Identify player locations - SapMan - 20.12.2018

I made a text drawing on my server to warn the player where it is. Example: "Place: Los Santos". But how do I know exactly where it is? By this I mean to know if it is in "Las venturas", "los santos", "san fierro", "airport (Ls, Lv or Sf)", "the beach", etc. and so with more places.

Get the player's position https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/GetPlayerPos and check if he's in a range https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint try using the wiki its helpful

Sorry, I was also referring to whether to use a timer to detect when the player enters a zone or use "OnPlayerEnterDynamicArea"

If I use the timer do I have to use it in OngamemodeInit or OnPlayerConnect?

Start it per-player at onplayerconnect and kill it at onplayerdisconnect

So, would it be better to use a timer than "OnPlayerEnterDynamicArea"? I use "CreateDynamicRectangle" for zones.

Think logically.

When does 'OnPlayerEnterDynamicArea' get called? When a player enters a dynamic area.

"I use "CreateDynamicRectangle" for zones"..

What do you think the answer would be?
