Templar is able to close gate on top of other Templars.  |

Were, you trying to kill your squad?
That's awesome. Same thing for xenos. I was sort of hoping that I could use that to my advantage, but no luck.

Looks like the best result may be to kill any Templar or alien occupying that square?

That would make for a great achievement!

Friendly fire is one thing, getting your butt stuck in the door is another. Perhaps some damage each turn your in it to represent the door crushing you as you try to keep it open?

Another option would be a "Door Failed to Close: Obstructed" message. Though I do sort of like the idea of doors killing anything that gets caught in them.

It'd be too easy a way to kill Xenos ... minimal heat generation, and if you block the door way, it can be exploited
I like the door obstruction thing. Look at Aliens ... when Hicks went and pushed the elevator door to get it closed after failing to rescue Newt, the Xeno was able to stop the door closing, resulting in Hicks being sprayed with acid when he tried to stop the Xeno from coming into the lift. How Ripley didn't get affected ... ?
Admittedly, these doors in the game are not mere lift doors, but you have to assume they were designed for normal operation rather than "xeno-killing duty". As such, there would certainly be sensors in the door to stop accidental crew/staff crushings. Workplace Health and Safety people! Imagine if that was your bedroom door, and you were entertaining a night-time visitor.
"Would you like to shift our action into the bedroom?" Anderson asked Kylie coyly? Kylie only nodded in agreement.
Anderson took Kylie's hand and led her into the dark bedroom. "Where is that lightswitch", he muttered under his breath, before hearing a sickening crunch, as the door slammed shut on Kylie, crushing her in an instant. "Damn, that's the fourth time this month!"

The gate could also still close at the next available moment, because there could be some exploits if a door is supposed to close but you park a soldier there to keep it open. I suppose that soldiers/xenos could also be auto-moved to one side of the door or the other too. You could get complaints about that, but it's better than squashing your Templars. But then I keep going back to how fun it would be to squash xenos too. I don't really think it would be that great of an exploit because a lot of people probably aren't going to figure it out and you have to get the xeno to stop on the exact square to squash them, so you'll still need some other defenses.

Somewhere deep in my brain I was aware that this bug existed, but hadn't gotten around to facing that fact and fixing it.
I think when I originally coded the door events I was thinking "there could be actors in these tiles...oh well."
