I'm wanting to make a custom card for a friend for his birthday, but I'm not 100% on how to format the effect so that it does what I want it to, and can't be broken immediately.
The effect is:
Target opponant gains control of target permanent you control. You gain control of a permanent that opponant controls of the same type.
I'm not sure about the perfect wording on the second part of the ability, nor the punctuation needed to make it am uninteruptable effect.
Monkey222, in case you're unaware, split second makes it so the card can't be countered or responded to in any way (such as sacrificing the card being targeted). And here's the wording for easy reference or copy-and-paste.
Card Name (Rare) 2UU
Instant
Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't cast spells or activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.)
Exchange control of two target permanents that share a card type. (Artifact, creature, enchantment, land, and planeswalker are card types.)
I don't want any part of the interaction to be able to be stopped, so that the card can take something without giving something.
An "exchange" can only happen if what you are being given and what you are giving can both be given at the time the exchange is to occur. If you want taking something without giving something to be possible, then you can't use "exchange" as a game term. You would have to just use the word "simultaneously":
Choose target permanent you control and target permanent an opponent controls that shares a card type. Simultaneously, that opponent gains control of the permanent you control and you gain control of the permanent that opponent controls.
Note that other cards that use the "simultaneously" wording require that both targets remain legal as the effect is applied. This wording conveniently avoids that requirement, which means you are able to take without giving back. Change targeting restrictions as you see fit.

I'm not sure what you mean by "uninterruptable."

Probably split second.

Are you certain? I read it as just wanting the two control changes happening without interruption. And that's something "exchange" already does.
Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."

Unless it's countered.
Also, unless one of the targets is removed/no longer a legal target?
In this case it behaves exactly as two separate control changes would: Nothing happens.
Now you get to the core of the issue.

This is what I meant, sorry for not being clearer!
