invisibility

is there a way to make a spell that makes you invisible even when attacking but that has a duration? I know that ghost, the thing that a shade has, works like that except that its a permanent ability.

how about an item that works to make you invisible except when attacking? Could you just do that by giving an item the invisibility ability and make it not actively used?

how about making a spell that works like that? (you turn visible when you attack, and then turn invisible when you stop?)

thanks,

Well ghost isn't very useful because it's passive, so I don't think you can add a mana cost.

Why don't you just use windwalk but not give any speed multiplier? I think if you set the duration to 0 it makes it infinite - atleast I know that it works with metamorphosis for normal demon hunter with duration, and illidan morph which has no duration and therefore no timer.

the spirit wolves have permanent invisbility and show only up for attacking
and MicrosoftXP made an item in his rival nations that makes u also invis while attacking

thanks for your comments.

Here is what these things are for: In my DnD rpg map I'm trying to make a two level spell (Invisibility). The first level works like the sorceress spell --> just turns someone invisible till they attack, timer runs out, whatever. The second level is supposed to be "Improved Invisibility"

For those of you who have played DnD, this is a shorter duration spell whereby you can turn invisible and attack without turning visible.

Windwalk with no timer is cool, but not what I'm looking for here.


The other thing that i want to do is give the thief the "Sneak Attack" ability. This ability will work via triggers. If the thief attacks, and he's invisible then he gets a % chance to do extra damage. At night he can do this via his Hide in Shadows ability, but you can see why the Improved Invisibility spell would kick *** when cast on the rogue, right?

Lacking that, it would be cool to have a late game item, like a ring of invisibility that turns you invisible either all the time or all the time but when you're attacking.

some ideas/questions:

(Is there a way via triggers to add and then remove the ghost ability?)

hmm, if you gave an item the ghost ability would it make you invisible always?

The ghost ability makes you permanently invisible except when attacking. Ie. The unit moves around invisible, turns visible for it's attack animation, then goes invisible again.
