Two Quick and Simple Questions

I'm either seriously mentally challenged, or the editor is being mean to me.

How do I make something permanently invisible?

And I made custom shops (based off marketplace) and changed nothing but the items it sells, but it won't let my hero buy anything, saying "Valid Patron needed Nearby" or something retarded like that. What am I doing wrong?

Permenantly Invisible: When he attacks too? I dunno, but I know its possible, maybe triggers...

Give the shop the "Select Hero" ability (its called something like that)

The thing I want permanently invisible is a spawner. Its for a Roleplaying map.

And the shop does have select hero, the arrow appears above his head and everything. ????

EDIT: By spawner I mean a thing that moves instantly and is invisible so nobody else sees it, and you spawn stuff below it.
If you didn't know, or haven't played Grand-Dragon's RP maps before.

(e.g. spawn 01 footman spawns a footman underneath the spawner unit.)

Please Help, this is incredibly simple! (I think?)

Well, there's a 'permanent invisibility' skill, such as those used by Shadow Wolves, Shades, and Campaign Draenei. Spawners usually don't need to attack, so this is a fine solution..

Only complication would be if something has Invisibility detection.

And, if you're wanting a shop that sells specific items, basing it off of an item like a Goblin Merchant may be a better choice than the Marketplace.

saethori said it all. that is what i was going to say. just make sure no units have a detection abilty and than give it the same spell the shade has. i forgot the exact name but just go into the unit editor and look at the shades abilities. u will know it when u see it.
