Hello,

I need big help, so idea is this:

The fog of war is enabled, no one cant see only teammates each other, but when some one of enemy takes my flag, my whole team can see hero who picked flag, but only that hero who picked you cant see other people. Is it possible, also sorry for my english, it is really bad! :/ I hope you can understand this.

Yes it's possible, what I suggest is: when the flag is picked you create a dummy owned by neutral passive that has shared vision with the opposing team and you make it follow the hero. When the hero dies or drops the flag, you remove that dummy. Would you like a demo map if it isn't clear enough?

I believe it would be possible to create a dummy unit with a modded faerie fire ability.
When a flag is picked up, create such a dummy for the enemy team (I don't think it matters which player you choose, as long as allied vision is enabled it should be all right) and make it cast faerie fire on the flag bearer.
This ability grants vision of a single unit as long as it is active, so you can set the duration to something very high and then remove the buff manually if that hero dropped the flag or scored a point.
