Imagine this - I have a square area - I have the vector for the top lefthand corner and the vector for the bottom right hand corner. How can I check if a third vector is within the square.

Compare x and y coordinates of the third vector separately, making sure each is between the corresponding coordinates of the first and second vectors.

CODE

// inside rectangle test
vector upper_left;
vector bottom_right;
vector target;

default
    state_entry()
    {
        if ( target.y<bottom_right.y  || target.y>upper_left.y || target.x>bottom_right.x || target.x<upper_left.x )
            llOwnerSay("Outside");
        else llOwnerSay("Inside");
    }
}
