Distortion Blur, Uh... distortion blur. Options

[Philip]

Ok to get what I mean you should have played some kind of RTS modern game like C&C3 Kane's Wrath. Basically I'd like to play an explosion animation and have that animation have a distortion blur that takes place like most of the explosions in Kane's Wrath. This may not even be possible but it'd provide some cool animation features if it could be done.

Anyways, if anyone has any thoughts on this or wants to attempt this please comment. This should be for VX.

Before and after blurred. Does it explain?

Before and after blurred. Does it explain?

OOOOK, I gotcha now (blonde moment LOL)! That isn't quite what I want. I want to blur the MAP under the animation. So searching through scripts this afternoon I came up with the ability to blur a sprite using: wave_amp, wave_length, and wave_speed. This works well except that I'd actually like to blur only part of the sprite at a time. I'm using a parallax mapping script and the ground layer (or in this case grass) is a sprite using a png image. That image is easily blurred using the above methods the only trick now is only blurring a certain area of that sprite (particularly where the animation is playing).
