Find non-water position inside area

[galzohar 31]

I thought about using bis_fnc_findsafepos, but that one is glitchy as hell. That is, many places simply have absolutely no safe position in any reasonable radius!

I really just need any land position within an area, that will always return a valid position, at least if such a position exists.

Of course it would be much nicer if there was something more reliable than bis_fnc_findsafepos in order to spawn stuff in a way that will not cause problems (clip with building/rock/tree, fly into sky, roll down the hill etc), but I doubt such a solution exists, so I'll just live with something that at least guarantees a land position.

have you tried isFlatEmpty?

Would this work for you?

It can blacklist water and houses, and even custom designated areas.

+1 on the link to Shuko. He's done some lovely stuff.

Thanks, looking inside his script shows the command surfaceIsWater which is basically what I was looking for.

Not sure about isFlatEmpty, it's quite unclear what it does and whether or not it will give similarly weird results similar to bis_fnc_findSafePos.
