Well this is a weird error, I made a new map and placed some units (scvs, command centers, etc) but if I try to put triggers in the map (any types), my units just wont spawn when the game starts.

Is there something that I am missing there? Using no triggers at all makes my unit spawn.

You're just doing something wrong, that is most-likely the reason.
Placing units via terrain editor(y'know, where you get to see your map and it got the unit pallets n such), they will be there.
To do so by triggers you must have an event or a "Trigger - Run Trigger" from another trigger.

make sure that you haven't configured the data for the units so that their scale is 0 etc.

Found the error, it's an editor bug that happened when loading a map and saving with triggers on. It would just not properly save to the map file hence the weird bugs.

Fixed it by closing the map and reopening it and, oddly enough, no units were saved and the map was empty. But now it saves properly.

Thanks for the support though.
