Trying to summarize the title in 4-5 words...

Anyhoo, I want to know if I'm doing this right, or if there's a more effective way to do this. I'm trying to use GUI, but Jazz/vJazz/Smooth Jazz will also work.

Yeah... Not sure how to phrase, "Am I doing this right?"...

Oh... Well then... how do... Uh... Huh. I guess I should get a dummy caster to cast a modified Black Arrow or something...

Thanks, I was wondering about that (Was waiting to get hero/team/difficulty selection coded GUI'd before testing).

EDIT: What about now?
