I recently discovered the warcraft 3 world editor, I created some custom characters and spells, and then I tried triggers.
When I saw the amount of things you could do with triggers, i instantly wanted to make a spell which would do the same thing as an ability in a manga i really like : jojo's bizarre adventure.
The thing is, the ability is known by the community to be very hard just to understand.
If you want to try to understand go there and read from the "abilities" section. King Crimson
The more i try to make it the more i understand how hard and impossible it is for a begginer with trigger. I would like to know if it's even possible.

To summ it up, the ability makes everyone in a unspecified range unconsciously do what they are supposed to do in the next 10 seconds while the user stays conscious and can move freely but can't interract with anything but can see every frame of everything is going to happen in these 10 seconds.
In the end of the ten seconds, everyone but the user will forget what happened in these 10 seconds.
In the manga, the user of this uses it to move himself to kill a target after the 10 sec while the target's brain is confused by the time skip or to dodge things. Note that I skipped (lol) a lot of things in this explanation.

What I want to do in warcraft 3 isn't exactly that because it would just be a placement spell which isn't really fun to me.
What i would like to do is that when the spell is cast, every unit in a certain range will a create a double of themselves, which they can't see except the caster of the spell. The doubles have the same behavior as a normal unit but they can't do any damage nor cast spells. The caster also have a double which he can see and every enemy can only see the double. The double of the caster can attack and cast spells tho. The caster ONLY can attack the doubles and with boosted damage.
In a maximum of ten seconds or when the caster recast the spell, every unit will get replaced by their double.
So when you attack the double of a unit, it's like you attack his future himself.
I also think about making a version of this spell with a single target and with a low cooldown.

That would be really cool huh ?
I don't want you to make it for me i would just like help for doing it, because i really enjoy creating spells with triggers. Maybe It's actually really easy to do but i don't know everything about triggers.

It can be done but I would say that it is not worth the effort.

With the user of getLocalPlayer you can hide a unit from specific players by giving them 100% transperency for said players. (shadow will remain on the ground however)
You can use some object editor tricks to apply a silence + remove damage on the other unit.
