Event - Unit Begins to Use an Item?

[Dark_Phoenix]

Any such thing?

If not, is there a workaround to make it so my trigger triggers when an item begins to be used?

No.
But, using the ability happens before using the item.

So Unit - A unit begins the effect of an ability?

I'd go with "starts the effect of" for triggering.
But, what are you trying to do?

I'm trying to make it so that when a unit begins to use a certain item (a "Capture Key") everybody is warned through a message.

Then it doesn't matter really...
The time between casting the spell and using the item is... really short.
Definitely not long enough to make any kind of decision based on that warning.

No, the ability (Capture) has a cast time of 30 seconds...at the start of the cast of the ability, I want the people to be warned..

You don't get it, use the event the unit begin to channel (EVENT_UNIT_SPELL_CHANNEL) or begin to cast (EVENT_UNIT_SPELL_CAST), depends what you want exactly.
