Yes, this is the interface which I imagined too. However, I'd replace
The problem where Carli felt offended and left the discussion was the issue with the timer. Most findobject loops are NOT not called each and every frame - because of thoughts about speed. Now of course it is possible to add another parameter to the control zone. But I am still against this because with that we hide the real complexity from the developer so that he does not directly see anymore how expensive this really is. Additionally, he has less control over how will be searched - e.g. he always needs to specifiy a box and can not specify a maximum distance or a point.
And for what? For not having to write this
but this
The actual gain is in my opinion a very small or none.

for(var obj = FindObjects(mycriteria)) { dosomething(obj); } in a timer call or effectbut this
AddControlZone(boxx, boxxy, boxwidth, boxheight, mycriteria, "dosomething", "dosomething_orperhapsnot");The actual gain is in my opinion a very small or none.
