Im trying to figure out how to make a ability to throw a grenade, but not just hit the ground and explode type thing, where it bounces around for like 5 seconds and then explodes.. if you know the trigger, or JASS script, id really apreciate it if you could help me out

so basically you want exactly what elimination tournament does
cool item indeed =D (although i think they use a vector system which i dont wanna dabble with =/)

- the idea would involve the use of a ground-targeted base spell
- creating and manipulating a locust unit with the model of a grenade (ex. brewmaster bottle)
- manipulating flying height using parabola equation of this unit with periodic timer (toughest part id say)
- using a dummy unit to cast some aoe spell with explosion model when you remove this locust unit

well this is a quite complicated spell... would be a hell lot easier/easier to read in jass. Take a look at some jump spell as the idea is similar. you're on your own though since this is more complicated than I would ever want to do.
