Why does ALL of my groupmembers just stop following their customized scripts, in Chapter 3?

Hi.
New here, but been playing Baldurs Gate since its release about 25 years ago.

Anyways. WHY the hell, is it the 2nd time I truly enjoy another few weeks with BG, just to see my groupmembers, stop following their customized (and still active) scripts??! Both times during chapter 3...and 5. Its their almost intelligent flow that lets me enjoy my adhd-medicated multi tasking these days.
(This time it happened JUST after finnishing "The Cult of the Eyeless")

Can someone please explain to me, like Im a 6 year old - with suspected autism?

Sincerely, J

    The simplest possible cause is that there's a button on the sidebar that deactivates party AI. Hit it, and those combat scripts might as well not be there at all. Hit it again, and those scripts are back.

    Other scripts, like the override scripts for recruited NPCs that control their questts and interactions, the global script that always runs, area scripts, and scripts belonging to creatures outside the party, are not affected.

    Ooooh my god. Pfft. Thank you so much. THAT button: Party AI On/Off + Reveal Details, are the only buttons I've never ever had use for. Just: Select All. Its ironic how I've been playing it D&D-mode and above, for 25 years...but in this case got demented year 1.

    Thank you. I just got 5 years older, mentally.
