currently there are no variables local to functions (i assume that this is what you would want to see) Also there are no arrays of synonyms yet. There are several things in the works for wdl but not yet available. A function synoym is like a pointer to a function. This way generic function can call different other functions without knowing their actual names .... It just calls the synonym function. The synonym has to be set by other functions otherwise you get an empty synonym error.
Back to your orig. problem. Because there are no local variables yet, you have two choices ... either place an invisible entity into your level and use it's entity skills (SKILL1 to SKILL48) or use global variables.
