What DK just posted is the memory addresses for the regular death counters. I requested this to facilitate some research of my own. These are not for special effects of any kind.
Carl, there is a one-to-one correspondance, isn't there?
Edit: DK, don't P13 deaths of Marine equal P1's deaths of Ghost? If not, how does it handle extended players, and where does it read addresses from?

I know how to get my own battlecruiser rigged up with the fastest speed and with interceptors. It's the same method as the marine from deathknight but it's a battlecruiser.

Lol, why is it always my job to parse the words of the programmers into english?
CONVERTING MEMORY OFFSETS TO DEATH/UNIT TRIGGERS:
Each death counter is a 4-byte long as I stated before and looks like this in hex:
00 00 00 00
Each byte corresponds to a setting in Starcraft.
Deaths start at the memory offset 00513874
Offset 00513874 is the orange byte shown here for deaths of P` unit id 0 (marine) 00 00 00 00
Offset 00513875 is the orange in P1 marine: 00 00 00 00
Offset 00513876 is the orange in P1 marine: 00 00 00 00
Offset 00513877 is the orange in P1 marine: 00 00 00 00
Offset 00513878 is the orange byte shown here for P2 deaths of unit id 0 (next long in order) (marine) 00 00 00 00
..and so on..
Each unit id goes through 48 memory offsets 4 bytes * 12 players. 48 is 30 in hexedecimal.
Using the formula, Offset 005138A4 is the first byte in P1 deaths of unit id 1.
Remeber the starting offset is 00513874.
Now, let's take the unit graphic offset for instance. It's offset, found by disciple, is 006b8ec8 (6b673c)
Now do some math. 006b8ec8 - 00513874 = 1A5654 = 1726036 in decimal. Divide by 48 to find how many unit ids until you reach this offset and you get 35959 R4 (35959 4/48) This means unit id 35948, and the first byte in.
Hence, UID 35949, Player 2, byte 1. The starting offset given corresponds to UID 0, the marine.
Therefore, the first byte of P2 deaths of unit 35949 is the Marine Unit Graphic.
When writing the trigger, Starforge generate an overflow, so convert the UID 35949 to a smaller negative number by subtracting 65536. 35949-65536 = -29587.
Our trigger then looks like this:
SetDeaths(P2,Setto,3,-29587);
That's odd, it doesn't work. What went wrong? This formula works for enabling shields...
Are you sure you have the right offsets?

On closer examination, the values are not as simple as I thought. Try this map on for size:

Glad to help. That list wasn't to hard to make either. Took about 6 min to find everything, and another 30 to type it up.
Out of curiosity, what is the range of memory we can change?
EDIT
Might have mistyped some, was in a hurry. I pulled them right out of the exe.
EDIT 2
I just check graphic, and it is 6b8ec8. If you want to check me, open up starcraft.exe in a hex editor and go to address 103010. That's where the units.dat structure is. Also, if you have TSearch, load stacraft.exe and start a game. Go to 6b8ec8, and that should be 4e. That's 78 for those who don't convert quickly. It's the marine's flingy entry.
EDIT 3
Exaclty what was the new map supposed to do? All I noticed was a ton of cocoons showing up and killing the sprite limit when the marines attacked.

No, your offsets are correct. What is very strange is I can't find a simple correlation between the value of the byte and the effect it has on the unit.
For example, setting the Gauss Rifle missile sprite to 3 makes a weird cocoon effect, but setting the Burst Laser missile sprite to 3 seems to have no effect.

Missile Sprite, from Weapons.dat right? Don't forget that the entry is 4 bytes long for each weapon. It's also a pointer to Flingy.dat.
0=0:Scourge
1=1:Broodling
2=2:Infested Terran
3=3:Guardian Cocoon
4=4:Defiler
5=5:Drone
6=6:Zerg Egg
7=7:Guardian
So 3 should give the cocoon. The size of it might be why it didn't work for burst lasers.

Ahhh, not everything is 1 byte. That clears a lot up.
The effect on the wraith should be the same, I was editing the 16th byte in the series, thinking teach was 1 byte.

Even thought I'm not DK, I could answer that. Probably not, because that data is not in the section he's modifying. Actions are part of the code in starcraft. Requirements(like what can build something) are also before the section he's changing in memory. If you could modify that section of data, and knew how to properly do it, then it might be possible. But stuff like requirements are messy hex, ie 02FF6a00...FFFF is an example, shortened of course, of the SCV requirement. It says Current Unit Must Be Terran Command Center, ...(this is where the must not be building addon and must be landed are). Not easy to convert, even if we could change that section. Besides, you'd have to be careful not to overlap onto the next requirement.
Size, plus some other info is on them. I labeled some of the entries that are pointers, so you know what value you're changing to. I'd be glad to clear up any questions on what each entry does.
