Passive abilities without icon or text show in game?

Im trying to make a negative ability to gives a enemy unit a buff who is a "negative critical strike". The critical strike has 0.5 damage when it hits instead of multiplying=)

I use trigger "unit - add ability" when the spell is cast, so the enemy unit gets it.

But how do i make so the enemy unit doesnt get a icon / text?

If i delete icon and text it will still be noticable when u move mouse over right?

Anyway to make no icon and such?

Base the ability off of an Item ability, item abilities don't have icons.

Some item abilities do, it just depends on the abilities and it is hardcoded, the only way to hide an icon is to have an alpha channel icon for the ability, but it is still there

Some times when you set its position to 0,0 it gets hidden even though it would otherwise have been visible, but it only works some times (I don't know what it depends on). I havn't tried after patch 1.13 though, but try it out, you may be lucky.

Hiding icon is just choosing icon = <NONE>....

But the ability is there, whenever the icon's there or not.

I meant like permanent invisibility. You cant see that ability, even if you add it to units and such, its not there!

Im trying with no icon and no text in game now, wish me good luck;D

Actually, setting the Icon to <none> pre 1.13 would set it to sammy. (the bald headed dude) I don't know if they changed that in 1.13
