i was wondering in how to make an item have an ability (for example chain lightning) and be able to auto cast it.

Ive never seen an auto-casting item before in all my years of playing warcraft 3. I wouldn't get your hopes up about it. You can always search "autocasting item".

You could trigger it. When user uses an item with dummy ability, you could add auto-cast faerie fire or something in disabled spellbook. When faerie fire is cast, simply make dummy cast chain lightning. When you use an item again or looses it, simply remove spellbook from your unit.

I am not 100% sure that this works, but it most likely does so. If you want, I could make you JASS or GUI trigger (prefer JASS) for it.

You can use orb of lightning(new) It's an orb that you can add any "target unit ability" It has cooldown, so it will only trigger when you attack a unit and it's not in cooldown.

But this is not, auto-cast, it's more like passive

To make it auto-cast you'll have to trigger it, there is a tutorial here on hive, just search for it
