Help with Lightning

[Turbanik🌳]

Hello , I would like to ask you something. Now I'm making a mod for Terraria . I want to make a Lightning weapon like in Thorium mod. I'm trying to do it but everytime I fail. I dont know the right code and my lightning kills me. Please can somebody help me to do it right?

Can you post the code being used? Did you make your new projectile friendly?

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace VariousStuffExpansion.Projectiles
{
public class LightningOrb : ModProjectile
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
DisplayName.SetDefault("LightningOrb");
}

public override void SetDefaults()
{
projectile.arrow = false;
projectile.width = 10;
projectile.height = 10;
projectile.aiStyle = 465;
projectile.penetrate = 10;
projectile.CloneDefaults(465);
projectile.friendly = true;
projectile.timeLeft = 250;
aiType = (465);

}

// Additional hooks/methods here.
}
}








It spawns an orb that is shooting me with cultist Lightning , but I want it to shoot from my staff.






its wrong
