You can hide the icon for that unit in object editor. Something like: Hide HeroInterface - true

 

[Solu9]

Do you mean the hero icon in the top left corner of the screen?

If so, find the illusion unit in the object manager and change "Stats - Hero - Hide Hero Interface Icon" to true.

Edit:
IcemanBo said it!

It makes a copy of that unit so i can't hide that unit copy icon with that or if i do i don't see main unit's icon. InvisibilityCasterCopy1 is a variable.

Put here how you make the copy, there is the problem i'm sure.
These system are ok, if you remove the unit from the game, you are removing all existences of the unit.

I forgot to mention what i want - i want that unit copy death animation and explosion, and then to remove icon. The bug i call it's that it first dissapears (remove) and then after 0.5 seconds explodes and there is no death animation. I want that copy to die and explode at the same time.

Try kill the unit before the special effect and after the special effect add wait action with the death animation time, then remove the unit.

 

[Solu9]

When you remove the dying unit, everything about the unit disappears from the map that instant. Not after any death animation finishes.

Do you really need to remove the unit? Or is it because it is an illusion you want to corpse or blood laying around?

I need to remove that icon of illusion. Just that copy dies, and i need to remove that icon because it's a hero, or somehow turn that hero into unit or something like that.

Try kill the unit before the special effect and after the special effect add wait action with the death animation time, then remove the unit.

If i remove it when he's dead, icon is still not removed. I first kill him and do special effect (or after, tried both) and then i use command Wait and then remove - doesn't work (icon not removed). If i don't use Wait command - it works and icon removes but i don't have death animation, he just dissapers before explosion.

Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of InvisibilityCaster1) for (Owner of InvisibilityCaster1) at (Position of InvisibilityCaster1) facing (Percentage life of InvisibilityCaster1) degrees

I'll try again. This unit you create here.
Just remove the icon from that unit under that unit's stats in the editor.

 

[Severalser]

Ok this is my last option: when you create the unit change the owner to neutral, change the color if you want. Now you not have icon.
