[Trigger] Shadow Dance

How could I make a triggered ability that goes something like this:

The Hero turns himself invisible every 3 seconds for x seconds. Any attacks made breaking the invisibility will deal 100/150/200 bonus damage.

Also, an off-topic question, how do I create a "pure" damage type, aka a damage type that completely and absolutely ignores all armor, immunities and spell resistances.

Well, it would go like this:

The unit begins casting the ability, either A: give him perma invis then take it off later, or B: create a dummy, have it cast invis on your unit. Add the unit to a unit group. Then, have another trigger where if a unit is attacked and the attacking unit belongs to X_UnitGroup, deal Xdamage*levelOfAbilityForUnit. That would be how to trigger an invis trigger with bonus damage.

I wasn't exactly sure what you meant by "The Hero turns himself invisible every 3 seconds for x seconds", so if ^ doesn't solve the issue, or if you need a more thorough explanation of ^, just ask.

It woul be beneficial to know if you use triggers or JASS.

It'd be easy in JASS, difficult in GUI.

Also you may need a damage detection engine to make sure it's not glitchy.

To do pure damage, instead of using the deal damage to a unit command, you set the units life to the units life - the damage amount.

But then you wont get the credit from the kill.

Attack type Chaos, damage type Universal does full damage even to Divine armor.

Didn't think of that. Good point.

How about: Every 3 seconds it adds a spell book with windwalk that has the backstab spell, and order the unit to use windwalk. With this you have the backstab damage and the break on attack done...

Wouldn't you need to disable the spellbook to make it not show? Also wouldn't that disable the active ability?

I've always kinda wondered that. Passives don't get disabled in disabled spellbooks, but do actives?
