I have some code for both which is much better than this, but I don't have access to it here. I'll post it when I get home.

@ Exolent: I want a random origin in the map, but it must be reachable for a player. It's for the coins thing from earlier today.

@ hawk552: Thanks, i have found a thirth problem to. i spawn 2 things, a box and a coin. But they spawn in eachother. Maybe your new code fixes that to?

Thanks anyway for replying so fast.

You can take code from here for random reachable origins throughout a map.

That's kind of slow. I have something that runs faster but isn't as accurate.

Well, it's purpose is for a one-time use, then save the results.
It can be modified to find more than just 32 spawn points so that they can be generated for say 100 different locations then saved.
When you need one for the player, just find the closest 5 and choose a random one.
That should be enough.

As long as i can place 20 entity's and a player can reach them, i'm happy. I looked at GHW's code, but i find it very complicated.

If you don't mind the one-time getting and saving, then you should use his. I gather that mine is no where near as accurate, though I could be wrong.

[drekes]

Could you define accurate a bit more?
You mean some will not be reachable?

My code just picks random spots and checks if the point itself is clear of random shit using point contents and hull tracing. It isn't necessarily reachable. The only good way to determine whether or not something is reachable is to save player origins once in a while, but that disables it for the first run unless you temporarily substitute some other algorithm while it's getting good coordinates.

Sorry, but my english is not that good, i don't understand this part

but that disables it for the first run unless you temporarily substitute some other algorithm while it's getting good coordinates.

The ent should be reachable at all times. So i guess i should use exolents link?

EDIT: i looked at Exolents link again, but i don't understand the code. I'm having big problems with the spawn things. I also checked CSDM code. But that's even more complicated that GHW_Chronic's one.
