I stayed up all night figuring this one out. Just how do you find the floor from a position. Well Ive got your answer.

As you can see angles are not x,y,z. Its actually pitch,yaw,roll

PHP Code:

new Float:pos[3];
new Float:floor[3];
new Float:ceiling[3];
new Float:direction[3];
new Handle:trace;
new Float:totalHeight;

for(new i = 0; i < 11; ++i)
{
    pos[0] = GetRandomFloat(MapX[0],MapX[1]);
    pos[1] = GetRandomFloat(MapY[0],MapY[1]);
    pos[2] = GetRandomFloat(MapZ[0],MapZ[1]);
    direction[0] = 89.0;//thats right you'd think its a z value - this will point you down
    trace = TR_TraceRayEx(pos, direction,MASK_PLAYERSOLID_BRUSHONLY, RayType_Infinite);
    if(TR_DidHit(trace))
    {
        TR_GetEndPosition(floor, trace);
    }
    direction[0] = -89.0;//this will point you up
    trace = TR_TraceRayEx(pos, direction,MASK_PLAYERSOLID_BRUSHONLY, RayType_Infinite);
    if(TR_DidHit(trace))
    {
        TR_GetEndPosition(ceiling, trace);
    }
    //I find the height below to prevent players from becoming stuck
    if (ceiling[2] < 0 && floor[2] < 0)
    {
        totalHeight = FloatAbs(ceiling[2]) - FloatAbs(floor[2]);
    }
    else if (ceiling[2] > 0 && floor[2] > 0)
    {
        totalHeight = ceiling[2] - floor[2];
    }
    else
    {
        totalHeight = FloatAbs(ceiling[2]) + FloatAbs(floor[2]);
    }
    if (FloatAbs(totalHeight) > 75.0)
    {
        pos[2] = floor[2] + 20;//once again keep those players out of the dirt
        i = 11;
    }
}
