Summary0003737: AllowStartPosition returns the wrong height
Descriptiongadget:AllowStartPosition(x,y,z) returns the y value of the height at the point where the mouse clicked, not the point where the startpoint was placed.

These can be different because if you click outside of a startbox spring auto-places the startpoint on the edge of the box.
Steps To ReproduceMake a startbox for yourself that doesn't cover the whole map. Use the gadget below. Try to place a startpoint for yourself outside of the startbox, on a point which is obviously different height to the nearest point to your startbox. Check output from gadget.

function gadget:AllowStartPosition(x,y,z,playerID)
    Spring.Echo(x,y,z)
    yh = Spring.GetGroundHeight(x,z)
    Spring.Echo(x,yh,z)
    return true
end

See screenshot from the output of doing exactly this.
Additional Information*Pleaaaase* make sure you don't change that when the engine auto-places a startpoint it places that startpoint with a y value of -500. This is the *only* way I have of telling if a startpoint was genuinely placed by a player (as opposed to, if the player failed to ready and engine did it).

 For screenshot, mouse was click just down the cliff from where startpoint is shown (mouse doesn't show on screenshot, lol).

This is basically the same bug as http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=3678 except now I think I found the cause!
