TerrainDeformRipple

[Makier]

Can anybody explain me how this function works? I mean what does each taken value(parameter) do? I dont know how to configurate it to get the best effects...

//
native TerrainDeformRipple          takes real x, real y, real radius, real depth, integer duration, integer count, real spaceWaves, real timeWaves, real radiusStartPct, boolean limitNeg returns terraindeformation

Not 100% sure here...

takes real x, real y, real radius, real depth, integer duration, integer count, real spaceWaves, real timeWaves, real radiusStartPct, boolean limitNeg returns terraindeformation

X & Y are the central co-ordinates of the deformation (in game units, look at the bottom left corner of the World Editor on the "in-game" screen)
The radius is the FINAL radius of the ripples.
Depth is how deep (or high) the deformation goes.
Duration is how long it lasts.
Count is the number of "ripples"
SpaceWaves is the gap in between each wave (in game units)
TimeWaves is how long in seconds each wave lasts for (not sure)
RadiusStartPct is the ratio between "start radius" & "final radius"
LimitNeg is to stop the ripples from become "inverted mountains" (not sure)

EDIT: If all else fails, just get JassCraft or some other utility like it and check out how the BJ translates from what you give it to what this function takes.
