Coloring an area/region?

Hello

I'm looking for a way to color or outline a certain area or region in the game. I'm trying to place a slightly mis-colored or outlined region around a player's Town Hall that will designate how far away from the Town Hall the player can build.

Also, if anyone would happen to know how to prevent someone from building beyond a Town Hall-centered region, that would be great too.

Thank you in advance.
 
I could make a special effect for you that would make a layer of transperant color. You can attatch it to the origin of the townhall. Then you would need a custom path texture to. I need to know how big this area is going to be.
Turn on the medium grid in WE and count the number of squares that shall be unbuildable (10x10, 5x5 e.t.c).
I still need to know what color you want on it.
 
I think I'll go with the Aura solution, it's easier to implement. Thank you for your generous offer, though, Thrikodius :) And thanks AJalex. I'm just getting back into editing maps, and it seems I'm a bit rusty.
