Ok, so let me get this straight.

So I can take any statement like

(ai_place enc_1)

and turn it into a if-then statement like:
if_ai_place enc_1_true
object_create box

Which would say that if I placed this AI encounter, create this box.

Can you just script like that with almost any true\false statement?

You would have to do it like this:

After you know you have used (ai_place enc_1), if you want to check if you have spawned this encounter before making a box:

(if (> (ai_living_count enc_1) 0) (object_create box) <else do this> )

Note that you needn't fill in the else part, it is optional.
Oh and ai_place simply spawns your encounter, it does not return a boolean (true/false) statement.

You should try to use hs_doc alongside you whenever you do scripting, and look at existing scripts to check how they accomplish things you need to do.

Alllllllllllrighy then!

Here's the syntax: if condition then (else)

condition can be (= ("AI is dead?") "true")
Since = looks weird I'll explain it: = condition_a condition_b (It is set up to return a value such as "Is condition_a equal to condition_b?" (true/false), also, you can use >, or < as well)
And (else) is optional.

You replace condition with your condition, and replace then with your command

So yeah, it would end up as what TM_updates just said.

So it's like this?

(if ai_living_count wave1) 0) 15)
(object_create box)
)

I've got my "condition" and my "then."

If your trying to make th script: if wave1 has been placed, create box, then you need to change the living count to the number of enemies in the encounter.

No, you do not have a condition. I literaly told you exactly what to do in my previous reply. Using the <, >, = operators compares stuff...hence a condition is attained.

Alright.

Just remember what I posted about changing the 0 to the number of units in the encounter
