12 nm from land triggers

[feld]

Question: Anyone have an easy way of trapping it when the player approaches within 12 nm from land of a country?

Background: Navigating a submarine submerged within the territorial waters of another nation is a violation of international law according to UN Conference on the Law of the Sea 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Convention_on_the_Law_of_the_Sea). Yes I've read Blind Man's Bluff and but the premise of my scenario is that the player must stay outside of the territoral waters of a given nation.

The only way I can see to do this is a bunch of overlapping goal-destination triggers manually placed on the map providing a point penalty when player violates goes within 12 nm of points on the given country's coast. Maybe if they stay inside 12nm long enough I get them detected an it precipitates an attack or a war.

Any thoughts?

That's pretty much how it's done. The bigger you can make the trigger radius, the flatter the boundary line will be. It can get tricky on a swiggly coastline or an embayment.

Ok. Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes. That's exactly how I've done it in some of my missions.
