[Trigger] Ability Problem

[Saishy]

I wanna do a ability that if you receive any kind of damage you becomes invisible and ignore that damage, but I find it very difficult to do.

Tried:

1- Unit is attacked + Unit is target of ability + 100% damage reduction
Results: Works perfectly for everything, expect for aoe damage, unit don't receive the damage, but don't become invis.

2- Unit life becomes less than + Instantly regen
Results: If the unit got some insane regen or healing it will never become invis.

-----------------

Someone have any ideas?

You can hav a trigger which detects damage and when a unit is damaged and got the ability you add hp to the damaged guy equal to the damage it takes and then create a dummy unit which casts invisibility on that guy.

Better way is
Event - Unit is attacked
Action - order attacking unit to stop
action - order dummy unit to cast human invisibility to attacked unit
but in this way no have attack animation and event no have attack

Event: Unit - Specific_Unit takes damage


So:
A unit leans the ability, add the event, that unit takes damage to another trigger.

Thanks! And how can I undo that? Its repeatable?

Clarification:
Is this ability passive or active? If active, what exactly does it do.
You want it to have cooldown?
Just give some more detail about this ability

It have a 60s cooldown, 3 heroes have that ability, its active.
Goes from lvl 1 to 5, each level increase the time you have to receive the damage, and the time you stay invis, going from 1s to 5s.

Thanks for the help ^^

Ok. I will make it in a moment.
Edit:
2 triggers:

• Learning
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to (==) Blah
    • (Level of Blah for (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) 1
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Takes Damage <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

• Takes Damage
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Berserk) Equal to (==) True
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local real udg_temp_real
    • Set temp_real = (Damage taken)
    • Unit - Remove Berserk buff from (Triggering unit)
    • Set temp_point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy This dummy has been exported from the SSE for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at temp_point facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
    • Unit - Add Invisibility to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Invisibility for (Last created unit) to (Level of Blah for (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Sorceress - Invisibility (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)
    • Wait 0.01 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + temp_real)

Base ability is a dummy self cast ability that gives a buff on the caster(like berserk). When a unit has that buff, receives damage, a dummy unit is spawned to make the caster invisible. And then life of the unit is increased by the amount of the damage. So if it is a killing blow, it will still kill the unit. You can use any other method you desire, of making the unit invisible or not taking the damage( like invulnerability).
Including a sample map.

That will not give any problems if I use it with many heroes or many times? The trigger will not get 500 events or more?

The add-event trigger adds new event only when the hero learns the skill for the first time, so it shouldnt cause any problems.

Thanks! Didn't see that xD
