The Image:AlienInterference node creates a interface distortion effect on the players HUD. The strength of the effect is set by using the Amount input port. The higher the value set there, the more the HUD will be distorted. To activate the effect the Enabled port needs to be triggered with 1. The range of this effect is from 0 to 1.
