When I say day and night, I mean like Akama's, but when I use Akama's shadow meld it removes the icon. I want the icon to be seen, so how do I do it?
Akama's shadowmeld only works at night.
I believe this ability that you request doesn't exist, so you'll have to make it.
You need any kind of channelable ability (I recommend the one called channel).
When a unit starts channelling that, then you give permanent invisibility to the unit. Then you periodically check if the unit is still channelling this(if the current order is the same as the order ID of channel). If it's not, you remove permanent invisibility and stop checking that unit.
Yes, I'm talking about triggers.
Akama has Permanent Invisibility and Shadow Meld (Akama) abilities. Permanent Invisibility makes a unit always invisible except when attacking, and Shadow Meld (Akama) only shows the Hide icon.(active at day and night)When I say day and night, I mean like Akama's, but when I use Akama's shadow meld it removes the icon.

Why don't you use both abilities? One for the icon and the other one for the invisibility effect.Yeah, that's what I was saying. The Permanent Invisibility one, if only I could get the icon to appear.
The problem is that akama's shadowmeld is disabled during day.
No it isn't... I tested.The problem is that akama's shadowmeld is disabled during day.
All abilities have an order ID. You can see it in the Text - Order String - Use/Turn On field, but I think that changing it won't work for most abilities.I don't get the "ID" part
Alright, I got half of what you said about the channel ability, but I don't get the "ID" part
No it isn't... I tested.
If you want further help, you should post those triggers or some kind of test map. Also, a unit is always invisible during the day and night if it has Permanent Invisibility (unless when attacking), so it should work at day time as well.Alright, I tested it, I had triggers set where if you go to a bush, or a haystack, you will become invisible. Unfortunately, when I tested it out, when it became morning, I couldn't become invisible.
