Thank you Bloodbane.....

Thank you, is there a script that can make this  have such a twisting effect?
Thank you Bloodbane.....

Hm.. i'm a little confused here. Is this topic a public personal message? Well very clever Sir  ;D

no necessarily. If there are good people who are willing to help me, I am also very grateful.
Thank you

This functionality is built into the engine. You just need to add a layer (either bglayer or  fglayer), with the appropriate watermode turned on. This will apply a sine wave to the image, which is exactly the effect you are asking for. From there just play around with the adjustments a bit until it looks the way you want.

But that effect is applied to the whole image, no? It seems that OP wants the sine wave effect to gradually affect the upper part of the image.

See also.. layers. That's how the pros do it and that's how OpenBOR works. You break your background design into layers, and work from there. For the example above, one layer has no sine wave, the next has a small wave, and the third a slightly larger one. Use the same speed for each, just with a bit more amplitude.

Wouldn't you be able to notice the cuts though? The waves wouldn't blend into one another. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Unless you cut the BGs at an exact measure and have the sin's start and end in a way that it exactly matches the cuts. That sounds like the type of workarounds that I do, that end up costing me many hours of work. Might make more sense to use script. But I might be talking nonsense.

mersox the same way you can notice the cut on that image. Its a bit tricky to do, but is doable for sure.

But I have to use it in the main body of (spawn01). So the ring has to be implemented with a script. Thank you.

Yes,  there is  on the upper level, but not on the lower level. Thank you.

Since my name is mentioned, I better replay

Anyways, I don't know if scripted drawmethod could make such wavy FX but I agree with Damon's suggestion above. Since it's only background not entity, bglayer could do the trick

This is not the background. I want to use it on the entity. If the script is not available, then I can only replace it with the play of the image on the entity. Thank you, Bloodbane for your answer. Thank you, !
