Chapter 22 Page 622 adapting score to triggering

Hi,
I have kind of an odd request. What I am tring to do is adapt the code for scoring (p 622) to an RTS enviornment. I don't care about the lap or coin parts. I am mainly concerned with keeping track of kills so that the computer knows when to end the game.
A good example would be the trigger system from the starcraft map editor. What I'm trying to do is create a function that checks to see how many enemy units or structures of a certain type are left. If that type of unit is 0 then the game ends and cycles to the next mission.
In plain code it would look like this: ( I ghess)
datablock enemyhero(%obj, other stuff, probably the model definition)
{
Stuff that handles the behavior of the object and various living and dead event
}
function unitdeadtrigger
{
If Enemys_Left = 0
{
wait()
EndGame()
}
Else
{
}
what's the best way to do this?
