I don't think there's any problem with this. If the target unit belongs to the enemy and will be invisible, you cannot see it by yourself so you cannot be sure that the unit was not created. So unless you change the owner of the dummy to the caster of the skill, you'll never see it thus you'll never be sure if it was created or not.
Alternatively, the problem may be caused by the Disguise Timer

• ((Disguise_Dummy is dead) Equal to (==) True) or ((Disguise_User has buff Disguise ) Not equal to (!=) True)

The second part about the buff. Does the skill Disguise apply the buff Disguise? Otherwise the unit will be removed immediately since it will never have that buff, satisfying the second condition and running the "Then" triggers.

@Shadow Fury: the triggers works like Caster will become invisible (not the dummy) and the dummy will be revealed.

you can read this, it apply a buff of Invisibility and timer will check if the buff is gone or not

Add Disguise [Invi] to (Last created unit)
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Sorceress - Invisibility Disguise_User

===========================================================================

Yes i think nothing is wrong here, but when i casted to an ally, enemy then i still goes invisible but the dummy is gone (sometimes it work). Do you need a sample map?

 

[Shadow Fury]

Ah yes I noticed now that the dummy goes invisible but my question now is: "Did you use the skill multiple times before the first dummy's timer (120 seconds) expired?" If you did so, you caused the overlapping of the trigger which will inevitably cause problems that cannot be fixed.

Where do you use Disguise_Loc, "Set Disguise_Loc = (Position of Disguise_User)"?

Maybe the timer and locust ability doesn't match.
Try experimenting with debug messages.

Where do you use Disguise_Loc, "Set Disguise_Loc = (Position of Disguise_User)"?

He did it at the top of the trigger.
