Suction?

I was thinking of making a map on a star cruiser or something, with somethig that you could call a fully-destructable environment (as in walls will have health and such) and was wondering: Is it possible to make a short blast of "suction" that pulls you out into a damage region on destroying an object?

Well, I'm not sure if you could do this, but when a unit dies, its got all the percentage chance of dropping certain items. You might be able to make it force pull in there, but make it pull in a circle.

It depends on how you want to do it. This sounds like something I remember from Jedi Outcast, so I was thinking maybe using an invisible turret that fires a strong Force Pull could do it.

Yes. In the explosion odf of the weapon, Make the value for Push negative, and it will pull units roughly towards the source of the explosion. You won't get a black hole effect however, with them all being sucked into a single point, they will all just get tossed in the general direction of where the explosion was.
