This is what I want to happen:
1. You warp in a Pylon with a probe
2. It creates a sunken colony stacked on top of that Pylon
How do I do this?

Well, I've know of an alternative, but requires the player to do some work. Have a location the size of a pylon. When a pylon is created, remove the pylon and create a sunken colony where the pylon was. Then let the players stack the pylon on top of the sunken.

This doesn't sound very possible. The only reason you can ever stack buildings with triggers is because when you destroy a building, the terrain the building occupied is marked as buildable, even if there is another building underneath (Starcraft does not expect this to be possible, of course). The only way to stack the sunken in your situation is to somehow mark the terrain is buildable so you don't get a unit unplaceable error. This doesn't seem very easy to do...

You could have the map covered with Walkable Buildings(beacons or Disabled sprite units, lets use Missle Turret) and with some other buildings(lets say photon cannon) and hvae a 2x2 location named "What"
and with these triggers
only problem is it would be very ugly
and with these triggers
| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Kill all Photon Cannons at Anywhere owned by Player X |
| Trigger |
| Players: |
| ¤ Player with Pylon |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Player commands at least 1 pylon |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Center Location "What" at pylon owned by Player at "anywhere" |
| ¤ remove 1 Missle Turret owned by player X at "what" |
| ¤ Create 1 Sunken at "what" |
only problem is it would be very ugly

can you even use triggers to place a sunken colony without creep?

i know exactly how
you can stack sunkens / turrets / photons any way like this
create a 2x2 or what ever size the building and create like 50 odd machineshop's untop of each on that space.
Condition : Player x bring's atleast 1 machine shop to 2x2
Action : kill 1 machine shop for player x at 2x2
action : create 1 sunken/photon/turret w/e for current player at 2x2
action : preserve trigger
hope i helped
ADDITION:
and yes you can stop the creep from moving around it by making the 2x2 spot as dirt or a very low terrain and make the rest of the terrain surrounding it as high terrain

Yes, whenever I warp in a Pylon, it's for a defense map.
I see how things work. When you remove a building it's marked as buildable terrain. When you put the building back it gets marked as unbuildable again. That's why precarpeting with independent starports doesn't work.
Very interesting idea. I could have the whole thing coated with invisible beacons. That would certainly give my map a "healthy glow".
ADDITION:
OK, that beacon thing didn't work too well.
Well the point is I get how this whole trigger stacking thing works, and that's enough.
