I want to put a unit invisible (like windwalk) when he uses and ability (mirror image) so he could escape while the other still thinks its him.

Oooh like that hero in Dota. Create a dummy unit (I assume you know about dummy caster units) with "invisiblity" (from human sorceress) ability, and make it so each time your Hero begins the effect of Mirror Image, the dummy unit casts invisible to it.

Don't forget to 0 the mana cost for the invisible and 0 the transition time too.

Using Windwalk and casting the item Wand of Illusion on the triggering unit might be a better method.

If you're following Jazradel's way, then just issue order your caster to use a dummy Wand of Illusion item, and then add/use/remove a dummy Windwalk ability.

Another GUI problem: Wand of Illusion's order has no string representation. I guess that's his problem.
