creating geometry out of locators?
if yes, I´d be happy!
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

You could do it, but you may have to write a little script to help you. I've used a similar process (I didn't write the script though, I'm not too hot with Mel). I guess what the script would do is look at all of the locators, and triangulate them all to create the surface, but I'm not 100% sure. Another method that I've used to create a terrain out of Boujou locators is I just created a poly plane that was subdivided a few times, and started snapping points to the locators. I then kept going over the plane subdividing it and snapping points, and finished up using the sculpt poly tool to finish off. I managed to create a really nice, accurate terrain doing this, that tracked perfectly. I don't think that there is a really quick method, it depends on how accurate you need it to be.

polyCreateFacet -ch on -tx 1 -s 1 -p locator1 -p locator2 -p locator3 ;
this is the basic createPolygon operation. does following thoughts make sense -> ?
to collect all locators position and store it in an array.
select first locator and search for 2 nearest locators.
use 3 locators to create a polygon with above operation.
delete those 3 locators from the array.
hm..
