target.z + 32;
			
			// animate
			my.anim_index += 5 * time;
			ent_animate(my,"walk",my.anim_index,anm_cycle);

		
			// are we near the last received hostposition? and z is 1
			if (abs(my.x - hostplayerposition.x) + abs(my.y - hostplayerposition.y) < 5 && hostplayerposition.z == 1)
			{
				my.mode = mode_stand;
				hostplayerposition.z = 0;
			}
			
			wait(1);
			}

			
		}
		wait(1);
	}
	
}

william: very very much thanks for your contribution, ill have a look at your method later in the afternoon. i guess setting directly doesnt take that much ressources like c_move also... however i assume you are using c_move for the server player? do you?
