Triggering abilities via items

[Shooterman56]

I have a hero ability that has an added effect of turning the team of the targeted unit via triggers. How do I go about modifying the triggers so that it works as an item ability?

Working hero ability (no event):

Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Madness |c0096FF96 [W]|r


If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Target unit of ability being cast) is A Hero) Equal to False
(Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Not equal to |cffd27e00Wife|r
(Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Not equal to |cffd27e00Husband|r
(Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Not equal to Son
(Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Not equal to Daughter
Then - Actions
Unit - Change ownership of (Target unit of ability being cast) to Neutral Hostile and Change color
Else - Actions



I have tried several methods for items, but no luck.

Conditions
(Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Rage dust


Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Targeted unit) is A Hero) Equal to False
((Targeted unit) is A structure) Equal to False
(Unit-type of (Target unit of issued order)) Not equal to |cffd27e00Wife|r
(Unit-type of (Target unit of issued order)) Not equal to |cffd27e00Husband|r
(Unit-type of (Target unit of issued order)) Not equal to Son
(Unit-type of (Target unit of issued order)) Not equal to Daughter
Then - Actions
Unit - Change ownership of (Target unit of ability being cast) to Neutral Hostile and Change color
Else - Actions



Thanks in advance

I'm fairly certain that you use the "A unit starts the effect of an ability" event even for items.

Edit: Just tested it and it works. All you need to do is create an Item ability and add it to your item. Then in your trigger do this:

• Cast Item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Item Ability
  • Actions
    • Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Current gold to 750
