One simple thing you can do in the code to move the effect toward this is:

on resetRing
   ...
   set height of pRing to 30 -- existing line of code
   set lineSize of pRing to 8 -- my inserted line
   ...
end resetRing


on ripple
   ...
   set rect of pRing to tRect -- existing line of code
   put lineSize of pRing into x -- my inserted line
   set lineSize of pRing to x+1 -- my inserted line
   ...
end ripple


I really should be working... but it's Scott's fault. His visual things are way 
too seductive.  :o)
