Like it says, which is the best way to detect when a unit evades an attack and if possible, how can i detect which unit's attack was evaded?.

Your best shot is probably with an attack detection system; there should be plenty examples if you do a search.

You can't. You'd, as Naakaloh said, have to use an attackdetect engine to trigger the entire thing yourself.

attack detect detects damage, not attack

You use a dummy ability and trigger the evasion.

Just curious... but how do you trigger evasion? I never really got down to triggering abilities like this...

It would involve making the unit use the dummy ability instead of a normal attack; in which case you lose control over some things concerning how damage is dealt.

Hence, I said his best shot would be an attack detection system. He would have to perform checks that identify when the attacks do not deal damage, which would be messy anyway.
