I'd like to request a variation of inAreaArray command that returns matching indexes instead of array elements. Non-object entities have to be represented as positions and to determine which non-object entity was matched by the command, you have to resort to hacky approaches like storing indexes as position Z coordinate which creates additional overhead for high-performing scripts, for which inAreaArray command very useful.

Additional Information
Current inAreaArray output:
[ [0,0,0], [100,0,0], [200,0,0] ] inAreaArrayIndexes [[0,0,0], 150, 150]
>[[0,0,0],[100,0,0]]
Proposed inAreaArrayIndexes output:
[ [0,0,0], [100,0,0], [200,0,0] ] inAreaArrayIndexes [[0,0,0], 150, 150]
>[0,1]

You can just store them as hashmaps now

Did tests for all possible combination, works properly. Shitty test code:

New command is great, but I'd also like to request tweaks to existing commands, here are the tickets:
T171744 - Have inAreaArray and inAreaArrayIndexes take ENTITY as argument like inArea does
T171699 - Have inPolygon take ENTITY as argument
T171524 - inAreaArray variant that takes both list of areas and list of positions to check

Bug found in inAreaArrayIndexes, it ignores c for height:
private _area = [positionCameraToWorld [0,0,0], 20, 20, 0, true, 20];
[
[player] inAreaArrayIndexes _area
,[player] inAreaArray _area
]
