Lets say you want something to happen later in the game depending on if something happened earlier.

kinda like this...

Events - Unit enters region

Conditions - Entering unit equal to "your hero"

Actions - Set "VariableName" = True


then...


Events - A unit enters region

Conditions - none

Actions - If/Then/else
if all conditions are true, then do acions, else do else actions.
If Conditions- "VariableName" equal to (True)

Then actions - End game in victory for (owner of (entering unit))

Else actions - End game in defeat for (owner of (entering unit))


there may be some errors in the trigger but i hope that helps you understand variables.

You know, not to be rude, but you can't be a 'Trigger Master' without having a clue as to what variables are.

Think of variables as storage warehouses to store data.

Variables are assigned types. In programming languages, by default, there are integers, floating-point numbers, strings, booleans, regular expressions, functions (and/or classes) and a few more that are unique to a few or solely certain languages. But Warcraft adds these types to sort variables out into ones that you can use. This is to prevent type-casting errors.
