dent

type: "dent"

A local "dent" (lens warp) around a point, or along a segment in line mode.

Fields

Every screen effect also accepts screen_layer and the shared definition fields (duration, easing, loop, persistent, fade_ticks, sound).

Field	Type	Default	Meaning
strength	float	0.6 (fades to 0)	Warp strength; positive pulls in, negative pushes out
radius	float	0.25	Dent size as a fraction of the screen
center_x, center_y	float	0.5, 0.5	Dent centre in UV (0..1)
line_mode	float	0	1 = segment mode (below)
x0, y0, x1, y1	float	0..1 UV	Segment ends for line mode; bind them to the world via bind: screen_x / screen_y
