Hey all,
I am currently working on trying to create an irrigation system for TS4, based on the water emitters, that will automatically water your plants like a sprinkler would and has the subsequent animation.
Because I am trying to include several types of system (ground irrigation, tap irrigation and drip irrigation) I am trying to look into rotating an object's effect slot (_FX_ bone) so that instead of water coming up from a floor-based emitter (like the current water emitters in-game), the water will be falling down from a hanging emitter.
Now I found the rotation values of the effect slot under the slot xml file (see image 1). However, when I tried a different rotation for that slot, the in-game water effect did not change. Now I am not quite sure if it is also needed to change the rig for that slot and what the xml "code" requirements would be for rotating that slot. If necessary, I assume that this should be input under "orientation" (see image 2), but I am not quite sure with what to replace "identity" if I wanted to inverse its orientation.
Is this even possible? Alternatively I could try to edit the effect itself but, so far, I have not been able to find its file or the reference to the file in the object definition.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
