	DMS_fnc_FindSafePos
	Created by eraser1
	

	ALL PARAMETERS ARE OPTIONAL (as long as configs are properly defined).
	Excluding parameters will create some RPT spam, but it's not too much of an issue.

	Usage:
	[
		_nearestObjectMinDistance,	// NUMBER (distance): Minimum distance from the nearest object.
		_waterNearLimit,			// NUMBER (distance): Minimum distance from water.
		_maxSurfaceNormal,			// NUMBER (between 0-1): Maximum "surfaceNormal"; Basically determines how steep a position is. Check the comment for config value "DMS_MaxSurfaceNormal" in config.sqf for more info
		_spawnZoneNearLimit,		// NUMBER (distance): Minimum distance from a spawn point.
		_traderZoneNearLimit,		// NUMBER (distance): Minimum distance from a trader zone.
		_missionNearLimit,			// NUMBER (distance): Minimum distance from another mission.
		_playerNearLimit,			// NUMBER (distance): Minimum distance from a player.
		_throttleParams				// BOOLEAN: Whether or not some of the distance values should be throttled on repeated attempts.
	] call DMS_fnc_findSafePos;
