Check if object in marker

[HazJ 1288]

Hello,

I am rewriting a mission for 1.64 EOL. It is a total pain sometimes as being so used to A3 and all. A lot of commands and functions are not available. What I am a looking for is an equivalent of inArea command or inTrigger? I want to check if an object is inside a marker. Although BIS_fnc_inTrigger is in A2, the marker syntax (STRING) doesn't appear to be.

 Error position: Type String, expected Object,Location
File ca\modules\functions\misc\fn_inTrigger.sqf, line 23

Anyone know? If not, I'll just have to write my own function. Just wanted to see if there is something already.

Not tested, but maybe try using blacklist checking.

 

_item = "myMarkerName";

_newlist = [];

 

// from ACM's blacklistArea function (BIS_ACM_blacklistAreaFunc), registering a blacklist marker area,

// _tl and _br represent top-left and bottom-right positions of the marker:

private ["_pos", "_size", "_tl", "_br"];
_pos = markerPos _item;
_size = markerSize _item;
_tl = [(_pos select 0) - (_size select 0), (_pos select 1) + (_size select 1)];
_br = [(_pos select 0) + (_size select 0), (_pos select 1) - (_size select 1)];


_newList = _newList + [[_tl, _br]];

//  Should return true if object position is in the marker boundaries.

_inArea = [(position _object), _newlist] call BIS_fnc_isPosBlacklisted;
