Can Npc fight for the player

Can any friendly npcs fight the evil stuff and not the player?
I wanted to make the player to start in a war, goblins vs humans.

I want to have a npc to help the player fight the goblins, but it seem to be impossible, because if i give the npc stamina, it would attack the player and not the goblins

No, there is not currently any support in the Coldstone engine for NPC vs. NPC combat and NPC allies to the player. A few workarounds have been suggested in the past (try searching this board to find them), but they're all pretty kludgy in my opinion.

1.To do exactly what you want You could use a turn based system.

2.You could give an NPC stamina as a spell caster and cast negative spells not at you but at allies. But that will not allow the humans to fight together aganst the goblins it will turn into a huge free for all.

3. You could just show the NPC's fighting in an animation. Although you would be unabe to aid in the outcome of the battle.

What about having two "players"?

Nope, sorry. Coldstone creates single player games only.
