spawn the "thing" using this, but to get the "distance where player can and cant see" part then you might need to do some work.

assuming a flat area that the player is standing on then you just constrain your y, and get random values for your x, and z values of the position. just use

 Vector3 position = Vector3.zero;
 position.x = Random.Range(player.position.x-xVary,player.position.x+xVary) // player is the transform of the player, and xVary is a public float (for balancing)

but before you use that vector in the instantiate then you might want to do a Physics.RayCast() to see if that would be in line of the player (if there is a lot of things around the player like dense forest this might get tricky), but for the not off the edge of the world thing just do a RayCast(position, Vector3.Down)

mind you that this was assuming a large flat area, and if you have a lot of hills, or uneven terrain then this will require a fare bit of modifications
