Well, I'm looking forward to, then.
I see. I would be totally fine with a simple PreDrawInterface hook, like both tAPI and tConfig did (difference being tConfig had it part of ModWorld). That aside, I can't wait for the good old ModPlayer hook to be back too, I literally like to feed off of global player hooks.
I had to deal with the same issue. While we will have proper support for easy sprite offsetting, this is my temporary workaround.Yes, it works like a charm.
And next thing I wanna ask is about the texture.
Only when I made myself a sniper rifle, did I discover this matter about the texture. Since the sniper rifle can be super long compare to other melee weapons, it looks quite odd when shoots, especially the stock. So I looked into the vanilla sniper rifle carefully, its stock actually sinks into player's body... Well, kinda like the one I set in NPC: public override void DrawTownAttackGun(ref float scale, ref int item, ref int closeness).
This closeness, it defines these stuff. I guess there may also be a closeness definition of mod items, using public virtual void UseStyle(Player player).
But I don't know how to call it.
public int dir = 1;
public override bool Shoot(Player player, ref Vector2 position, ref float speedX, ref float speedY, ref int type, ref int damage, ref float knockBack)
{
dir = Main.mouseX+Main.screenPosition.X > player.Center.X ? 1 : -1;
return true;
}
public override void UseStyle(Player player)
{
int distance = -20;
player.itemLocation.X += (float)(Math.Cos(player.itemRotation) * distance) * dir;
player.itemLocation.Y += (float)(Math.Sin(player.itemRotation) * distance) * dir;
}They affect the hitbox's size and potentially drawing. If you rotate a sprite with an improperly sized hitbox, you'll notice the sprite is not perfectly centered. For actual sprite size, you want to use item.scale, 1f being the default value.
It's probably to make the weapon's hitbox a slight bit smaller than the actual sprite. Transparency can easily make the hitbox seem bigger if the actual texture's size is used. This most commonly happens with weapons which don't fill up the entire texture size or undersized swords which are either really tight or lack a pointy end. That said, you usually want a size that gets as close as possible to the actual texture size. Having the proper size can be really important for spinning projectiles however as even the slightest pixel off can mess up the centering. Weapons should be otherwise fine with even quite a bit of pixels off, hitbox issues aside.
Well, it's getting too complicated for me. Maybe I'll look into this afterwards.
Yes, there is a limit of 16f. You can break it by setting the projectile's extraUpdates field to a number greater than 0 (this makes it update multiple times in a single tick). If you want a weapon to shoot faster on any kind of projectile, then you can override the Shoot hook, manually create the projectile yourself, increment the projectile's extraUpdates field from there, then return false.
This is exactly another question I want to ask, about this "projectile.extraUpdates". What's the function of this definition?
For example, the Shadowbeam staff projectile has 100 extra updates. By default, projectiles will run the AI code and collision detection once per frame. (1 + extraUpdates, which defaults to 0) If a projectile is going faster than the width of a block (16), it will pass through blocks on occasion. The shadow beam projectile will do 101 updates each frame, this is why the projectile can bounce off a bunch of walls the instant you fire it.
Yeah, yeah, I should have known my expression going ambiguously again, sorry about that.
Projectile.NewProjectile(float, float, float, float, int, int, float, int, float, float)
no, its a perfectly awesome and op mod maker.Is this a virus? Webroot says it's a virus.
No it isn'tIs this a virus? Webroot says it's a virus.
I can safely say this, since I've been using it since its first release.
for testing, i downloaded the linux version to see if i could help someone who was having issues. it said something along the lines of 'malware detected, download cancelled'. are you sure that you are downloading for the right platform?
Eldrazi helped with the code
public override bool PreAI()
{
projectile.rotation += (Math.Abs(projectile.velocity.X) + Math.Abs(projectile.velocity.Y)) * 0.03f * (float)projectile.direction;
projectile.localAI[1] += 1f;
if (projectile.localAI[1] >= 20f) // Change this '20' value if you want the knife to fly longer before dropping
{
projectile.velocity.Y = projectile.velocity.Y + 0.4f;
projectile.velocity.X = projectile.velocity.X * 0.98f;
}
else
{
projectile.rotation = (float)Math.Atan2((double)projectile.velocity.Y, (double)projectile.velocity.X) + 1.57f;
}
if (projectile.velocity.Y > 16f)
{
projectile.velocity.Y = 16f;
}
return false;
}You mean the code right?
