Hey guys I am trying to create a spider mine (using triggers) that is burrowed right off the bat.

Any ideas how I would achieve this?

Create unit with properties.

Edit: Or just create it ahead of time in a remote location wait until it borrows then move it to where you need it.

It doesn't matter how you create them. They will start out unburrowed and then burrow immediately. They might stay unburrowed for neutral players. Not sure though.

And yes, as kylels said, you need to create them ahead of time to get rid of the animation.

Go and place a bunch of them in a corner of the map, or some arbitrary place that will not conflict with regular game play and have them owned by Player 9. When you want to move them, center a location over top of them, give one of them to a different player, then move that one owned by the different player to the location of your desire.
