(the bar to the right)

Now what the heck was this really called? I can't seem to find any tutorials at all on the matter! I'd appreciate any help and tips I can get! =S

I've only ever heard it referred to as a 'twister'.

Ignore parapete, he doesn't know what he's talking about. That effect is called a 'twister'.

STFU you 2! Excuse me for those guys. It's a twister.

It might be the wickid twizter... Search for sine/cosine on google. might help.

it's a wordless goacandy-scroller

It's a twister, Auntie-Em.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that was what we called a "twister".

Gloom: You're wrong on that matter! It's called a twister.

@cloaked: don't listen to anybody in here! i can pinpoint a twister if i see one.

reading my post a second time, i don't think the irony came through: of course it's a twister.

It's a twister bar that might also be called a rubber bar or something?

No, it's not. It's a twister. Get a clue guys!

I've always called it the 'potato effect', because the very first heightmap we used made it look like, well, a rotating potato...

well in texas they call that a twister, but in the real world i would call it a twister though.

@cloaked: I'm really sorry for these assholes. They always like to have fun with people. What it really is a twister.
