[PD] droidparty's [touch] on 0.48-1 and "grid" like object in vanilla

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

please, what do these numbers/argument mean again? quite explicitly?

what are the options, what is 0, 1, 2, 3? Are there more? What used to be
"2"? What is "2" now?

Is there any documentation about this out there, what is this used for in
dynamic patching?

thanks
