Sure, get the trigger shape with (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/triggerArea) and the create the marker. E.g.:

_trigger = _this select 0;
_MarkerName = _this select 1;

_area = triggerArea _trigger;
_marker = createMarker [_MarkerName, position _trigger];
_MarkerName setMarkerSize [_area select 0, _area select 1];
if (_area select 3) then {_MarkerName setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE"} else {_MarkerName setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE"};
_MarkerName setMarkerDir _area select 2;
//_MarkerName setMarkerColor "ColorBlue"; or someting https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setMarkerColor
//_MarkerName setMarkerText "Some text";

Save it as markerDraw.sqf and call it by using _nul = [nameOfTrigger, "SomeName"] execVM "markerDraw.sqf".

_mrk = [ "mytrigMrk", myTrigger ] call BIS_fnc_markerToTrigger;
_mrk setMarkerBrush "Border";

Where myTrigger is the name given to the trigger in Eden and "mytrigMrk" is the name of the marker to create. The function returns the created marker.

markerToTrigger;

 

Those functions are totally named wrong/backwards.  Should have been triggerToMarker or markerFromTrigger...  Slightly confusing.

I dont know, makes sense once you know they are there.

I want to change a MARKER TO a TRIGGERs dimensions. BIS_fnc_markerToTrigger

I want to change a TRIGGER TO a MARKERs dimensions. BIS_fnc_triggerToMarker

_mrk = [ "mytrigMrk", myTrigger ] call BIS_fnc_markerToTrigger;
_mrk setMarkerBrush "Border";

Where myTrigger is the name given to the trigger in Eden and "mytrigMrk" is the name of the marker to create. The function returns the created marker.
