'unit drops item' event

[mirrorman1de]

hi,
i want my trigger to activate whenever an item is dropped. any idea what would be a sensible event to chose?

generic unit event, unit loses an item

i am not talking about a hero dropping an item but a creep dropping an item. so to speak the first appearance of the item on the map for the first time.

Units count AS : Every Freaking Moving/Selectable Object in the game, AkA Heroes,Creeps,Jesus.

but if your hero kills a creep and that creep has a loot table and lets say it drops a health pot for example when it dies, this event is not adressed by 'unit loses an item' since it was more or less just created by the game. it formerly was not in the possession of the creep. therefore it could not have lost it it.

you asked for a item droped event, not a item droped on death, give me a sec and I will post a trigger.
