Well, here is my suggestion:
Try to put abilities in these items, instant abilities as like WindWalk or Channel... (Instant Cast, that requires no target unit or area to be used). Then, create a trigger:

Event:
:arrow: A unit starts the effect of an ability
Conditions:
:arrow: Ability being cast equal to (the ability of the item)
Actions:
:arrow: Camera pan for owner of casting unit to target of camera view offset by (the distance you want the camera moving) and (the angle you want the camera moving) towards.


What I'm wanting to say is that you have to create several items, each one with a different ability that refers to a different angle for the camera! :wink:
