Squad member is stuck inside a building

[Skipachu]

Version:
0.22 Alpha

Description:
A squadmate is trapped inside the base of a building. The base of the building is an empty circle, so he can walk around. The base of the stairs is solid and he has to path around it, though.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Squadmate set to follow on main character
2. Main character walks into the shop to sell
3. Select the squadmate and then tell him to trade
4. Notice the squadmate has located himself under the trader insted of in front of him

Expected results:
Squadmate doesn't walk/fall through walls/stairs when trying to follow another character

Actual results:
Squadmate walked/fell through walls/stairs when trying to follow another character

Consistency
I haven't been able to reproduce this yet

Reported On:
4 March 2012

System specs/OS:
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

Severity:
Major

Workaround:
None
- Quick save/reload doesn't help (I saved after the first toon finished selling )
- Repeating movement commands to move to points outside of the building, follow other characters, attack bandits, etc do not work. He will move towards his goal and stop at the wall.
- New game importing squad doesn't work (I was hoping this would relocate all members to one location)

Attach the crash dump
- Game doesn't crash
- Addendum - It does crash when I try to take a screenshot from inside the building. But that's not a normal use case. This is the reason I played in windowed mode: Took a screenshot from Windows instead of in-game.

This happened to me one time also, I made him trade with the trader above him and then he started teleporting to the roof and falling back down reapeatedly. once i closed the trade menu he was standing on the shop desk.

@SilentHill - This seems to be a different sort of issue. When I tell this squad member to trade with the trader, he'll walk underneath the trader. This puts him at the appropriate latitude and longitude, but he's not at the right elevation. Because he's not close to the trader, the dialog box does not appear.

I did manage to walk him to the inside of the wall and my main character to the outside of the wall opposite of each other. This allowed me to trade between the two characters.

i had the same problem in the same place and posted similar screenshots. there appears to be multiple ways to get under buildings.

this will all be revamped in the next update, I'll modify import-squad as well so it relocates
