A Summon Ability That Lets You Target A Point

[Kenito]

Can that be done? What I mean is, I want an ability to summon a unit (like Feral Spirit and all that stuff), but instead of the unit spawning in a random spot next to the caster, I want to be able to click on a location and spawn it there. The only ability I can think of that does this is the Pocket Factory, but there's no way to override the summoned unit spawning other units (the clockwerk goblins by default) - I could make it spawn ghost units with a very short duration, but that'd lag. Badly.

So anyone have any ideas? I also tried changing the string order ID to a skill that targets a point, still no good...

Will +rep if anyone can figure this out! It shouldn't be too tough, but I'm too lazy at this point and need some sleep.

Base it off channel and trigger the summoning.

These are your best bets, dark portal is purely point target as well as serpent ward, while infernal and force of nature have the aoe targetting image, but force of nature requires trees which is hard coded.

Also changing order string does nothing.
