Try removing and re-adding the triggers in the order they have to happen. I have read of issues where, if one of the triggers is out of sequence, the MA will throw that error.
I actually did have them in the correct sequential order, I even created them in that order. However, after deleting and recreating the second mission, it seemed to fix the problem. Guess the Architect still has a few bugs. Thanks for the help Clorius.

Yeah, the Architect has some kinks to be worked out yet - hopefully the next build will fix alot of issues we are seeing with it (like this one).
Glad I could help.

What I want to happen is this: $ Destructible objects (PPD Cars) need to be destroyed first, then the Swat shows up an 3 PPD Swats Vans need to be destroyed.

Going off of Clorius' correct advice, you want your objectives like so:
1. Destructible Object - PPD Cars - required mission objective
2. Destructible Object - PPD SWAT Vans - required mission objective - This object is created when Destructible Object - PPD SWAT Vans is complete.
Now you can also hang some ambushes and patrols on those events; Destructible Objects have 3 stages of damage, and each can be a trigger for an event. You can spawn an ambush to defend the object when it is at 1/2 health, for example.
But going back to what Clorius said, the important thing is that they are on your mission objectives list in the order that you want them to happen. They can work if they are out of order; it's just that they are much more likely to fail.
More on this here.
EDIT: ...aaaand it looks like y'all solved the problem while I was typing that.

I am trying to make a mission where the villain has to clear out a police barricade. What I want to happen is this: $ Destructible objects (PPD Cars) need to be destroyed first, then the Swat shows up an 3 PPD Swats Vans need to be destroyed. I get this message when I try to test the mission, however: A mission has an invalid detail trigger or an ambush without no trigger. The field Trigger begins with white space.
Is it simply not possible to chain destroy object missions together? Anyone have a similar problem and know how to get around it?
