Random coords within a RADIUS

I’ll just drop off a lua example, in case you you need it.

local radius = 100.0
local coords = vector3(1653.15, 2517.33, 45.56) -- Replace with the desired coordinates

local x = coords.x + math.random(-radius, radius)
local y = coords.y + math.random(-radius, radius)

local spawnOnPavement = false -- Change this if you want to spawn the ped on the nearest pavement

local foundSafeCoords, safeCoords = GetSafeCoordForPed(x, y, coords.z, spawnOnPavement , 16)

if not foundSafeCoords then -- The native couldn't find a safe spawn point, in which case we'll calculate the coordinates ourselves. It would probably be better to just not spawn the ped at this coordinates, and recalculate it.
    local z = 0

    repeat
        local onGround, safeZ = GetGroundZFor_3dCoord(coords)
        if not onGround then
            z = z + 0.1
        end
    until onGround

    safeCoords = vector3(x, y, safeZ)
end

local ped = CreateRandomPed(safeCoords.x, safeCoords.y, safeCoords.z)
