and some other abilities which can detect when the hero attack was an arrow, how this can be done? I mean autoactive , not manually triggered

Are you are talking about Burning Spear ?

So you want to know how to detect when its active or when the unit attacks with it on?

When the unit attacks with it on

Well, if the orb ability applies a buff its possible to detect it with GUI. (Not a hidden trigger buff)

Otherwise its done with JASS as all abilities and systems are made in DotA. I suggest you look through JASS threads if there is something similar.

EDIT: There is also a very simple way to do it with GUI but its not the same as Right-Click = on, Right-Click Again = off Left-Click = Target.

It uses the Immolate Principe.

  • Conditions
    • ((Entering unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Untitled Trigger 002 <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)

This skill do not damage the target instead it makes error that crush the game // removing the "unit - damage unit" will cause the game to go on normaly but the damage ofcourse wont be applied

instead of registering multiple units (like you do in your trigger), use a damage detection system. Bribe's Damage Engine or Weep's GDD are both GUI-friendly damage detection systems.

i have no experience using Bribe's, 'cause all i have done in the past is use Weep's, so this would be the trigger:

• Events
  • Game - GDD_DamageEvent becomes 0.00
• Conditions
  • GDD_DamagedUnit has buff YourBuff Equal to true
  • (Level of Skill for GDD_DamageSource) Greater than 0
• Actions
  • ...

check for Bribe's 'cause it seem to have the ability to use Unit - Damage Target action, as using that Action in the above trigger will cause a damage loop and will crash the game (it happened to me )

Na, there was a bug where the damage unit was damaging the target , the trigger took effect, and instead of remove and only then make the damage - it made the trigger reactive himself making an endless loop of "unit took damage while having the buff"

Every ability has its own Order ID, in this case...
The Order IDs of Cold Arrows are:
coldarrows (activation)
uncoldarrows (unactivation)

To catch these ID for each ability, use this trigger:

• ID Catch
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Issued order)))

So, if you want to do something, when Cold Arrows is activated, do this:

• Activation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(coldarrows))
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Issued order)))
    • -------- DO ACTIONS HERE --------

You could set for each of the String Order ID in a variable, at the start of the game first.
