Noob SWEP Construction Kit Question

[eishen]

Noob question, I feel stupid asking this. I've tried looking through SWEP Construction Kit tutorials for this, but I can't seem to find the issue. I'm trying to make a custom weapon in Garry's Mod, and the placement in the model is off and needs to be flipped.

My test model after inserting the weapon code (Lua) into the weapon script:[/B]

Here's the weapon lua code that needs to be inserted, but doesn't quite work when it is

SWEP.HoldType = "crossbow"

SWEP.ViewModelFOV = 70

SWEP.ViewModelFlip = false

SWEP.ViewModel = "models/matt/phaserrifleexporttest.mdl"

SWEP.WorldModel = "models/weapons/w_crossbow.mdl"

SWEP.ShowViewModel = true

SWEP.ShowWorldModel = true

SWEP.ViewModelBoneMods = {
	["Box041"] = { scale = Vector(1, 1, 1), pos = Vector(-13.969, -18.095, -10.476), angle = Angle(0, -1.905, -91.43) }
}

The trouble is, where do I insert this code to make the model orient correctly? Before, after, or in the base code?

Here's a snippet of the base and orientation code as of now:

Bumpity.

SWEP Kit goes at the bottom, define the SWEP variables like WElements etc. in a client side if statement. The weapon/ironsights code, if used, can go in the general SWEP. Also, use [t] tags for images, then they don't get too big.

Thank you, I'll be sure to use the tag feature for images when I post from now on.

Now then, I still can't get the View Model to orient correctly. Here's a snippet of my code:

SWEP.Spawnable = true
SWEP.AdminOnly = false

SWEP.PrintName			= "Type 3 Phaser"			
SWEP.Author			= "Eishen"
SWEP.Instructions		= "Star Trek"

if CLIENT then

	SWEP.HoldType = "crossbow"
	SWEP.ViewModelFOV = 70

	SWEP.ViewsModelFlip = false

	SWEP.Weight			= 5
	SWEP.AutoSwitchTo		= false
	SWEP.AutoSwitchFrom		= false
	SWEP.Slot			= 3
	SWEP.SlotPos			= 2
	SWEP.DrawAmmo			= false
	SWEP.DrawCrosshair		= true
	SWEP.ViewModelBoneMods = {["Box041"] = { scale = Vector(1, 1, 1), pos = Vector(-13.969, -18.095, -10.476), angle = Angle(0, -1.905, -91.43) }
}

end

SWEP.ViewModel = "models/matt/phaserrifleexporttest.mdl"

SWEP.WorldModel = "models/weapons/w_crossbow.mdl"

SWEP.ShowViewModel = true

SWEP.ShowWorldModel = true


SWEP.Primary.ClipSize		= -1
SWEP.Primary.DefaultClip	= -1
SWEP.Primary.Automatic		= false
SWEP.Primary.Ammo		= "none"

SWEP.Secondary.ClipSize		= -1
SWEP.Secondary.DefaultClip	= -1
SWEP.Secondary.Automatic	= false
SWEP.Secondary.Ammo		= "none"

The rest of the code is my firing functions, and then the base code from SWEP Construction Kit goes at the end. Help?
