Movement problems

pweegar · 07-10-2002, 08:02 PM

Hello fellow NWN players. I've had a couple of problems that are VERY strange. Seems on a couple of occassions My character (A human ranger) gets STUCK. Yep.. he gets stuck. Can't move. First time it happened my companion (big ole brown bear) and I were running down a hall.. Turned a cornwe.. I clicked way to fast and ran into a wall. Bear was right beside me. He wouldn't move and I couldn't.. In any mode.. just stuck.

Second time, bear and I were entering a door with a spider behind it (In the docks)I opened the door, bear went thru, I accentidently closed it (I guess i hit the door and it closed). Spider and I saw each other.. Kept getting the message that the target was unreachable. Thru a flippin door????!!! It was so bad I rested my character!!! Poor bear bit it tho...
Was wondering if it's happened to anyone else. BTW yes I patched to 1.19 or whatever it is...
Weird. After quitting the game and restarting, all seems to be ok...

Yeah it seems you have to keep away from corners lest you get suck on them. Of course, you can just move to the side and get around them, but if being attacked you are sometimes stuck with the fight ready or not.

As for the door thing, sometimes a monster can hit you, but you cannot hit them because they are out of reach. And yes, I remember once the door opening and I accidentally closed it but the frikken monster was still able to hit me (through the closed door?). So I now try to not stand "directly" in the door way, but one step back so I don't have that problem again.

Had one fight the other day where the monsters actually opened a door and came and attacked me (didn't know they could open doors, not sure if that's a bug or not).

if you are stuck you have that wonderful little stone helper that allows you to warp back to the temple. providing you are talking about being stuck on the wall and not being able to move away from it.it will warp you back to the same area but not in the same stuck spot.

Often, saving and reloading will fix any such problems.

If your animal companion is blocking you, unsummon it.

A lot of times, I'll try to move somewhere, and the pathfinding can't find a way to get me there. Clicking an intermediate location will get me moving again.

not positive but i think what he is trying to say is hes not actually blocked in by a henchman or familiar but he is actually stuck on the wall. he cant move even though he has a clear path to get out.i have encountered that problem before i have even seen it online with other people.

Yes, I mean my character can't move.... at all.. blocked or not. Happened AGAIN last nite. My henchman quite following me.. I went back to find him. This time he was in the middle of a hall way. I issued the follow me order.. The text message says he would comply .. The vocal part sounded like something from the chipmonks nad then no movement from my character (AND my henchman, disappeared!! Completely. I rotated the camera all around and he was gone...)

Frustrating to say the least
