The new editor lets you insert custom text at the top of the .j file. This means that stuff like SuperIKI's dialog engine and stuff like that doesn't have to be the first trigger anymore, you just put it in at the front of the .j in the GUI. This also means the trigger repository is gonna be alot more useful, because if you define a function in it, it works in other triggers, and you can now use custom text inbetween GUI triggers.

Finally -- the trigger repository will be useful!

Does this also mean that functions can actually take arguments too?

fuctions can always take arguments, your confusing them with triggers.

Well, whenever I tried to write a function in JASS that takes arguments, it gave me errors.

You ought to post your code here. Functions with arguments have always worked.

Stay tuned - July 1st I'm gonna release what might be the first easily copy and pasteable functions for TFT (it's a blood effect anywhere you want on units, looks bitchin') ;)

Another note -- now you can mix GUI with custom text. I can have 3 actions put down in the GUI, then a line of custom text, then some more GUI actions. This means it'll be especially easy for even people who don't know JASS to use functions that people make :)
