In patch 1.4 blizzard added the following: ◦Added support for items with abilities to display AoE cursors, show progress, and use the minimap for targeting.
So supposedly, ability items can now use cursor actors...
So I create an item of type ability and give it a simple ranged AOE damage ability that has a cursor actor attached to it in the usual way and the ability has a search effect in the search field (tried damage as well). I expect that this would result in an AOE cursor for items like it does for abilities, but it does not...
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Does blizzard's "fix" even work?
Edit: The cursor seems to half work for items. It doesn't show the cursor splat, but it highlights units that are in range of the AOE.
The fact that cursor, range and placement actors do not work for items has been a huge annoyance and I have been complaining to blizzard about it for over a year.
In patch 1.4 they claimed to have allowed cursor actors to be used for ability items (items of type ability which link to an ability) in their patch notes. However, I cannot seem to get the cursor actor to work for the item ability. :(

In what way do you propose I modify them? The splat actors are working fine for abilities, just not for items...
so it does not work for abilities on items?
