Redundant Scripts Problem May 25, 2010

hi,

i'm quite new to mapmaking and not very experienced. i created a map, i played a while ago in SC1 -> Total madness.

for those who don't know it: every player has a base to defend and automatically spawns units at his base, no base-building, the more kills you got, the better units will spawn... i've built a basic, working map, but its still quite faulty.

now i need help me making better scripts. ^^

example: global variables:

    SpawnVar01 = 25.0 <Real>
    SpawnVar02 = 50.0 <Real>
    SpawnVar03 = 75.0 <Real>

"unit-spawn" scripts (for player 1, for the 1st & 2nd unit). scripts 3-12 look like #2, just other variables and units...

pl1_ucreat_01
    Events
        Timer - Every 2.0 seconds of Game Time
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        And
            Conditions
                (Status of player 1) == Playing
        And
            Conditions
                (Player 1 Enemy Units Killed score) <= SpawnVar01
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Marine for player 1 at (Center of Region 001) using default facing (No Options)

pl1_ucreat_02
    Events
        Timer - Every 2.0 seconds of Game Time
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        And
            Conditions
                (Status of player 1) == Playing
        And
            Conditions
                (Player 1 Enemy Units Killed score) > SpawnVar01
        And
            Conditions
                (Player 1 Enemy Units Killed score) <= SpawnVar02
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Ghost for player 1 at (Center of Region 001) using default facing (No Options)

this code i got for all 8 players... so i have to change 96, when i want to make a change... and now i am pretty sure, this can be done much more elegant... :D

thought about an array with all players and a for-loop or something like that... please help

regards, dmo
