Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

[Dacern]

I'm pretty new to modding, I have done it for only a couple of days, and I need help. For some reason, some of my enemies despawn instantly when coming into contact with about 75% of my modded weapons. Can you figure out why, and help me? I'll attach code of one of the enemies. (I know that this enemy will not spawn by the way.)
public class Legs : ModNPC
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
DisplayName.SetDefault("Legs");
Main.npcFrameCount[npc.type] = Main.npcFrameCount[NPCID.Harpy];
}


public override void SetDefaults()
{
npc.width = 32;
npc.height = 32;
npc.lifeMax = 1000;
npc.damage = 25;
npc.defense = 0;
npc.HitSound = SoundID.NPCHit17;
npc.DeathSound = SoundID.NPCDeath15;
npc.value = 7500f;
npc.knockBackResist = 1f;
npc.aiStyle = 26;
aiType = NPCID.Unicorn;
animationType = NPCID.Zombie;
}

public override void HitEffect(int hitDirection, double damage)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
int dustType = 5;
int dustIndex = Dust.NewDust(npc.position, npc.width, npc.height, dustType);
Dust dust = Main.dust[dustIndex];
dust.velocity.X = dust.velocity.X + Main.rand.Next(-50, 51) * 0.01f;
dust.velocity.Y = dust.velocity.Y + Main.rand.Next(-50, 51) * 0.01f;
dust.scale *= 1f + Main.rand.Next(-30, 31) * 0.01f;
}
}

I don't see something wrong with this NPC other than it have no defense at all.
There may be a chance the error is caused by the 75% of your weapons, so you may want to attach your weapon code too.

Hello, I am creating a modded adventure map for quite a while. Does anyone have any knowledge of how to make statues, which spawn modded enemies?
I've seen statues like that in Thorium or Split mods, but the devs aren't really answering

p.s. statues for vanilla enemies works

soooooooooooooooooo how is going the update for 1.4?

Here's one of the weapons that always instantly kills enemies.

item.rare = 8;
item.UseSound = SoundID.Item88;

item.shootSpeed = 15f;
item.shoot = 85;

}

public override bool Shoot(Player player, ref Vector2 position, ref float speedX, ref float speedY, ref int type, ref int damage, ref float knockBack)
{
float numberProjectiles = 20;
float rotation = MathHelper.ToRadians(180);
position += Vector2.Normalize(new Vector2(speedX, speedY)) * 180f;
for (int i = 0; i < numberProjectiles; i++)
{
Vector2 perturbedSpeed = new Vector2(speedX, speedY).RotatedBy(MathHelper.Lerp(-rotation, rotation, i / (numberProjectiles - 1))) * .2f; // Watch out for dividing by 0 if there is only 1 projectile.
Projectile.NewProjectile(position.X, position.Y, perturbedSpeed.X, perturbedSpeed.Y, type, damage, knockBack, player.whoAmI);
}
return false;


}
public override void AddRecipes()
{
ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddIngredient(ModContent.ItemType<Upgrade>(), 1);

Nothing wrong with that either... The extremely high damage of the weapon and the absolute zero defense of the NPC might've caused it to die immediately. Another thing that could've happened was that your sound was off and the NPC did not have gore.

How do I get my tile to only be placed on walls? I've tried this:

public override void SetDefaults()
{
    Main.tileFrameImportant[Type] = true;
    Main.tileNoAttach[Type] = true;
    Main.tileLavaDeath[Type] = true;
    TileObjectData.newTile.CopyFrom(TileObjectData.Style2x2);
    TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorWall = true;
    TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateHeights = new[] { 16, 16 };
    TileObjectData.addTile(Type);
    disableSmartCursor = true;
}

And it doesn't let me place it at all. Is there also a way to make it face a certain direction based on what wall it was placed on? Thanks.
EDIT: I tried the following, and it worked a bit better but it needs 2 blocks on either side (and the sprite direction doesn't change):

public override void SetDefaults()
{
    Main.tileFrameImportant[Type] = true;
    Main.tileNoAttach[Type] = true;
    Main.tileLavaDeath[Type] = true;
    TileObjectData.newTile.CopyFrom(TileObjectData.Style2x2);
    //TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorWall = true;
    TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorLeft = new AnchorData(AnchorType.SolidTile, TileObjectData.newTile.Width, 0);
    TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorRight = new AnchorData(AnchorType.SolidTile, TileObjectData.newTile.Width, 0);
    TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateHeights = new[] { 16, 16 };
    TileObjectData.addTile(Type);
    disableSmartCursor = true;
}

Are you using the 64-bit version?

I'm using the 32-bit version why?

 

[Buddha]

This needs to get updated ... not for the sake of "Terraria v1.4" but more like converting my buildings and such to 1.3.5.3.
TEdit is not able to process tiled buildings (with even items which are STRICTLY v1.3 based!), the array range is kinda bugging out (as if the application saves v1.4 meta data for no reason on its application footprint) and I am not able to get my fancy buildings over to tModLoader based Maps.

 

[Complexx]

I'm using the 32-bit version why?

The 64-bit version is a more experimental than public mode. It is slower on updates, if you wait long enough, the 64-bit Tmodloader may catch up.

Hey! New to modding, and I'm posting here with the hope that somebody can help me with my code. I want my weapon to give the player a buff when they right click with it. The issue is that once the player right clicks with the sword, item.buffType is assigned to the entire item. From that point forward, both the left and right clicks assign the buff. How do I unassign item.buffType for the left click functionality? or maybe there's a better way to go about this?

Here's the relevant code:

public override bool CanUseItem(Player player){ //right click functionality
            if (player.altFunctionUse == 2){
                item.UseSound = SoundID.Item100;//placeholder
                item.useStyle = ItemUseStyleID.HoldingUp;
                item.useTime = 10;//placeholder
                item.useAnimation = 10;//placeholder
                item.noMelee = true;
                item.buffType = ModContent.BuffType<GhostbladeBuff>();
                item.buffTime = 360;
            }
            else {
                item.UseSound = SoundID.Item1;
                item.useStyle = ItemUseStyleID.SwingThrow;
                item.useTime = 10;
                item.useAnimation = 25;
                item.noMelee = false;
            }
            return base.CanUseItem(player);
        }

To Al0n37 does have an outdated code. Add "Player player," to and public override void HorizontalWingSpeeds(ref float speed, ref float acceleration) and public override void VerticalWingSpeeds(ref float ascentWhenFalling, ref float ascentWhenRising, ref float maxCanAscendMultiplier, ref float maxAscentMultiplier, ref float constantAscend)

There are some extra errors I have noticed:
TileID.anvil is not the ID for an anvil, it should be this instead: TileID.Anvils
In SetDefaults, item.toolTip = ""; and item.name = "LatormWings"; is outdated. Instead, make a new class thingy called SetStaticDefaults
public override void SetStaticDefaults() {
DisplayName.SetDefault("LatormWings");
Tooltip.SetDefault("");
}

Spoiler: It should like like this now

using System.Collections.Generic;

using Terraria;

using Terraria.ID;

using Terraria.ModLoader;



namespace noname.Items

{

    public class LatormWings : ModItem

    {

        public override bool Autoload(ref string name, ref string texture, IList<EquipType> equips)

        {

            equips.Add(EquipType.Wings);

            return true;

        }

        public override void SetStaticDefaults() {

            DisplayName.SetDefault("LatormWings");
            Tooltip.SetDefault("");

        }

        public override void SetDefaults()

        {

            item.width = 22;

            item.height = 20;

            item.value = 10000;

            item.rare = 4;

            item.accessory = true;

        }



        public override void UpdateAccessory(Player player, bool hideVisual)

        {

            player.wingTimeMax = 10;  //wings Height

        }



        public override void VerticalWingSpeeds(Player player, ref float ascentWhenFalling, ref float ascentWhenRising, ref float maxCanAscendMultiplier, ref float maxAscentMultiplier, ref float constantAscend)

        {

            ascentWhenFalling = 0.85f;

            ascentWhenRising = 0.15f;

            maxCanAscendMultiplier = 1f;

            maxAscentMultiplier = 3f;

            constantAscend = 0.135f;

        }



        public override void HorizontalWingSpeeds(Player player, ref float speed, ref float acceleration)

        {

            speed = 9f;

            acceleration *= 2.5f;

        }



        public override void AddRecipes()  //How to craft this item

        {

            ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe (mod);

            recipe.AddIngredient(null, "latorm", 10);

            recipe.AddTile(TileID.Anvils);

            recipe.SetResult(this);

            recipe.AddRecipe();

        }

    }

}

I hope that works!

P.S: There is another modding tutorial video called Modding Master class made by Lynx on youtube, although cancelled for 1.4, it is up to date.

Another thing you can do instead of:

        public virtual bool Autoload(ref string LatormWings, ref string LatormWings_Wings, IList<EquipType> equips) // you can also do static.

        {

            equips.Add(EquipType.Wings);

            return true;

        }

is add this instead:

    [AutoloadEquip(EquipType.Wings)]
    public class LatormWings : ModItem

So that there is an autoload on top of your LatormWings
