Here is the code i am using right now for tier 2:

raycast from your position to the returned co-ords then use
// get the ray cast intersect point
intersect_x# = GetObjectRayCastX(0)
intersect_y# = GetObjectRayCastY(0)
intersect_z# = GetObjectRayCastZ(0)
to find the point of impact
you will want to check you actually hit something first by checking your raycast is greater than 0 though
