Pathing is not working properly

[Uncle]

So I have an ability that creates a unit at the target point of ability being cast.

CreateUnit(Player(0), FourCC("h000"), x, y, 0)

I'm trying to prevent the unit from being created in unpathable areas but I can't seem to get it to work.

I tried testing the Pathing at the point before creating the unit:

Spoiler: Pathing Code (Lua)

function TestPoint(x, y)
    local tester = CreateUnit(Player(0), FourCC("h002"), x, y, 0)
    local ix
    local iy
    local dist
    local angle = 0
    local offset = 125

    local loc = Location(x, y)
    SetUnitPositionLoc(tester, loc)
    RemoveLocation(loc)
    UnitXTable[25] = GetUnitX(tester)
    UnitYTable[25] = GetUnitY(tester)

    --Check around the Unit for Pathable Locations
    for i=1,24 do
        angle = angle + 45
        ix = x + offset * Cos(angle)
        iy = y + offset * Sin(angle)
        loc = Location(ix, iy)
        SetUnitPositionLoc(tester, loc)
        RemoveLocation(loc)
        UnitXTable[i] = GetUnitX(tester)
        UnitYTable[i] = GetUnitY(tester)
        if i == 8 or i == 16 then
            angle = 0
            offset = offset + 125
        end
    end

    --Find closest pathable X and Y
    local getclosest = 99999
    for i=1,25 do
        ix = UnitXTable[i] - x
        iy = UnitYTable[i] - y
        dist = SquareRoot(ix * ix + iy * iy)
        print(i, "Distance", dist)
        if dist <= getclosest then
            getclosest = dist
            Winner = i
        end
    end

    --Finish
    local s = AddSpecialEffect("Abilities\\Spells\\Human\\DispelMagic\\DispelMagicTarget.mdl", UnitXTable[Winner], UnitYTable[Winner])
    DestroyEffect(s)
    print("Winner", Winner)
    RemoveUnit(tester)
end

TLDR, The function moves a test unit to 24 different points around the given x,y coordinates. After moving the unit I store it's current X/Y. The reason this works is because if the unit is moved somewhere unpathable then Warcraft 3's pathing system kicks in and pushes it to the nearest pathable location. Finally, I compare the distance between the original x/y coordinates and the stored values to find the closest pathable point. I then create my unit at that point.

This works, and it should work as many people have done this before.

However, the issue is more about an inconsistency. Check out the picture I attached, for whatever reason the left side of the cliff works as intended but the right side completely ignores my Pathing function. It's like the Pathing is turned off over there, but it's weird because the cliffs/doodads will still block movement.

Edit: I deleted some nearby cliffs and now neither side works... No clue what's going on.

I'm guessing this a Reforged issue?

yes this has actually happened to me with blockers also... not sure whats with that.
