Some editing questions for Hexen's weapons

I posted these questions on Doomworld some weeks ago, but couldn't get the answer there so I ask here.

1) How to make Hexen's Arc of Death not push back enemies
In Hexen, Arc of Death (Mage's 3rd weapon) has a small pushback when the lighting hits an enemy. This sometimes causes the lighting to end prematurely when it pushes an enemy to a wall. I want to remove/reduce the pushback for this reason.

I tried to add the +NODAMAGETHRUST flag to the inherited projectile actors (i.e LightningZap, LightningFloor and LightningCeiling) but that didn't work. Removing that flag and trying with a negative ProjectileKickback value also didn't work. One thing I have noticed is that when I increase the speed of the projectiles, the lighting pushed back enemies even more. So lowering the speed could reduce the pushback. However I don't want to lower the speed.

2) How to make Hexen's frozen enemies shatter with a key (of my choosing).
In Hexen, it is annoying to be forced to switch to another weapon when I freeze enemies using frostshards. I am looking for a way to somehow make Hexen's frozen enemies shatter with a key using Decorate/ACS. Ideally I would like if the key could be same as the "use" key, but some other dedicated key could also work.

I forgot to mention that I would ideally like to do this in Decorate/ACS, but if not then ZScript could do.

This could be solved by setting the [wiki=Actor_flags#ICESHATTER]ICESHATTER[/wiki] flag on the shard projectile actor.

Thanks. This seems more or less the type of solution I was looking for.

Atleast one of my questions is answered.
