Notes:

Once this function is run, it will start a continuously evaluated process that will set flag flag true if map objects (such as bridges, buildings in town, etc.) die (or have died) in a mission editor zone (or set of zones). This will only happen once; once the flag flag is set true, the process ends Mist 3.5 allows for strings to be used to define flags.
