is it remotely possible to add magnets into BF 1942 as a weapon of mass... pulling?

It has a negative explosion force mod. nice. But, I want this to be a directed stream, not a pull-everything.

explodeNearEnemyDistance, small blast radius, negative force. If used on a full-auto FirArm, it should "pull" the PCO near you. This is just an idea/hypothesis.

BINGO!
That hit the sweet spot!
Swaffy, you are my Bf 1942 hero!
Theoretically, that should work. I haven't tested it, but I know it will.

ARRRRRG!
I just CAN'T GET IT TO WORK!!
apparently, I put the force mode to -9999999999999999999999999999 or something around that, and it won't MOVE! maybe it is hitting the target, not actually bursting early like it is supposed to. I know it is doing something, because when I shoot something with the magnet, it makes the vehicle shuffle sound, but at a very high rate. By that shuffle sound, I mean that sound heard when rubble of vehicles is doing its bouncy business.
here is the weapons file.

i did some tests with the explosionForceMax some week ago, seems 9999 is the highest usable value
the bfsoldier has a max setting for this, i dont know if its the same for vehicles but it might be worth a try
edit: use some real material for the bullet instead of 0, nr70 is one "neutral" material that does interact but not hurt anything
edit2: use ObjectTemplate.damageType 4 on the bullet

can the secondary damage be 0, or does it have to be 70 also?

not sure, its the secondary material that makes the splashdamage (bubble) the first is direct hit
try use materials already ingame, then when or if it works you can try other material thats not damaging
