I'm attempting to define a cuboid trigger volume and I'd like the know the best way to determine when it's been activated, i.e. when a player enters the volume.

I was originally hoping I could spawn a trigger multiple, but found several old topics stating it was not possible to spawn brush based entities.

If I have a volume defined by 8 position coordinates, what is the best way to determine if a player is within the volume?

The volume may not be perfectly rectangular or square.

Thanks.

PS. If it's now possible to spawn trigger multiples I'd love to know how.

Thanks, that's awesome.

I did search, I just didn't see this topic.

Btw, you only need two position coordinates to create a cuboid. The rest can be calculated.

He said not rectangular. This can be done with OnGameFrame and math (i mean geometry...).

Yes, I know

The difficulty I'm having is when I have a non-rectangular shape, e.g. a trapezoid, I'm not sure how to determine when someone is in the volume. Currently I check if they're within the min/max coords, but that doesn't always work .

My maths isn't very good and I was hoping for some help there, or being pointed in the right direction. I did a general google search for how to do this and found many sites with very complex methods of determining if something is in a volume; which I didn't really understand.

Thanks.
