You need a unit group variable.

Click the orange x
Click the green x
Name the variable
Click the scroll bar and scroll to Unit Group
Click Ok
Click Ok

I think your going to need arrays in this so use arrays. Each array # can be used for a different thing for the same variable type. Ex. Putting an array in a unit group, you can a bunch of gnolls to (Unit Group Variable) [1] and have a bunch of satyrs to (Unit Group Variable) [2]. This way you don't have to make so many different variables.

Trigger

Code:

Events:
  Every (how long) seconds
Conditions:
  # of units in (Unit Group Variable) = 0
Actions:
  Create creeps
  Set (Unit Group Variable) = Last created unit group

BuRnInSpartan	yes you do need arrays which is below variable type set it to how many units that are going into the unit group (i think)

i'd prefer:

events

A unit dies

conditions

actions

unit group - pick every units in region [mycreeps] and do actions
|-|- if - conditions
|-| picked unit is alive = false
|-|- then - actions
|-| unit group - create [number] [units-type of[creeps]
|-|- else - actions

or:

let's consider that the following trigger already happened:

event- unit dies
condition - dying unit [from region[myCreeps]]
actions - run trigger [check creeps]

now, the [creck creeps] trigger:

events (no event)

conditions [boolean] (every units in region owned by player) is alive = false

actions

|-| unit - create [number] [unit-type of[creeps] in region [mycreeps]

That should work. Just fill in the values and it's done.
