I am trying to make a spot where the player walks by an area, and will later walk by that area again and the 2nd time it triggers ai to spawn. I've tried to script this, but so far I've only gotten it to work when both of the triggers were together and the player is standing on both of them.
here is the script I've done so far.

I want to make it so that the 2nd trigger volume is activated by the 1st one and the 2nd trigger then spawns an ai.

Firstly, (volume_test_objects tests a trigger volume against a list of objects. In fact, i'm surprised the script compiles with just a single object but idk, haven't scripted anything in a while. You'd want to use (volume_test_object, which is just more efficient.

Here's a script that should work. Im writing freehand so bear with me:

(script static unit player
	(unit (list_get (players) 0))
)

(script dormant LaunchAmbush
	(ai_place ambush)
)

(script dormant EnableAmbush
	(sleep_until (volume_test_object "AmbushEnableTrigger" (player)))
	(game_save)
	(sleep_until (volume_test_object "AmbushTrigger" (player)))
	(wake LaunchAmbush)
)

(script startup Start
	(fade_in 0 0 0 200)
	(wake EnableAmbush)
)

Let me know if it works.

You could, but it actually ends up being close to the same amount of code and doesnt really buy you anything except being able to determine if the ambush was already launched or not, which may be useful depending on the circumstance. Because the ambush is a one time occurence, I think it is nicer to execute it and forget about it, but it all comes down to preference.
