How to replace haunted goldmine via trigger at gamestart without duplicating it ? I have to do this for my Nerubians.
What currently happens is that the original goldmine becomes a normal one, and next to it appears the altered haunted goldmine i wanted to replace the default one with.

EDIT: Since it became evident to me nobody understand, the question here is:
How to replace a haunted goldmine with a custom one via trigger at gamestart ? How i need to expand upon the trigger to accomplish this ?

Relevant part of the trigger i use:

You are doing same thing with ReplaceUnit just less.

No.
Replace first creates a new unit and then removes the old one. (this also causes the displacement when replacing buildings...)
Also it checks especially for blighted goldmines
JASS:
    // Create the replacement unit.
    if (newUnitId == 'ugol') then
        set newUnit = CreateBlightedGoldmine(GetOwningPlayer(oldUnit), GetUnitX(oldUnit), GetUnitY(oldUnit), GetUnitFacing(oldUnit))
    else
        set newUnit = CreateUnit(GetOwningPlayer(oldUnit), newUnitId, GetUnitX(oldUnit), GetUnitY(oldUnit), GetUnitFacing(oldUnit))
    endif

I don't know which part of the function causes the problem, but since you don't need 90% of it you might es well just use remove and create.
(maybe it stops before removing the oldUnit because haunted goldmines are special? idk)
