Hey I'm revamping the NvS. Again. I've been working on this particular project for a little while and I have actually made quite a bit of progress since I started but haven't had the time necessary to dedicate to finish it as I'd like to, but I'm working on it.
Hell, idk why I'm even posting this, Ima probably be flamed again. At any rate I'll post beta versions and changelog here as I edit. The "beta" versions that I'll release will be protected (of course) but I will provide a resource with pictures and information on triggers and units used. In a sense, providing capacity for learning without the usual risk. Expect the beta version to be fairly polished.
If you've played the original NvS you know that, while fun, was
horribly made with definite room for improvement (which many editors, unsuccessfully, have tried) and I'm working on a complete overhaul of the original NvS.
Please place any ideas, suggestions, or comments here.BETA RELEASEVersion 3.1a beta is released. Should be attached to post.

THIS SHIT IS DRIVING ME INSANE:

I need an ability that:
-Can be used with "(Target point of ability being cast)" variable
-[b]Can target ground[/b] (preferably with an AoE display)
-Doesn't teleport the target (blink's teleport is hard coded -.-)
[b]OR:[/b]
-Another way to define the location of the point that the ability is being cast at. Note: "Issued Order" - can it refer to the ability cast?
