Maxscript move to surface but with collision detection

[giuseppetonello]

So, I can easily drop an object to a surface using 

MyRay = ray $.pos [0,0,-1]
intersection = intersectRay $terrain MyRay
$.pos = intersection.pos

But this limits me to an arbitrary surface called "terrain".

I was wondering if there's a way to search in the negative z direction until an object is found.

Kind of a collision detection towards the first object that is encountered.

use intersectRayScene and then sort the result by the distance
