Summary
SUMMARY: Bugfixes "Fix monsters spawn not giving precedence to designated location"
Purpose of change
Fixes the issue where monsters were not being placed in their designated locations, but rather a random location within range. Caused by the refactoring in #33244 which unintentionally changed the behavior--previously the game would first attempt to spawn the monster at the requested location, and then fall back to a random location. After the update, it would just pick a random location immediately.
Describe the solution
Reintroduced the logic of first attempting placement in the designated location, and then falling back to a random point, while retaining the improvement in random point selection.
Additional context
Most noticeable with turret spawning in lab surface entry location, which always had their turrets placed at a specific location, but after #33244 were placing them in random locations.
