Burrow Detection

You will need a 1x1 pixel location. You can create one with StarForge or SCMDraft2. It should be a tiny dot (not a grid square). We will call it \"L\".

If we create a unit over a location but the location is not big enough to fit, the unit will still be created but not within the location. We will use this to our advantage by creating a trigger that does the following:

-Create a unit over a 1x1 (pixel) location.
--If the unit is on the location, then the unit is still burrowed.
---Actions to take.

--If the unit is not on the location, then the unit is unburrowed.
---Actions to take.

Please note that a Switch is used. This is to simplify the process for newer people; obviously, (isolated) death counts, score, etc, will still work.
