	DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition
	Created by eraser1

	Usage:
	[
		_pos,						// ARRAY (position): The position to check.
		_waterNearLimit,			// NUMBER (distance): Minimum distance from water.
		_minSurfaceNormal,			// NUMBER (between 0-1): Maximum "surfaceNormal"; Basically determines how steep a position is. Check the comment for config value "DMS_MinSurfaceNormal" 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.
		_waterSpawn					// BOOLEAN: Whether or not the mission is supposed to spawn on water.
	] call DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition;

	All parameters except "_pos" are optional.

	Returns whether or not the provided position matches the parameters.
