I just tries to make a some black hole that suck in dead bodies like as alive actors and uses for that A_RadiusThrust(-force), but can't figure how to make corpses be affected by thrusting.
Any suggestions?

Re: How to make corpses be affected by thrusting?
You have to somehow give them -DONTTHRUST, I'm not sure if anything else needs to be set, like SOLID or SHOOTABLE.
The brute force approach would probably be a ThinkerIterator that checks for corpses in the vincinity of the black hole.
Edit: Of course, their flag needs to be set before the force if applied.

SOLID + SHOOTABLE was the first flags that I've tried. Doesn't work, like as adding of -DONTTHRUST.

Hm...
Not sure why it works, but if virtually "raise" dead actor by giving to it a some health (A_SetHealth), set SHOOTABLE=1 AND force it to jump into its Pain state, then monster quickly dies again (black hole still continue damages all around) while actor will be affected by thrust for a while. o_0
Looks a bit awkward but though.
Probably I'll try to move it via _Warp, but have no mind for now how to link pointers from dead bodies to static black hole projectile...
