Raise Terrain (Bell works best)> Lower the center of your to a lower height > Add in water > Add death Regions > Reference in .lua > Done.

Cheers. It's really just a matter of making a hill with effects and a damageregion.

All you need to do is stick an object in there to which you can attach effects, and sink the object below the terrain. Objects (which are invisible) like kas2_prop_splash (or something like that) have multiple hardpoints to attach to and work well.

"AttachEffectToMatrix(lua_State* aState);"

This is a LUA function from the SS list I'm not sure but I think a matrix is a terrain grid location. Might want to mess around with it; AttachEffectToMatrix(EffectName, ALocation). If you can't get it to work by typing in locations directly, try this:

local locDest = GetPathPoint(PathName), and then AttachEffectToMatrix(EffectName, locDest)

This was you could try spawning effects on a path, so to speak. I salvaged some of the code from the Teleport thread.
