a ramp to modulate a texture deformer

[m_schoettlYW77L]

hi, sorry for this beginer question: i have tried many things but still did not find the right connexion...

im trying to connect a ramp node to graduate the influence of a deform texture,

how am i supposed to connect them?

my scene is as so : 

a plane with a ocean texture as a deform texture (only on vector Z)

i want to ramp this effect on the X axis to make it null effect at its beggining and maximum at the end of the mesh.

thank you for your time!

hi there,

my settings for the textureDeformer node wasn't set up as they should :

pointSpace need to be set on UV,

now it is working just fine !
