Characters only move five steps and stop?

Rico

When I click on a spot on the map, my characters move exactly 5 steps and stop. This makes it a PITA to move a long distance across a map, as you have to constantly keep clocking on the same spot to get them to move all the way there.

Is there some setting I can change that will fix this?

Are you using any mods, or running vanilla BGEE? When did this first start - after installing patch 1.2? or was your game running fine for a while, and it started after a certain point (which) ?

A thing such as this would happen in original BG2 engine if the chosen character had a script assigned that would continuously try to make him perform an action (like initiate a dialog) which was failing for some reason. So if you're using some kind of custom/modded AI script, try disabling it. Failing that, try toggling AI off entirely (there should be a button on the right panel).

I'm not running any mods. His started when I installed then 1.2 patch. However, I am running it on my laptop for the first time. I'm still running around Candlekeep at the beginning of the game, so I only have my character in the party. I haven't tried running a game on my desktop yet, as I can't currently sit at my desk due to a medical condition. I do have one of the scripts active. I will try disabling it and report back.

Oop. The second sentence should read "This started..."

I was using the Fighter (Ranged) script. I tried going back to no script, and the problem went away. Then I reselected that script, and the problem did not come back. So it must have just been a glitch.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but felt like adding... I keep getting this in the Underdark section of the game. I have no mods running on my game at all.

@Athernaut check of you have items that regenerate (Ring of the Gaxx, Ring of Regeneration, Axe of the Unyielding, Peridian Dragon Slayer+2, etc) and remove them from your characters (leave it in the inventory, don't drop them, they are still useful but they cause this bug).

I think this was reported here as well. @Rico, when you say it's the Fighter (Ranged), I assume that's actually the one called Ranger Ranged (FIGHTER2)?

@Aethernaut, are you also using the same script?

I had that happen when my pc got really drunk... a couple of rests wore it off (it was still happening after the inebriation icon was gone). May not be the same issue, but I think mine had to do with the hiccups.

This happened to me with Rasaad when we were in Baldur's Gate (city)

I'm looking at @Rico‌ 's avatar and think that making even five steps is huge

Go into your character scripts and make sure no one is set to fighter defensive (fighter2). If its not that, its broke.

I just had to do this:
