I'm trying to re-create the legendary Frostmourne from the single Player Campaign. According to WowWiki and WowPedia:
In Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Frostmourne increased Arthas' base damage by 22 points and allowed him to deal chaos damage, which was fully effective against all types of armor (including that of buildings and divine beings). For balance reasons, this effect was only applied during the Frostmourne mission and not during the Path of the Damned or Legacy of the Damned campaigns.

I know that in the campaign the item wasn't actually created, they just simple changed the model files and added chaos damage to the hero. But I was wondering if it is possible to have a standard hero obtain an item and be able to deal chaos damage as long as they have the item, but if the drop the item, they no longer have chaos damage.

The Frostmourne I plan to create will have life steal, Cold Damage that also increase damage by 22, and Chaos damage. I got the item life steal, item attack frost bonus, not just need to figure out how to do "Item attack Choas".

This is impossible. Like in the campaign you will have to change the hero upon aquisition to of the item to a different hero (and likly a different unit) which has the same skills but chaos damage.

I think it can only be triggered, that looks something like this:
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Legendary Frostmourne) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set life = (Life of (Attacked unit))
    • Set Frostmourne[1] = (Attacking unit)
    • Set Frostmourne[2] = (Attacked unit)
  • Events
    • Game - life becomes Less than life
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause Frostmourne[1] to damage Frostmourne[2], dealing 22.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Cold
