|'''HERETICBOUNCES'''
|24
|Thing bounces like the Heretic mace spheres: if it's also a '''MISSILE''' without '''NOCLIP''' and touches the floor, its vertical velocity is reversed, and it's sent to its '''deathstate'''. Actual bouncing behavior will then need to be managed in the [[DeathBallImpact]], [[MaceBallImpact]] and [[MaceBallImpact2]] codepointers (or other user behavior) called during the death state, which may even remove this flag among other things.
|-style="background-color: #D9D9D9"
|'''MONSTERPASS'''
|25
|Thing passes through monster-blocking lines, without being a friend, projectile or a player.
|-style="background-color: #F5F5F5"
|'''LOWAIMPRIO'''

|Low autoaim priority, like friends or Heretic pods.
|-style="background-color: #D9D9D9"
|'''STICKYCARRY'''
|27
|Can carry other things on top of it. In addition, their movement acceleration is impeded while standing on it. You can use this to ride cacodemons.
|-style="background-color: #F5F5F5"
|'''SETTARGETONDEATH'''
|28
|Guarantees that their blame target is set properly upon death. This helps with chain reactions such as Heretic pods, where you can really get a frag for killing a player from a chain reaction.
|-style="background-color: #D9D9D9"
|'''SLIDEOVERTHINGS'''
|29
|If on top of other things, keep sliding without stopping.
|-style="background-color: #F5F5F5"
|'''UNSTEPPABLE'''
|30
|Thing cannot be stepped on like a stair. This is typical with all Heretic solid things.
|-style="background-color: #D9D9D9"
|'''RANGEEIGHTH'''
|31
|Consider range to target as 1/8 of its actual range when determining whether to attack during a [[Chase]] state. Typical due to Strife-specific behaviour.
