Problem description:

Spent a few minutes trying to learn about area prototype and a bit more about lists. So now I am trying to do a Capture Area system, I've been testing step by step and got to a point that it doesn't say anything when I enter the area that I put on the map. It should sy that I am capturing it, I've checked my logs and it doesn't even say that my list is null or w/e. Also if there's any part of my code that should be simplified, please notify me and give me a hint!
And here's a question, is there a way to make this area by default like 4x4 in the map ? Or I have to put it in the map and set the same ID on each instance placed in the map ?

Thanks in advance!
