Change your ItemUnitCreator variable's type to integer, because when you are using real you are randomly getting an integer between 1.00 and 5.00, not 1 and 5.So you can get numbers like 2.63, 3.76 etc...You aren't much likely going to get 1,2,3,4,5.

You can make your trigger much more effiecient by array usage:

• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • UnitTypes[0] = Footman
  • UnitTypes[1] = Knight
  • UnitTypes[2] = Priest
  • UnitTypes[3] = Rifleman
  • UnitTypes[4] = Spellbreaker

Now, the actuall trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Uses an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Unit Creator
• Actions
  • Set tempLoc = (Center of (Playable map area))
  • Unit - Create 1 UnitTypes[(Random integer number between 0 and 4)] for (Triggering player) at tempLoc facing Default building facing degrees
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc)

I recommend you Things that leak and a visit at Tutorial -> GUI/Triggers section for basic and advanced knowledge related to GUI triggers inside WE.
