Generating Figures: No Unoccupied Squares

im sure this has been answered before but my search-fu is weak today. If im generating a figure from outside the game (and am placing it adjacent to the character who did the generating) but there are no adjacent unoccupied squares am i out of luck and cant generate the figure? or do i place it the nearest unoccupied square?

2) THE RULE OF OCCUPANCY Any effect resulting in two or more characters occupying the same square is prohibited. Any effect resulting in characters, markers, or objects occupying a square of blocking terrain is prohibited except for clear and debris markers. If a non-optional effect that places a game element would cause either situation to occur, the opponent chooses a square that is as close as possible to the specified square for the game element to be placed instead.

It depends. If the effect is activated by an action or an optional trigger then the character cannot be placed. Otherwise your opponent places the character in the nearest unoccupied square.

2017 rulebook Page 18:

Quote

You may never choose to activate an action or use an optional triggered effect to violate the Rule of Occupancy. In such a scenario, the game element is not placed, either from elsewhere on the map or off the map. For example, a triggered effect says “When a friendly character is KO’d, you may place this character adjacent to the square it last occupied.” If all those adjacent squares were occupied by characters or were blocking terrain, then you would not be able to place this character as the effect was optional (says “you may”). If the effect was non-optional (did not say “you may”) then your opponent places the character into a legal square nearest to the specified square.
