Doodads not on ground - help please

The trigger works fine but I can't get the trees to be placed on the group (some are in the air).

Code:

Trees
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 2000, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Region - Center Placer <gen> on (Random point in (Playable map area))
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Distance between (Center of Placer <gen>) and (Position of (Random destructible in Placer <gen>))) Less than or equal to 200.00
                    Then - Actions
                    Else - Actions
                        Set Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 11)
                        Destructible - Create a Destructible_Type[Integer] at (Center of Placer <gen>) facing (Random angle) with scale (Random real number between 0.80 and 1.00) and variation Destructible_Var[Integer]

Mmmm...thats interesting.

Ok, I just wrote out a trigger like yours... granted its a little more simple, but none of the trees appear in the air. I cant really give any explaination for this... its very odd.

Code:

Melee Initialization
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.20 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1000, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Destructible - Create a Summer Tree Wall at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing (Random angle) with scale (Random real number between 0.70 and 1.00) and variation 0

The only reason I can think of is possibly your terrain...

Oh, here is something I just dug up, its JASS, if you need explanation just ask:

Code:

native          CreateDestructableZ         takes integer objectid, real x, real y, real z, real face, real scale, integer variation returns destructable

You can just set the Z to whatever you want... that should help as well.

Maybe I should have added a bit more information. First use triggers to change the shape of the terrain then I use another trigger to add the trees in but some of the trees are kind of in the air right above the ground.

I'm thinking I need two more triggers. One for checking the tree height (Z) and another to move the tree up or down. The problem Is is I don't see any triggers for this.

Also I don't know much about jass (though I use it sometimes) so I don't know how to use

Code:

native          CreateDestructableZ         takes integer objectid, real x, real y, real z, real face, real scale, integer variation returns destructable

Guest	Are the levitating trees close to another tree? If so, Warcraft might be stacking them to let them fit.

They shouldn't. My trigger makes sure there are no trees for 200point around the doodad.

Code:

Trees
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 2000, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Region - Center Placer <gen> on (Random point in (Playable map area))
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                       [b] (Distance between (Center of Placer <gen>) and (Position of (Random destructible in Placer <gen>))) Less than or equal to 200.00[/b]
                    Then - Actions
                    Else - Actions
                        Set Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 11)
                        Destructible - Create a Destructible_Type[Integer] at (Center of Placer <gen>) facing (Random angle) with scale (Random real number between 0.80 and 1.00) and variation Destructible_Var[Integer]
