Is there some way to create a "heat wave" effect, i.e. some kind of pixel shaders?

You would have to make the shader yourself, and I'm not sure if it would work in FPSC x10.

I think it's called the wibble effect.

its acurly wibblyreleif

I dont think a heat wave effect would be possible without coding it into the x10 source which cant be done since its a closed source.

It could be done with some decals I guess, when a player is far away it changes texture to a heat wave one, and when he/she gets closer it will turn into a blank one.

Use a window with a refraction effect.

You currently cannot use shaders on decals. I thought you may have been talking about wibblyrelief, but I knew that wasn't a heat wave thing.

Or... use a wibbly relief with a flat object that has a nearly transparent texture and collision off...

Use paint.net, create a new pictue, erase the white space. Throw in some squiggles or some thing with a transparency of like 70%. Save that and use it as a texture, should work.
