help with Item's abilities

Ive posted this in another forum but i didnt get any Usful help (still thnx)
Now - what I need is to make an item with ability that to that:
- shoots one galive every 0.5 seconds, if enemy is in range (800)
what i was told to do is to create an permanent item, and a custom ability
Based on the Pheonix Fire and add the ability to the item.
Its Not Working
Maybe theres some more fields that should be changed (not the art stuff)
Please tell me step-by-step wich fields should i change, and to what.

!!PLEASE HELP!!

In my experience, phoenix fire is actually a pretty buggy ability.
If i would ever make something like this, i would trigger it, just to be on the safe side.

I prefer not to trigger it, because im gonna copy this ability and make a lot of different abilities like this.

still, i need a way to do it.

I suggest looking at Battleships 3.0, the map is open source and is based on such items, you should be easily able to find out how to calibrate the phoenix fire.

Edit: The BS homepage seems to be down right now, though.

1. Copy-Paste 'Human - Phoenix Fire' ability. (It is prudent to leave the base spell unaltered for organization reasons)
2. Field Edits

• Area of Effect : 800
• Cooldown : 0.5
• Targets Allowed : (Your discretion)
• Missile Art : Unit Missiles - Glaive Thrower (Your discretion)
• Item Ability : True
• Hero Ability : False
• Duration - Hero : 0.01 seconds
• Duration - Normal : 0.01 seconds

3. Add this ability to an item
4. Give this item to target
5. Verify that the unit has an inventory that is capable of using items. This has to be modified if your target is not a hero. All non-heroes with inventory by default cannot use items. The easy way out is to add 'Hero Inventory' ability on your unit. Else :

• Copy Paste 'Unit Inventory' ability. There are many base ones to use and one at the top of my head now is Orc - Orc Backpack
• Add this ability to your intended unit.
• Modify field 'Can Use Items' to True.

Very often, it is a human error in the details of Step 2 or neglect in Step 5.
