Description

Description:
Checks whether given position or object is inside given area. Use inAreaArray to check multiple positions/objects within area.
By default all positions given as Array or as objects are treated as PositionAGL. Since Arma 3 logo black.png2.20 there is an option to force them to PositionWorld format.
This command also supports hexagon area which can be created from ellipse when both a and b are negative. Hexagon ellipses are also supported by both marker creation and drawEllipse.
Groups:
TriggersMarkersLocationsPositions

Syntax

Syntax:
position inArea area
Parameters:
position: Object or Array in format Position2D or Position3D (must be PositionAGL if area is checked in 3D)
area: Object, String, Location
Return Value:
Boolean

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:
position inArea [center, a, b, angle, isRectangle, c, usePosWorld]
Parameters:
position: - Object and/or Position to check. Position must be PositionAGL if area is checked in 3D (see note in description)
center: Array or Object - center of the area in format Position2D, Position3D (must be PositionAGL if area is checked in 3D), Object or Group
a: Number - x axis (x / 2)
b: Number - y axis (y / 2)
angle: Number - (Optional since 2.20, Default: 0) rotation angle
isRectangle: Boolean - (Optional since 2.20, Default: false) true if rectangle, false if ellipse
since Arma 3 logo black.png1.60
c: Number - (Optional, default -1 (unlimited)) z axis (z / 2)
since Arma 3 logo black.png2.20
usePosWorld: Boolean - (Optional, default false) set to true to treat all positions as PositionWorld
Return Value:
Boolean

Examples

Example 1:
_playerIsInside = player inArea _myTrigger;
Example 2:
_positionIsInside = _myPosition inArea [[100, 100, 0], 20, 30, 45, false];
