[Solved] unit summoning item

[Kclantern1984]

I am trying to figure out how to create an item that, when used, summons a unit. I have tried copying and modifying what I found with "Mechanical Critter", but that only summons critters. I want to be able to summon other units.

On a related note, I would also love to know how to make tiny buildings other that those already listed, like a tiny Marketplace or tiny Tavern.

Try the item that summons those Furbolg-like creatures. The icon looks like a stone.

If you want a much better, CnP a summoning ability then convert it as an item ability,then add it to your item.

What is "CnP"? And what is the name of the item you mentioned?

I probably should have mentioned that I am new to Warcraft 3 and don't know all the terms. In fact, I am not very computer literate in general. As Mal said to Kaylee in the "Firefly" episode "Out of Gas"- "I need you to put that in captain-dummy-talk"

copy and paste = CnP

There is a list of other items can summoning units:

Open it

- Ancestral Staff
- Red Drake Egg
- Ice Shard
- Book of the Dead
- Demonic Figurine
- Inferno Stone
- Spiked Collar
- Talisman of the Wild
- Stone Token
- Rod of Nercomancy
- Tiny Castle
- Tiny Great Hall
- Tiny Barracks
- Tiny Altar of Kings
- Tiny Farm
- Tiny Lumber Mill

You need to check their abilities, then open them and change "Data - summon - unit type". (Open Object Editor)
I can't know more about summoning items.
EDIT:
- (1) Open Object Editor
- (2) Choose "Items"
- (3) Choose one of those items I send (You can choose one of them, not all)
- (4) Check item you chose's ability.
- (5) Remember it , choose "Abilities"
- (6) Find "Items" in the left, then open it.
- (7) Find ability you rememberred.
- (8) Can you see "Data - Summon - Unit Type"? Change it if you want.

Does seem rather obvious in hindsight. I feel so dumb.

Thank you, huy60vn. It worked.

Related to my first problem. I now know how to use an item to summon a unit. Now I want to learn how to turn the unit back into an item when I am done with it. Any ideas? I have tried variations on "polymorph" "unsummon building" and "dentonate" but none do quite what I am looking for.

And in this place u have to trigger everything.
There's no other way in doing this.
U have to give use some ideas how it my look.
Will summoned building have skill of unsummon? Or u just wan't item in you'r inventory summoning item in your inventory to be replaced with unsummon item?

I was hoping to stay out of the trigger system. That thing looks like nothing but one big mess to me.
