−	The function appears to assume that the lLoc parameter represents a valid safe location. If it is valid but not safe, it will be adjusted to the nearest safe location and the object will be created there instead. This is not completely confirmed, but it is clear that placeables cannot be created above the ground level in the air (z-coordinate gets adjusted). However, using SetPosition after creating the object allows you to immediately move the object to an unsafe location if that is desired (see the custom function provided in the example below).	+	The function appears to assume that the lLoc parameter represents a valid safe location.
