Placeatme problem

[senterpat]

I'm running a script that places a bear trap at me when I equip the item with its script, it works fine except that the bear trap spawns relevant to the players point of view, so it's tilted and uneven, is there a command to do this or would I have to make a droppable bear trap and add in the physics data?

 

edit: Or can I use object.setpos to spawn it right, I just came across this function and can't try it out right now.

 

Also if theres a way that I can reference the bear trap, I think I can fix it but I don't know how to reference items placed by placeatme.

 

also heres the script im using:

 

scn PPBearTrapScript

begin onequip

 

if player.hasperk myperk && player.isincombat == 0

set myitem to player.placeatme sprungtrapbeartrap

player.unequipitem PPTrBearTrap

player.removeitem PPTrBearTrap 1

else

player.unequipitem PPTrBearTrap

endif

end

try

myitem.SetAngle X 0

 

after the placeatme

Oooo how did I not see set angle. I was trying for about an hour or so to use setpos. Thank you very much sir.

 

Edit: It seems that didn't work :( not instantly anyways, but I'm gonna play around with it and see if i can get it to work.

 

Edit2: Well I couldn't get it to work at all, but I did manage to get it to setangle once i activate it. I'll keep trying though to see if i can get it to place straight without having to activate it.
