A Map-maker named TriX made a game called 'Bound Defense 2'. Your asking the same thing that he does. In his game with an scv you create a supply depot and it removes it and puts a bunker and your units you selected go into the bunker and it becomes invinsible.

Enough talk i think this trigger should help. (In StarForge Triggering)

Trigger

Description:

Removing a building and replacing with building and units

Players:

¤ Each Human Player (Seperate triggers for each)

Conditions:

¤ Bring(Player *, Atleast, 1, CommandCenter, Anywhere);

Actions:

¤ RemoveUnitAtLocation(All, CommandCenter, Player *, Anywhere);

¤ CreateUnit(1, Building, Where, Player *);

¤ CreateUnit(Howmany, Unit, Where, Player *);

¤ PreserveTrigger();

EDIT: Make More CreateUnit Triggers for however many Units you want to make.

Thank you mate, thing is i have some suply depots and comand centres at another location for all the players, for supply depot and technology reasons lol, so wont it affect them aswell?

Hmm...I dont think it should if you have them with seperate triggers.

In TriX's Bound Defense 2 he has supply depots to the side of the maps.

Maybe if you place them as sprites?

ADDITION: Cause on StarForge when you go under Sprite Layer you can click 'Unit' or 'Sprite'

Do you mean that when you build a command center somewhere the building with the units appear at the middle of the map??

Or do you mean when you build a command center somewhere it appears at the middle of the map.

If you wanna look at TriX's Triggers of how he did it, i suggest you use Trigger Viewer

ADDITION: If you dont have Bound Defence 2 i can get on and let you download it

You need to center location onto the Command Center and then create the other building on the location centered on the CC or else the building will just spawn in the middle of the map.

Here is a tutorial that is pretty similar to what you are doing.

This is now taking the piss, i seem to be missing something, and im confused on the locations, how many do you need, and does one need to cover the whole map?, im so baflled right now, any more help, its just a basic comand center to another building....

I whipped up this experimental map for ya

You can open it and look at the triggers and locations and such. I think it should answer your questions.
Hopefully

If there are units all over the map that are the same, what you could do is have a 2x2 or 3x3 location follow the scv and check for a building inside that location. That way, only buildings next to the scv are replaced. Also, you may want to move away the scv so there is room for the building to be built. For example:

Always: Center location 3x3 on scv owned by current player. Preserve trigger.

If current player brings atleast 1 Command Center to 3x3:
Center location (another larger one) on command center owned by current player at 3x3.
Remove command center at (larger location)
Move SCV to somewhere on the map not used.
Create whatever units you need at larger location.
Move SCV back.
Preserve Trigger.
