How to simplify my variables?

Here's a trigger from my map. It is horribly inefficient and sadly a very good example of what triggers look like in my map. Is there any way to consolidate things like the regions entered (as there will be more in the future) or my if/then/elses that are changing global variables based on triggering player? I've tried looking at the common sense triggering sticky, but it confuses me...

Star Stopping Units
    Events
        Unit - Any Unit Enters StarCircle
        Unit - Any Unit Enters StarCircle2
        Unit - Any Unit Enters Room Edge
        Unit - Any Unit Enters Room Edge2
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) != 0
    Actions
        Debug - Display "Star Stopping Units" as debug output using Type 1, and Do display it in the game window
        Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to ( Stop) (Replace Existing Orders)
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 1
            Then
                Variable - Set UnitMov 1 = false
            Else
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 2
            Then
                Variable - Set UnitMov 2 = false
            Else
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 3
            Then
                Variable - Set UnitMov 3 = false
            Else

You could try to use an array and use the player number as an index:

Variable - Set UnitMov[Owner of (Triggering unit)] = false
