Bots shoot at something inside a wall...

I've just finished waypointing cs_castlewof, a pretty cool castle map. There's an exhibition where various swords are displayed, including the light saber from Star Wars. In front of the niche with the lightsaber grip, there's a button, and if you push this button, the laser blade appears for a few seconds. Nice gimmick, but somehow the bots have problems with it. They don't push the button, and that's good, because I didn't want them to. However, they shoot at something behind the glass until they're out of ammo, and then they keep standing there with their knife...
This reminded me of cs_assault, where I saw bots hit the wall to the left of the door that leads to the hossie room (viewed from the warehouse side) with their knife forever.
I suspect that there are some entities that somehow make bots attack them as a target - but since this target is (a) somewhere inside a wall and (b) indestructible, bots get stuck.
I scanned the BSP for suspicious entities, and these are the ones I found near the location of that darned light saber:

Code:

{

//This could be the blade itself, dunno...

"origin" "-162 1656 54"

"targetname" "LSchwert"

"LightningEnd" "LS_ende"

"LightningStart" "LS_start"

"TextureScroll" "35"

"texture" "sprites/laserbeam.spr"

"BoltWidth" "10"

"Radius" "256"

"rendercolor" "223 0 0"

"renderamt" "255"

"spawnflags" "2"

"classname" "env_beam"

}

{

//multi_manager... no idea what exactly this is, but it's my hottest

//candidate for the troublemaker in question...

"origin" "-142 1706 47"

"slicht#1" "5"

"slicht" "0.8"

"krass" "0"

"LSchwert#1" "5"

"LSchwert" "0.8"

"targetname" "LSchwert_mm"

"pitchstart" "100"

"pitch" "100"

"health" "10"

"spawnflags" "1"

"classname" "multi_manager"

}

{

//Is this the start point of the blade animation?

"origin" "-156 1687 44"

"targetname" "LS_start"

"classname" "info_target"

}

{

//...and this the end point? the Z value is higher, with x and y being

//identical; this indicates that something moves up - just like the laser

//blade that shoots up from the grip.

"origin" "-156 1687 82"

"targetname" "LS_ende"

"classname" "info_target"

}

{

//when the blade shoots out, it shines red - this must be the light effect. 

"origin" "-156 1687 64"

"targetname" "slicht"

"style" "33"

"_light" "255 13 13 100"

"spawnflags" "1"

"classname" "light"

}

{

//I guess this the button that activates the effect...

"model" "*15"

"wait" "5"

"speed" "5"

"targetname" "LS_button"

"target" "LSchwert_mm"

"rendercolor" "0 0 0"

"angles" "0 180 0"

"spawnflags" "1"

"classname" "func_button"

}

{

//this bit here must be the humming sound that plays once the blade is out

"origin" "-156 1687 60"

"message" "ambience/wof_ls5s.wav"

"targetname" "krass"

"pitchstart" "100"

"pitch" "100"

"health" "9"

"spawnflags" "50"

"classname" "ambient_generic"

}

Does anybody have an idea which of these things could cause problems?
