the drone gets created moves to the point and then just sits there... I have preplaced my own drone and tried building it with no worries, it has no cost.
But for some reason the last part of that trigger will not work, any ideas?
Sorry ahead of time if these might be obvious things I point out, but just thought I'd let you know what I came across. I created a test map with your same trigger, and at first it ran into the same problem you described, but I noticed that I did not set up my map with any minerals and the requirements for morphing into a Spine Crawler weren't met (I needed a Spawning Pool). It would also do the same thing if I tried to build somewhere off creep, it'd move there and stop, but it'd give an error message that the building place is invalid. Since you said that you are able to create the Spine Crawler with your preplaced Drone, this *shouldn't* be the same issue you are having.
The only other thing I can notice is that your second line isn't needed, your Drone should move to your point and start building with the third line alone. Again that shouldn't make a difference either.
The only thing I can think of is that the requirements might not be met for whatever reason, but if its not, at least you're getting a free bump if someone else has any ideas :)
I have been attempting to get a drone to morph into a spine crawler via triggers for over an hour now, something I thought would be so simple.

Make sure you clear the requirements for player 10. If you own the drone in testing mode, chances are you are controlling it as player 1.
I should add, there is no mineral cost to build the spine crawler and that is a duplicated one I made with no requirements to build it.
bump
Are you perhaps telling it to build off of creep, on a burrowed unit, or somewhere otherwise impossible for it to be built at?
I just made a map with a hatchery, a spawning pool, a drone, a point, and the following trigger, and it worked just fine.
-_- I was ordering it to morph into the standard spine crawler, not my duplicated one... noob mistake.
thanks for the help guys
