Quick door - physics question

[Incoming]

I haven't had any opportunity to check this by myself yet.
Is there anyone who knows this;

A door with a standard push-down handle, would it actually be possible to block the door by placing a barrel or wooden box or something right beneath the handle so it can't be pushed down. Would this keep the door from being opened or is the handle there just for a visual natural effect rather than of a physical use ?

Thanks !

( Btw, I love this game !!! ) <--- Just had to share.

Don't think so. The handle is just a little animation, it doesn't litterally open the door.

I think the handle is just for effect, but you could do this in a map, just by making the door open ONLY if the handles rotating entity goes all the way.

Actually it works in sp too... in one map ive seen barrel behind door blocking the handle... when i shot the barrel and tried to open door it opened... ^^

Why not just barricade the door on the other side?

Works I believe - Im 100% sure there was abit in single player where a plank was up against the door handle.

Its all about how you setup the entities, its not out-of-the-box functionality.
