Example

This example creates a hill area for a King of the hill gamemode. When a player enters or leaves the area, it's announced in the chatbox.

-- create our hill area for our gamemode
local hillArea = createColRectangle ( -2171.0678710938, 678.17950439453, 15, 15 )

-- add hill_Enter as a handler for when a player enters the hill area
function hill_Enter ( thePlayer, matchingDimension )
        if getElementType ( thePlayer ) == "player" then --if the element that entered was player
                --let's get the name of the player
                local nameOfThePlayer = getPlayerName ( thePlayer )
	        --announce to everyone that the player entered the hill
	        outputChatBox ( nameOfThePlayer.." entered the zone!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 109 )
        end
end
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", hillArea, hill_Enter )

-- add hill_Enter as a handler for when a player leaves the hill area
function hill_Exit ( thePlayer, matchingDimension )
        if getElementType ( thePlayer ) == "player" then --if the element that left was player
	        --check if the player is not dead
	        if isPlayerDead ( thePlayer ) ~= true then
                        --let's get the name of the player
                        local nameOfThePlayer = getPlayerName ( thePlayer )
	        	--if he was alive, announce to everyone that the player has left the hill
	        	outputChatBox ( nameOfThePlayer.." left the zone!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 109 )
	        end
        end
