You have 1 example in this thread (lua math. function for circular zone) : Scripting Question - Mission Editor Discussion and Questions - ED Forums (eagle.ru)

and 2 examples in this thread (mist functions for circular or poly zones) : Activating all "late activated" units in a zone - Mission Editor Discussion and Questions - ED Forums (eagle.ru)

so distance form center point of circular zone or mist.pointInPolygon() which gets waypoints of a unit (like borders in MOOSE).
how should I handle the new rectangle zones?

Like in the 'mist function for poly zone' example, you can use vehicle wpt to border/match your M.E. square zone.

thanks! I'll play around with it and see how it handles
