Aftermath - door closing when heroes in its space

By ionic, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

My group played Aftermath on Thursday night. When the door closing event triggered, two heroes were in the spaces that the closed door would occupy. The rules weren't clear on what they should do so we agreed that the heroes would be pushed back to the spaces outside of the door. Is this what we should have done? If not, what is the correct approach?

Do doors actually occupy spaces? I always thought they occupy the line between spaces, like a wall.

Correct

Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense.

Doors can close on a large figure whose base occupies the line where the door closes. The rule for this is explained in "Push" under the 4th bullet point.

If a non-ability effect pushes a figure, such as a mission rule or

if a door closes between two spaces occupied by a large figure,

the player controlling that figure determines its placement.
