This example creates a marker inside Toreno's house and adds a command to check whether you are standing on it. 

theMarker = createMarker( -687.9, 937.8, 13.6, "cylinder", 2.0, 255, 0, 0, 80 ) -- create a red cylinder marker inside Toreno's house

function checkOnMarker ( thePlayer )
    local isIn = isPlayerInMarker( thePlayer, theMarker ) -- use the function to check if player is in the marker
    if isIn then
        outputChatBox( "You are on the marker.", thePlayer )
    else
        outputChatBox( "You are not on the marker.", thePlayer )
    end
end
addCommandHandler ( "amionmarker", checkOnMarker )

-- define the isPlayerInMarker function
function isPlayerInMarker( thePlayer, theMarker )
	local theShape = getElementColShape( theMarker ) -- get markers colshape
	if isElementWithinColShape( thePlayer, theShape ) then -- check if the player is in it

		return false
	end
end
