Uhm, try setting it to another model and see if still happen, try setting to a unit model.
Maybe some animation is missing.

somehow even changing the unit model it still don't dissapear, :/ is there something like a game interface or something that might fix it?

Is the item still present, or just the model of the item?

If it's just the model, it's the fact that the model you're using doesn't have the right animation to be a power up, or something. Set the item back to a gold coin model and see if it disappears.

try basing it off of the gold pick up item and change the model,
then set it to automatically used when gotten?
or was that what you did ....

yes it dissapears if i use gold coin / bundle of lumber / books / runes and few others, but why not other models dissapear?

ok i was messing with the war3 model editor and i noticed these items the death animation makes them dissapear, while units remain there, my solution is to fix this death type, or do what you say vicent, but how would i do it? i meant, how to set it like an item and when picked up automatically used.
