Little help with one complicated spell

[Restor]

So i managed to make one "simple" spell. It contains from three parts

part one-it makes all your friendly-player's heroes invisible (based on ghost ability of undead shade, if they attack, they will still remain invisible) for X seconds

part two-it makes all enemy-player's heroes visible (i tried to make this based on item ability "dust of blabla" but i dont know how, so another choice is to give all friendly units "detector" ability) for X seconds

part three-it doesnt make the caster himself invisible or "detector" and this spell will stun him for X seconds

X is the same in all parts, it will change its value depends on level of the spell (the spell is suposed to have three levels so on)

I tried to make it but after 2 hours of work it still doesnt work propertly (to say it better-it doesnt work at all)

First create a spellbook with the min/max spells set to 2. Next add the spells Ghost and Trusight (Shade) to the spellbook. Next in the initilization trigger disable that spellbook. When the hero casts teh ability, set a unit group to the friendlys that are around the hero, and add the spellbook. Then start a timer. When the timer expires, remove the spellbook from the units in that group. (dont forget to destroy the group) Finally, create a dummy caster with a modified stormbolt ability, and order it to cast stormbolt on the caster.
That just about wraps it up.

Make a variable named "AlliedHeroes" of type Unit Group.

Make a spell based off Storm Bolt with a X second duration and "Player Units, Hero" targets allowed. Give it to a dummy unit.

I was writing it while you were posting, so I did not know.
