//example:
/*
make a timer run every 1 second of game time.
then make it check
if cru(somespecialunit,somespecialregion) then
...do your thing.
or better yet...
a unit drops an item...(using GT)
if cri(GetManipulatedItem(),thestash) then
probably pull up some more conditions and make a recipe, or something like that.
it could also be used to remove items that are cluttering up the map if there are lots
of creeps and item drops on your map.
for example...
a unit drops an item...(using GT)
run a timer for 2 minutes, then check
if cri(GetManipulatedItem(),thebattlefield) then
remove the item.
these are just a few ideas off the top of my head.
