I found these in NPC:
downedMechBossAny = false;
downedMechBoss1 = false;
downedMechBoss2 = false;
downedMechBoss3 = false;
downedBoss1 = false;
downedBoss2 = false;
downedBoss3 = false;
downedQueenBee = false;
downedSlimeKing = false;
downedGoblins = false;
downedFrost = false;
downedPirates = false;
downedClown = false;
downedPlantBoss = false;
downedGolemBoss = false;
downedMartians = false;
downedFishron = false;
downedHalloweenTree = false;
downedHalloweenKing = false;
downedChristmasIceQueen = false;
downedChristmasTree = false;
downedChristmasSantank = false;
downedAncientCultist = false;
downedMoonlord = false;
downedTowerSolar = false;
downedTowerVortex = false;
downedTowerNebula = false;
downedTowerStardust = false;
So, if (NPC.downedPlantBoss) { stuff }

Much appreciated. If the explanation's not too complex, would you mind telling me how you found these so I can be more self-sufficient in the future?
Edit: Found out I can use my MVS to check this kind of thing, though I'm not sure I can see everything. I'm unable to find a WoF flag, nor a hardmode flag, in NPC, WorldGen, or Player. Is there one to be found?

Oh, you figured it out. For the benefit of others, start typing and Visual Studio will tell you:
You should be able to see all public fields, properties, and methods.
For Wall of Flesh, it is just Main.hardMode.

When autoload tries to load textures, it errors claiming that the texture doesn't exist, when it does. What's happening?

Double check the namespace of your class and the class name. Also check the names of both the .CS and .png file.
When the program claims it can't find a texture, it really can't find it at the given place. Always double check the things I mentioned above when you get an error like that.

I've double, triple, quadruple and quintuple checked it and i'm still getting the error. It's doing this for everything I try to mod in.

Could you show me ALL the code of your item and tell me the exact path to the .cs file containing that code, starting from the Mod Sources folder?

Allright, this is where you're going wrong, I've seen this before
Look at your path:
Code:

Yeah, I realized this immediately after posting. I meant to edit the original post but my internet wasn't working right. Thanks for helping.Allright, this is where you're going wrong, I've seen this before
Look at your path:
Notice that is has to loop through 'Mod Sources/TestMod' two times? You don't want that. Take the second 'TestMod' folder and dump it right into the first 'Mod Sources' folder.Code:Mod Sources\TestMod\Mod Sources\TestMod\Dusts\HeroDust.cs

So my problem is still here how do i get back to regular terraria, I would like to play N terraria but i first need to remove tmodloader so how do I do that.

Been tinkering around with projectiles spawning other projectiles, new to messing with AI() in tModloader. Some 20 minutes of debug has me thinking that I have some incorrect assumptions on how it works. Code here:
This is the code within the spawner projectile that's meant to spawn an IceShard projectile once every 10 frames, but it isn't spawning anything. Is there something I've messed up here, or does the problem lie elsewhere?
Code:
public override void AI()
{
timer++;
if(timer >= 10)
{
timer = 0;
{
//conversion to polar from cartesian for velocity
double x = projectile.Center.X - Main.MouseWorld.X;
double y = projectile.Center.Y - Main.MouseWorld.Y;
//double r = Math.Sqrt((x * x) + (y * y));
double q = Math.Atan2(x, y);
//x = r; r not needed since we always want r=1 so each has the same speed
y = q;
float XVel = (float)(1 * Math.Cos(q));
float YVel = (float)(1 * Math.Sin(q));
//position randomizer weighted towards central values
float posX = projectile.Center.X;
float posY = projectile.Center.Y;
posX = Main.rand.Next(-50, 50) + Main.rand.Next(-30, 30);
posY = Main.rand.Next(-50, 50) + Main.rand.Next(-30, 30);
int p = Projectile.NewProjectile(posX, posY, XVel, YVel, mod.ProjectileType("IceShard"), projectile.damage, projectile.knockBack, projectile.owner);
}
}This is the code within the spawner projectile that's meant to spawn an IceShard projectile once every 10 frames, but it isn't spawning anything. Is there something I've messed up here, or does the problem lie elsewhere?

I'm sort of surprised this actually got loaded. Is "timer" a global variable in your projectile? You should probably increment using projectile.ai[0] instead, just because that's the usual convention the projectiles in vanilla uses. I'm sort of wondering about the "timer = 0" and then the brackets. I think you should remove the brackets. Also, you should add to the values of posX and posY, not make it equals because you're overriding the projectile.Centers with coordinates located at the center of the map.So all in all, it should probably look like this, I'm too lazy to do proper spacing.
Code:
public override void AI()
{
projectile.ai[0] += 1f;
if(projectile.ai[0] >= 10f)
{
projectile.ai[0] = 0;
//conversion to polar from cartesian for velocity
double x = projectile.Center.X - Main.MouseWorld.X;
double y = projectile.Center.Y - Main.MouseWorld.Y;
//double r = Math.Sqrt((x * x) + (y * y));
double q = Math.Atan2(x, y);
//x = r; r not needed since we always want r=1 so each has the same speed
y = q;
float XVel = (float)(1 * Math.Cos(q));
float YVel = (float)(1 * Math.Sin(q));
//position randomizer weighted towards central values
float posX = projectile.Center.X;
float posY = projectile.Center.Y;
//Probably stick with just one rand on each
posX += (Main.rand.Next(-50, 50) + Main.rand.Next(-30, 30));
posY += (Main.rand.Next(-50, 50) + Main.rand.Next(-30, 30));
int p = Projectile.NewProjectile(posX, posY, XVel, YVel, mod.ProjectileType("IceShard"), projectile.damage, projectile.knockBack, projectile.owner, 0f, 0f);

Yeah, I defined timer within the projectile since I didn't(don't) know how projectile.ai[] works. I'm pretty sure the issue here was posX and posY being very not where I intended, but it doesn't hurt to use a predefined variable for increments rather than an extraneous one. The double rand calculation is to weight towards 0. Thanks for the help.
Restore FNA.dll, MP3Sharp.dll, Terraria.exe to their origional files. (you should've made a backup)
If you haven't, you can remove those files by deleting them, and then having Steam verify the integrity of the game cache. (this will redownload the origional files)
You should then have vanilla Terraria again.
You'll want to set projectile.penetrate to -1, not maxPenetrate.

I'm not why my code is working with just that change, but it is. Now on to the more difficult problem: I'm trying to have this projectile inflict damage over time based on the number of projectiles that are currently affecting the enemy. Here are the relevant bits of code:
Code:
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
namespace TalismanMagic.NPCs
{
public class NPCInf : NPCInfo
{
public List<int> lightSpears = new List<int>();
}
}
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
namespace TalismanMagic.NPCs
{
class gNPC : GlobalNPC
{
public override void ResetEffects(NPC npc)
{
NPCInf info = (NPCInf)npc.GetModInfo(mod, "NPCInf");
info.lightSpears.Clear();
}
public override void UpdateLifeRegen(NPC npc, ref int damage)
{
NPCInf info = (NPCInf)npc.GetModInfo(mod, "NPCInf");
if (info.lightSpears.Count > 0)
{
npc.lifeRegen -= (int)(64 * info.lightSpears.Count * Math.Pow(1.05, info.lightSpears.Count));
damage += (int)(64 * info.lightSpears.Count * Math.Pow(1.05, info.lightSpears.Count) / 8);
}
for(int i=0; i < info.lightSpears.Count; i++)
{
info.lightSpears[i]--;
if(info.lightSpears[i] <= 0)
{
info.lightSpears.RemoveAt(i);
}
}
}
}
}
Code:
public override void OnHitNPC(NPC target, int damage, float knockback, bool crit)
{
base.OnHitNPC(target, damage, knockback, crit);
projectile.friendly = false;
stuckTarget = target;
stuckPosX = projectile.position.X - target.Center.X;
stuckPosY = -projectile.position.Y + target.Center.Y;
projectile.timeLeft = 180;
projectile.extraUpdates = 0;
((NPCInf)target.GetModInfo(mod, "NPCInf")).lightSpears.Add(180);
}Last bit of code is just a portion of the projectile class.
Basically, when the projectile hits an enemy, it adds a value to an int list. The GlobalNPC code is meant to use that list to add a damage over time effect, but currently I'm not seeing any DoT on enemies that should be effected. Any obvious mistakes? Do I need to provide more information?
