Spawn prefab on ground

Code:

 [ChatCommand("chest")]
        private void cmdChatairbox(BasePlayer player, string command, string[] args)
        {
            string name = "assets/prefabs/misc/supply drop/supply_drop.prefab";
            chest.x = 555;
            chest.y = 44; <---- not ground
            chest.z = 555;
            BaseEntity entity = GameManager.server.CreateEntity(name, chest);
            entity.Spawn(true);
}

But how to spawn the entity on the ground??

 

I'd say use a ray cast something along the lines with hitting this layer.
floor = UnityEngine.LayerMask.GetMask("Terrain", "World");
I'm no expert at that though

 

@Wulf where abouts in the plugin is the working example?

 

Code:

        private static LayerMask GROUND_MASKS = LayerMask.GetMask("Terrain", "World", "Construction");
//Credit: Wulf
        static Vector3 GetGroundPosition(Vector3 sourcePos)
        {
            RaycastHit hitInfo;            if (Physics.Raycast(sourcePos, Vector3.down, out hitInfo, GROUND_MASKS))
            {
                sourcePos.y = hitInfo.point.y;
            }
            sourcePos.y = Mathf.Max(sourcePos.y, TerrainMeta.HeightMap.GetHeight(sourcePos));
            return sourcePos;
        }

Input the x and z coords in a vector 3 and it will return with the ground height

 

Thanks!
