This is fairly simple and you should have tried it yourself. I'm sure that when you'll read the code below you'll say "Oh, of course, I could have done it easily"... right ?

function autoDup() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
  var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
  var newData = [];
  for(var n in data){
    newData.push(data[n]);
    if(!Number(data[n][2])){continue};// if column 3 is not a number then do nothing
    for(var c=1 ; c < Number(data[n][2]) ; c++){ // start from 1 instead of 0 because we have already 1 copy
      newData.push(data[n]);//store values
    }
  }
  sheet.getRange(1,1,newData.length,newData[0].length).setValues(newData);// write new data to sheet, overwriting old data
}
