Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for Player 1 (Red) emitting Visibility across (Playable map area)
Game - Display to (All players) for 1000000000.00 seconds the text: System made by x-dardas.

How to import.
Very important:

go to the world editor,
up left (^^ <<)
press "File"
Then "Preferences"
Go to "General"
And press the "Automaticly create unknown variables while pasting trigger data"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy Knockback Loop to your map.
Copy Hashtable, and Hashtable 2 to your map aswell.

And you'r done and clear to use this system in your map.
(You must read how to use the system aswell.)
