| Checks whether given position is inside given area. The area is usually a rectangle or an ellipse defined similar to [[triggerArea]] format. Hence argument for this command could be a trigger, a marker, a location or an array in format [center, a, b, angle, isRectangle, c]. 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]].

Description

Description:
Checks whether given position or object is inside given area. Use inAreaArray to check multiple positions/objects within area.
ⓘ
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.
