Items with multiple options

[Kildare]

I've seen this done before and i've actually did it once but i can't remember how. What i want to do is to give an item multiple effects of which the player can choose from. For example, Item#1 can do three things: Fire Ion Cannon, Plant Mines, or Speed Boost. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

what do you mean by item? You mean like menu items in the command card? or picked up items? or...?

 

[Kildare]

i'm refering to normal picked up items.

How would you select which action to perform?

Ok i'll be more specific this time. I'm refering to our normal non-dialog-based Hero Inventory system where you click an item from your inventory to use it. What i want to do is to basically give that item 3 different "effects/abilities/options" that the player can choose from. Think of it as something like a backpack, where the backpack is the original item, and within it has many more items/spells/etc.

so what you're talking about is making the icon have the "spellbook" ability that is offered in war3?

Something like that, but it's for an item of course.
