Problem with Ranged Attacks

hello,

Can anyone help me out with a problem.

My protagonist has started moving to melee range with an oponent to make ranged attacks. Not only does this put him exactly where I don't want him in every battle (he's an archer) and give his oponent +4 to hit but also, whenever he wants to let off a fireball or other area of effect spell (dualled to a mage) he walks right up to the centre of the blast before dropping it.

I've done a fresh install, patched it and installed a few WEIDU mods. I've tried all sorts of get arounds. Even carrying extra armour with my other characters to encomber him whenever combat starts so he can't move. Still refuses to shoot - just does nothing.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Nope, can you tell us exactly wich mods have you installed?

Perhaps its something with the scripting thing. Check it out, it might have something to say.

Ease of Use, Tactics, Item Upgrades, Unfinished Business, Ascension and Redemption.

I've a nagging feeling that this happened with one of the NPCs last time I played BG2 ages ago though. With no mods.

I dont think this is mod related... never got that issue on my computer. Now, IMO, thats not a script issue either. And yes, that must be boring... and a lot boring...

it works this way with all spells???

Scripts..

Check your scripts, assuming you have AI on - he should have ranged script. If that doesn't work, disable AI.
