[HELP] No Interaction W/ Items & Weapons

[Chessmaster 0]

Hello!

I'm quite new to this and I was wondering how I could make items & weapons without interaction? I was browsing the forum and I did come across this code:

lwh = "Library_WeaponHolder" createVehicle position this;
lwh addWeaponCargoGlobal ["arifle_katiba_f", 1];
lwh enableSimulation false;
lwh setPos (this modelToWorld [0, 0, 0.5]);
lwh setdamage 1;
lwh setvectorup [0,-1,0.01];
deleteVehicle this;

After tinkering around with it, I have had trouble with the rotation. I would like to place items & weapons as if they're on show. Any ideas? Please make this as noob friendly as possible!

Thanks!

The setvectorup command is a bit hard to understand (at least for me). I prefer to use BIS_fnc_setPitchBank to rotate an object. So instead of your code I'd use:

lwh = "Library_WeaponHolder" createVehicle position this;
lwh addWeaponCargoGlobal ["arifle_katiba_f", 1];
lwh enableSimulation false;
lwh setPos (this modelToWorld [0, 0, 0.5]);
lwh setdamage 1;
[lwh, 45, -45] call BIS_fnc_setPitchBank;
deleteVehicle this;

and change 45 and -45 to your needs.

Instead of spawning a weaponholder and adding a gun to it, then disabling the interaction, use the static props for weapons available in the editor

_gun = createVehicle  ["Weapon_arifle_Katiba_F",position player,[],0,"can_collide"];
// positioning stuff here

This helps somewhat but I am after rotation of an item say if it was placed on a table for display purposes. Is there a code for that?

if you want to RETURN the rotation then you can use either BIS_fnc_getPitchBank or vectorDir and vectorUp.

So 

[lwh, 45, -45] call BIS_fnc_getPitchBank;?

Use the command that @das attorney recommended:

Okay, just copied the code to the init and it returned with the error "Local variable in global space" I removed the "// Positioning..."

Does the gun already exist (placed in editor)? If so then you'll have to use this instead of _gun. And only put this in the init:

[this, -45, 45] call BIS_fnc_setPitchBank;

Ngl, none of this is working for me :( I have no idea how to position the item properly on the table without it being interactive. Here is an image to see where I am coming from:
 

When testing, with the code, all items turn a different direction.

 

Edit: Cracked it! Thanks guys!
