I haven't figured out how to make explosions on impact yet.

Do you happen to have the projectile code so I can help you with it?

okay so this is the code:
so when this dies or lands, it leaves a dark particle then i need to pass through it to make it explode
[doublepost=1494601283,1494601209][/doublepost]Also, this error poped up when I add the code you gave me

Sorry, it should be "Next", not "next".
The reason your projectile isn't working because it is built into the AI style, meaning that it will ONLY explode when it intercepts a player. You would have to code this projectile yourself.

oh ok. Thanks
[doublepost=1494602228,1494602129][/doublepost]Ok now it says The name "type" does not exist in the current context.

That's still just your item file, I need to see your projectile file.
Are you using tAPI or tModLoader?
For tAPI, I don't think there is.
For tModLoader, you can use
Code:
mod.GetLegacySoundSlot(SoundType.Item, "Sounds/Directory/To/Sound");
RailgunZx
Terrarian
Where do I put that code? If I paste it into my projectile code I just get errors. This is what my projectile code looks like:
Code:
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.ID;
namespace hyperfrostw.Projectiles
{
public class swordbeam : ModProjectile
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
projectile.CloneDefaults(ProjectileID.TerraBeam);
projectile.name = "Sword Beam";
aiType = ProjectileID.TerraBeam;
}
public override bool Autoload(ref string name, ref string texture)
{
texture = "Terraria/Projectile_" + ProjectileID.TerraBeam;
return true;
}
}
}I can add that line of code you gave me to my sword class as item.UseSound and it work just fine, but I don't want to change the sound of the sword swing. I want to change the sound of the projectile it shoots.
Thanks

Since you are using a default AI style, you unfortunately, can't change the sound since the sound is built into the style. So in order to do the thingy, you have to make your own AI as with most of the projectile related problems are when using vanilla AIs.

Hmm. Projectiles that travel in a straight line such as the TerraBeam don't require an AI style, right?

Okay so this is the blue feather file:
and then this is the golden feather file:
Code:
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
namespace YourModName.Projectiles
{
public class SkysBlessing : ModProjectile
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
projectile.CloneDefaults(ProjectileID.Blizzard);
projectile.name = "Death Sickle";
projectile.friendly = true;
projectile.hostile = false;
aiType = ProjectileID.Blizzard;
}
//After the projectile is dead
public override void Kill(int timeLeft)
{
Projectile.NewProjectile(projectile.position.X, projectile.position.Y, 0, 0, ProjectileID.MonkStaffT3_AltShot, (int)(projectile.damage * 1.5), projectile.knockBack, Main.myPlayer); // This spawns a projectile after this projectile is dead
}
}
}and then this is the golden feather file:
Code:
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
namespace YourModName.Projectiles
{
public class SkysBlessing2 : ModProjectile
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
projectile.CloneDefaults(ProjectileID.FrostWave);
projectile.name = "Death Sickle";
projectile.friendly = true;
projectile.hostile = false;
projectile.damage = 20;
aiType = ProjectileID.FrostWave;
}
}

Also another question, i saw your tutorial for how to make an explosion but it gave me this error:

Oh, so what should be the right one when I want to make an explosion?
[doublepost=1494662952,1494662664][/doublepost]wait nevermind I did it!
[doublepost=1494663131][/doublepost]Okay so it worked! but what should be the right sprite image? Because mine just turns to a box when it lands (Because that is my sprite).

How do I make a modded projectile pass through tiles, but becomes solid when it reaches the cursor? I'm using tModLoader, btw.
