Custom Functions:

Smooth

Smooth( sprite x, < position or #effectSymbol >)

Smoothn causes a one-time ‘smoothing’ effect .  The ripples are expanded and smoothed.  This is way cool.  Be careful of calling this function too much.  Repeated calls may cause a ‘snow’ effect. We recommend not calling smooth any more frequently than once every 40 frames.
