Hey guys, just looking for some advice as to how best to define areas within the world editor.

Intended usage:
1. Climate areas for different types of weather
2. City limits, how to determine if a player is within a certain region or city within the world
3. Areas required for completion of a quest.

My only current idea on how to do it would be to use the Material Type field in the terrain material, however I think this is more for stuff like sounds on the ground. This method would require me to define far more materials then necessary as well, so it is not ideal.

What are your thoughts on this?

The simplest - use some basic figures (square, circle), place them in WE and get their positions and scales.

You can surround city with waypoint with many points and in code load it and convert it as 2d polygon and do intersection tests

Thanks Esenthel will have to give that a try.

Exactly what I was thinking...
