Have you seen my crusader mod? (it is outdated and probably not working, but the code for this stuff should still be valid).

I made an ability for the crusader which would inflict a debuff (not visible in the unit frame, but had a vfx) only to the undead.

You just have to put in inside the entity_data of the equipment piece, like in the original file where you found that code (it could be in the default weapon json file, or it could be in a skill file like in this example):

crusader_holy_punch_manual.json:

{
   "type": "entity",
   "components": {
      "stonehearth:equipment_piece": {}
   },
   "entity_data": {
      "stonehearth:combat:melee_attacks": [
         {
            "name": "holy_punch",
            "effect": "holy_punch",
            "active_frame": 20,
            "cooldown": 2000,
            "priority": 1,
            "bonus_dmg_multiplier": 1.0
         }
      ],	
      "stonehearth:buffs": {
         "inflictable_debuffs": {
            "infection": {
               "uri": "crusader:buffs:crusader:holy_light",
               "chance": 0.5
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

For the undeads the inflictable debuff seems to be in a mixin on their base file, so it would inflict the debuff no matter the weapon they’re using, but I assume you want to restrict it to a certain job or something.
