It could, the wave animation might need to be shrunk down to large ripples instead of waves, but you can make those waves travel as fast as you want in any direction. That’s a good idea actually, I’ll play around with it on the weekend and let you know if I get it working. Sounds like a fun challenge! 
Glad you like it! Let me know of any other features to add to it (underwater/swimming will be added in next update).
And yes, I do have some form of Unreal OCD (UnOCD?) where I can’t stand a mess of wires, hope it helps to make it easier to understand!
