Is it possible to make a trigger execute only once a ling has been burrowed?
Im workin on a map called Burrow D. and I need to be able to make this work..

I believe so. I don't know how to do it, but I remember Tuxedo-Templar played around with burrowing a Defiler to reload a gun in one of his maps. I think it has to do with the elevation of the location around the burrowed unit, but again I'm not sure.

Change the location type maybe low ground only maybe

I tried that, but it just executes when it walks onto that location.

It's pretty simple. Just continuesly create a unit and removing the unit onto a location (smaller than 1x1) that is centered on the unit that can be burrowed.
Remove the unit being created if that unit is not within the location. Actually, remove it if it is in the location, but if it is, then the unit is burrowed.

If you have hyper triggers then you wont see the unit being removed and created. But, it will probably create a little bit of lag depending on how many players you have.
You could always have 1 unit keep killing the burrowed one when its not burrowed, and when its not being killed then its burrowed. But that would be harder and more stupid
Do what CheeZe said because: No you wont see it and no it wont get in the way (it just might cause a little bit of lag).

Heres what you do to detect a burrowed unit.
1.Place a location and modify its settings so the ONLY elevation checked is low, then for the trigger just have.
Condition:
Player brings (at least/most/exactly) (#) (unit) to (location).
Action:
(What you want here.)

No because then it dont have time to recognize that a unit is there. You have to have at least a 1 ms wait and then u see it.

Yes you do have time to do it, let me break apart Cheeze's post to help you out:
Trigger #1:
Always
Move .5 x .5 location on Zergling (say we're using a zergling)
Create Ultralisk or Move unit to .5 x .5 location.
Trigger #2
Bring at least 1 Ultralisk to .5 x .5
Remove all Ultralisk at .5 x .5
Actions that happen if ling is burrowed
Trigger #3
Bring exactly 0 Ultralisk to .5 x .5
Remove all Ultralisk
Actions that happen if ling isn't burrowed
Since all three triggers are setup like this, you never see the ultralisk and it checks instantly. I haven't done this trigger with create/remove but I do know that move/moveback will work perfectly without seeing the unit.

Low elevation trigger means anyunit that is on the lowest possible terrain(I think its regular dit on jungle down to low platform in space and installation). It has nothing to do with burrowed units.

You are missinterpreting something. It never has or never will work that way.
