Probably a dumb Q but...

Ok, invis when not attacking, check. Invis all the time, check. How do I go about a Perma-Shadowmeld (i.e. invis only when standing, but moving or attacking reveals the unit)? I don't wanna keep it night constantly, so any suggestions'd be great. I'm gonna go back to messing with the settings on some abils. Thanks.

Search is your friend. We have covered this several times.

I've tried some searches, but I guess I don't know which keywords to use. I didn't post because I could find the answer on my own as an aside.

EDIT: There was this but if a unit autoacquires, he becomes visible only upon attacking not when he begins moving.

Make a trigger that checks whether your unit is moving and adds/removes Permanent Invisibility accordingly.

Do you need this for one unit or for many?

Well, solved the problem as as I needed it for my map, but not in general. I needed it for multiple units, so it could've gotten a bit laggy trying to check for motion all the time. I was trying to recreate spider mines from SC. My solution was place them with permainvis, no flee and no attacks enable but with a 200-AOE 0-damage no-missile-art phoenix fire. When a unit takes damage from one of the mines, I remove the PF and the invis, increase the attack index via Corruption bonus, and order him to attack whatever unit he damaged, doing a damage area action on the mine's pos after .75 secs. I'll probably change the explosion to a trigger by PF, just like the activation.

@Av3n: No, that would be invis all the time except when attacking, thanks though.
