/*
	Author: Karel Moricky, tweaked by Rarek

	Description:
	Selects random position withing trigger area

	Parameter(s):
	_this select 0:
		OBJECT - trigger (automatically sets area param)
		ARRAY - position
		STRING - marker
	_this select 1:
		NUMBER - radius around position set in param 0.
		ARRAY - trigger settings in format of triggerArea command

	Returns:
	ARRAY - [x,y,z]
