How to check if a point is over water?

[HomShaBom]

I found a problem with my scarecrow mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=522640509) where it spawns birds around it periodically, but if you place it too close to the water, 2 bad things happen:

1. some birds get stuck in mid flight on the border between land and water
2. some birds actually land on the ocean

I am generating a point by taking a random angle and a random radius away from the scarecrow and then using the BirdSpawner to spawn a bird at that point. Obviously what's happening is if the scarecrow is too close to the water then the random point is *in* the water and then it tells the BirdSpawner to spawn a bird there.

There's got to be some kind of way to determine if a point is in the ocean, right? Does anyone know how?

if TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(x,y,z) ~= GROUND.IMPASSABLE then
	--code
end

Excellent. Thank you.
