Item properties help...

Hello, first of all i'm new to the fourms so hi!
I'm making a map.... with along the lines that using the item will determine the damage of what a unit does... but i'm having trouble and maybe someone could help me out

Is there a way to change the attack properties with an item (for example pierce then picking up an item gives the unit a seige attack) (I dont think there is a way but just if someone knows =P)

The second question is, how do I let the item determine the unit's cooldown rate (replacing the unit cooldown rate with the item cooldown rate)?

Thanks in advance!

well im not sure u can do all that w/ items (i may be wrong, but ijust dont think they are that cool :-D)

BUT... i think i might have a way to do basically what you want.

btw im not sure any of thsi will work, but what's the harm in trying?

First of all, make seperate units for each weapon

Next, make a item that basically does nothing for each weapon. You could just use bash, change the icon to what u want, and delete the damage, effects, and buffs that it does. (makes an empty item kinda)


Then set up a trigger like this

Events:
- Unit- a unit uses an item


Conditions:

- (Item being manipulated) equal to (the item to change the weapon)


Actions:

-Unit remove (triggering unit) from the game

-Unit create 1 (unit with the weapon for the corresponding item) for owner of (triggering unit) at (position of (item being manipulated)) facing (blah blah blah, doesn't really matter)



Well i really have no clue if thsi will work, but im just tryen to help, tell me if u have a question with what i mean
