If you placed a trigger on map, just name it (say myTrigger or what ever you want), then check if the marker I named _mk in the script is inArea of this variable name like this:

 

_MGI_taskOnMarker = addMissionEventHandler ["map",{
  if (_this select 0) then {
    [] spawn {
      _mks = allMapMarkers;
      private ["_tgt","_tgtText","_mk"];
      while {visibleMap && hasInterface} do {
        waitUntil {!(_mks isEqualTo allMapMarkers)};
        if (count allMapMarkers > 0) then {
          _mk = allMapMarkers select (count allMapMarkers - 1);
          if (_mk inArea myTrigger) then { < do what you want > };
        };
        _mks = allMapMarkers;
      };
    };
  };
}];

Pierre: Yeah that's exactly what i done, as you told me to do, but the script doesn't recognize the area or the trigger variable name, I don't know why.

So i tried what Larrow posted, and finally succeeded! Pierre's way was easier to edit the zone but this isn't a big deal.

 

Thanks to both of you!

In the script, the marker _mk is the one the player just placed.

I guess you have a trigger with an area somewhere. Name it (mytrigger for example).

Then in the script you can check on a condition:

if (_mk inArea mytTrigger) then  {....};

 

NB: That works also with another marker ellipse or rectangle type. No need to be a trigger.

 

How sould I define mytTrigger? I have an error : Undefined variable in expression: mytTrigger.

I search on the forums but don't figured out how to define my trigger/area in the script.

 

Thank you for your previous messages.
