Items adding projectiles?

[zomgusuck]

I'm trying to figure out how to make it so when a unit picks up an item, it adds a ranged attack with a projectile, (i.e picking up an item with a machine gun attachment, and making it shoot) which is what im doing, The unit picks up item, it adds machine gun model to hand, and adds a ranged attack and projectile. But i cant figure out how to do it right! If someone could post a tutorial or link to another thread that'd be cool, thnx!

add a trigger which replaces the unit with a ranged one when picking up the item
then you need to add an ability to the item (e.g. Devoution Aura (item)) and change the effect to the weapon model

or base item on some orb

make its second attack range but leave it disable, then use an orb to activate it

as my little annoying cousin said "make it based on orb" it gives ranged attack, and than change the projectil, and give attachment to the unit with the gun model on left or right hand ...

yes as my old lame cousin said ranged attack by the item is orb
