Maybe he tries to add four shapes within the selection divided by two columns and two rows. If it's green, I have an adaptation of a @Chuck Uebele script here...

I don't know why you need it, but here's:

#target photoshop

var s2t = stringIDToTypeID,
    t2s = typeIDToStringID;

try { var target = t2s(arguments[1]) } catch (e) { }

try {
    if (target) {
        (r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('tool'));
        r.putEnumerated(s2t('application'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
        var tool = t2s(executeActionGet(r).getEnumerationType(s2t('tool')));
        if (tool == 'marqueeRectTool') {
            (r = new ActionReference()).putClass(s2t('path'));
            (d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t('null'), r);
            (r1 = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('selectionClass'), s2t('selection'));
            d.putReference(s2t('from'), r1);
            executeAction(s2t('make'), d, DialogModes.NO);

            (r = new ActionReference()).putClass(s2t('contentLayer'));
            (d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t('null'), r);
            (d1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putObject(s2t('color'), s2t('RGBColor'), new ActionDescriptor());
            (d2 = new ActionDescriptor()).putObject(s2t('type'), s2t('solidColorLayer'), d1);
            d.putObject(s2t('using'), s2t('contentLayer'), d2);
            executeAction(s2t('make'), d, DialogModes.NO);

            (r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('channel'), s2t('selection'));
            (d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t('null'), r);
            d.putEnumerated(s2t('to'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('none'));
            executeAction(s2t('set'), d, DialogModes.NO);
        }
    } else {
        app.notifiersEnabled = true
        var f = File($.fileName)
        app.notifiers.add('setd', f, 'Chnl')
    }
} catch (e) { alert(e) }

* save the script to disk and run. On first launch, it will create an event listener and then track the creation of the selection with the marqueeRectTool.

** you can manually remove the event listener menu: file -> scripts -> script event manager

OK. I misunderstood you.

Is that possible to create Shape in Marquee Tool ?
By @MXKS

I am not a scripter, but to do it without scripts, draw your rectangle marquee selection(s)
In the Paths panel, convert to a path

With the path selected, go to Edit > Define Custome Shape and give it a name.

It is possible through the Script Event Manager.

But this is not convenient and difficult. In addition, you will lose the main functionality of the tool.

And in general, why is this necessary?

Easier to call a script or action

Please Modify the script ,

1:- Marquee tool Select Area

2:- Create Shape in if i have enter row and column
