[Spell] Custom True Sight problem

Hi, I've got a problem with the True Sight ability. Basically I need a True Sight which would only be able to detect Invisible units (not Burrowed units), however when I select the "Invisible" option from the "Data - Detection type", it detects both, and when I select the "Burrowed" option it detects none.

Alternatively, I would also suffice with a True Sight able to detect only Organical invisible units, however I didn't come up with a good "Targets Allowed" setting.

My question is, is anything like this possible? Does anyone have any experience with such a selective true sight thing?

Burrowed detection is broken. More information - http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=81742
Abur, Abdt (Burrow, Burrow Detection): All units that have the burrow ability are only visible to their owner. Abilities that are supposed to detect hidden units have a flag if they can detect burrowed units, unfortunately it seems Blizzard never really implemented the difference between burrowed and invisible.

You can use Animation - Set vertex colouring (to 100% transparent) locally for each player.
