Downed colonists in doors become objects pawns can't pass through, but others can shoot through them. Hostile pawns that can only melee attack are not able to engage ranged units standing on the opposite side of a door with a downed colonist.

Repro steps:

0. Create an enclosed area with a door as its entrance.
1. Have a melee-only hostile. Manhunter, melee fighter, what have you.
2. Place multiple ranged units inside the room, and one colonist in the door.
3. Down the colonist in the door.
4. Observe how the melee-only hostile will not engage with the ranged units on the opposite side of the door, behind the downed colonist.
