This is fast tutorial, just replace the 'aaaaaaaa' with what ever you wish.

Make a new .txt file and rename it as aaaaaaaa.baf and put it to a folder called aaaaaaaa, then put the following code into it ans save, using this:

IF
  Global("a_pack","Locals",1)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    GiveItemCreate(S:StrRef*,O:Object*,I:Usage1,I:Usage2,I:Usage3)
    SetGlobal("a_pack","Locals",2)
    DestroySelf()
END

Where the S:StrRef* is the item files name without the .itm
The O:Object* is

LastSummonerOf(Myself)

And the I:Usage1-3 are numbers of charges, etc. the items extended headers have.

Some lines must be added to baldur.bcs

It's far better to add this line to the .cre's individual script... which is easy to do with WeiDU.exe mod...
The setup-aaaaaaaa.tp2 part is this kind(for aaaaaaaa.cre that's stored in the mods own folder called aaaaaaaa of all things):

BACKUP ~aaaaaaaa/backup~
AUTHOR ~Your name, Contact at (where?)~

BEGIN ~aaaa mods component name~ 

COMPILE ~aaaaaaaa/aaaaaaaa.baf~
COPY ~aaaaaaaa/aaaaaaaa.cre~ ~override/aaaaaaaa.cre~
     WRITE_ACII 0x0248 ~aaaaaaaaaa~

The you just copy a possible setup-*modname*.exe that's already in the game directory and rename it as setup-aaaaaaaaa.exe and start it... it will give you the possibility to install the "aaaa mods component name" component.

There's no need to summon anything, you can give it directly.

IF
HasItemEquiped("yourITM",Player1)
Global("whatever_check_you_need","global",1) // you can use 'locals' only in individual scripts
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ActionOverride(Player1,GiveItemCreate("newITM",Myself,1,0,0)
SetGlobal("whatever_check_you_need","global",2)
END

Repeat for Player2-6.

It all depend totally what you wish the item to do, and in what circomstances... but I'll despice you if you extend the baldur.bcs with your code, as there is no need for it.

I did it all and still don't understand, how this creature will spawn, when item is equiped.

There is no such condition in your list of options... unless you wuish to extend the baldur.bcs ... but I would recomend you not to do such a stupid thing. Now tell us what exactly you wish the item to do, or simulate of doing.

Yes, that would work in the baldur.bcs, perhaps if it wasn't busy of doing 10 000 different things at the same time, which will all cause a bit of slack, and slow the whole game to a growl.

OK, but someone tells me that additional lines in baldur.bcs cause stuttering bug. It's better to add just one check, to spawn creature, and rest include in it's script or i'm wrong?

It's better to actually make a fine item that has abitity that summons the creature that that acts the script and then gets destroyed one time, and one time only.
