Replace one starting worker

[Kam]

What is a simple way to replace one starting worker via a trigger?

IE: I want 4 Peons and 1 Drudge instead of 5 Peons.

I assume your map has a basic melee setup?

If so, you can either custom create the starting units or you can just run this trigger:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.10 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempGroup = (Units of type Peon)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • PlayerStop[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Drudge using The new unit's default life and mana
            • Set PlayerStop[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] = True
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

N1ghthawk, that will replace every peon to a Drudge
Try this one, Kam:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (IntegerA) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Race of (Player(IntegerA))) Equal to Orc
          • (Player(IntegerA)) slot status) Equal to Is playing
        • Then - Actions
          • Set TempG = (Units owned by (Player(IntegerA)) of type Peon)
          • Set Unit1 = (Random unit from TempG)
          • Unit - Replace Unit1 with a Drudge, using the new unit's default life and mana
          • Custom script: call DestoryGroup (udg_TempG)
        • Else - Actions

TempG is a Unit Group variable, Unit1 is a Unit variable.
To get Player(IntegerA), when it asks you for a player input, scroll to Conversion - Covert player index to player.
Race Equal to Orc is a Race comparison.

That works fine except you have to run the trigger after the melee initialization creates the starting units.
