Noob question: regarding abilities

[millz-]

Is there an ability (that does not have auto cast) that adds purely armor, or armor and something that can be disabled easily?

I am making an ability (a buff) that can be targeted on self/allies that adds armor. I tried basing off Inner Fire, but the custom ability becomes able to auto cast by right clicking (I don't want that). I have also tried basing it off Frost Armor without auto cast but the irritating part is it has the slow attacking units effect (even when I set that slow duration to 0). I have also tried using an Item ability that adds armor bonus but either I don't know how to set it correctly, or it doesn't work, armor bonus only adds for Lvl 1 of that ability. Lvl 2 onwards don't add any effect. Also, I think item abilites do not add icon to the hero (but I want it).

Okay, back to the question. So is there any ability that shows icon and is not auto castable, and do not have any other special effects? I feel lazy to make a trigger just for bonus armor ~_~

Acid bomb is the only one I can think of.

spiked carapace, but put the return dmg to 0%

The only way I can think of is very basic triggering using dummy units, base the spell on Channel and just change everything to your liking, then make the dummy spell based on Inner Fire and change to what you want, if you're uncertain how to make triggered spells/dummy units and all that, there are guides seriously all over.

Thanks! It worked just the way I wanted

Frost Armor should also work if you set the Slow Duration to 0.01 seconds. In almost every case, setting a duration to zero actually makes it last forever.
