Does anyone know how to prevent the animals from being spawned on the roofs?

Does anyone know how to prevent the animals from being spawned on the roofs? It’s quite annoying and I haven’t found anything to prevent it

Try incorporating GetSafeCoordForPed into the entity spawn logic, might help

If I implement this, it is always false. Did I implement it correctly (new coords are always (0.0, 0.0, 0.0))?

Thank you very much I got it solved. The problem was the boolean in GetSafeCoordForPed
