Check the example mod, ExampleGlobalNPC in the NPCs folder, the SetupShop method near the bottom of the file.

@W1K yeah, I got it a bit ago. I'm trying to figure out how to make NPC's now (Town and enemy).

@W1K do you know how to make an accessory that triggers an effect on player hit or on enemy hit? Do you have any sample code?

I've never made a town NPC myself, but I assume the method should work roughly the same way. Otherwise I'm sure there's a town NPC example in the example mod too.

For the accessory, I'm not sure whether tModLoader has any easier way, but the way I do it is a bit tricky for newbs and it involves a global player code checking whether any player is equipping X item when specific methods are called (for example, I have an armor that deals damage in an area every time the Hurt method in global player is called, but only runs the code if they have the full armor set equipped).

@W1K do you have example of that code? It goes in the .cs of the actual mod, right?

No, it would go in a different .cs file in the mod's root folder (the same folder where the mod's main .cs file is). This code is untested but roughly what it should look like for a global code that checks whether an accessory is equipped and run an effect on the event of the player getting damaged.

If you want to make it so an effect is added on damage dealt, you'd do the same but on a different method, such as OnHitNPC ( http://blushiemagic.github.io/tModLoader/html/class_terraria_1_1_mod_loader_1_1_mod_player.html#a2cd21e98bc50351cea57cf644a2859f6 )

I tried an OnHitPlayer hook but it told me something about nothing to override.
