Stuck sitting after script

Here's a weird one.  I have an AI on a patrol that was working fine, until I added a hacky little script.  I wanted to add shouldBeOn to a candle as the result of trigger, and my solution was to spawn a new identical candle with the additional spawnarg and delete the old one.  This all actually works great, the AI will notice and relight the swapped-out candle.  The weird part is that if you trigger my replacement script while the AI's sit animation is playing.  Then the AI gets stuck sitting and won't get up unless you alert him.

I pulled out a simplified section of the map to reproduce the issue.  When you start, the lever to trigger the replacement script is behind you.  If you do nothing, the AI will leave the candle unlit as expected.  If you pull the lever while the AI is walking, he will notice the candle and relight it.  And if you pull the lever while the AI is starting to sit, then he gets stuck there forever.

Any ideas?

Confirmed!  When you said this, I thought maybe spawning an object too close to the AI might be disrupting it, but it seems to work no matter where I move it.  Chalking this one up to the random map gremlins...

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
