Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

[Eldrazi]

Yeah so the item will be 4x4 in style.

This is the code so far,

using System;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.ObjectData;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;

namespace DarkArmorReforged.Tiles
{
    public class LongTable : ModTile
    {
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            Main.tileSolidTop[Type] = false;
            Main.tileFrameImportant[Type] = true;
            Main.tileNoAttach[Type] = true;
            Main.tileLavaDeath[Type] = true;
            TileObjectData.newTile.CopyFrom(TileObjectData.Style3x3); (I put this as 3x3 as it was the max without getting an error)
            TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateHeights = new int[] { 16, 16, 16};
            TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateWidth = 16;
            TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinatePadding = 2;
            TileObjectData.addTile(Type);
            AddMapEntry(new Color(255, 255, 255), "LongTable");
            adjTiles = new int[] { TileID.WorkBenches };
            AddToArray(ref TileID.Sets.RoomNeeds.CountsAsTorch);
        }

        public override void KillMultiTile(int i, int j, int frameX, int frameY)
        {
            Item.NewItem(i * 16, j * 16, 48, 48, mod.ItemType("LongTable"));
        }
    }
}

Allright, so one thing you can do is create your whole own 'placement style'.
Lemme give you an example (with comments, of course):

This code:

TileObjectData.newTile.Width = 4; // Set the width of the tile, 4 in this case.
TileObjectData.newTile.Height = 4; // Set the height of the tile, 4 in this case.

// Set the origin of this tile. This is used when displaying the tile preview.
// Since all Terraria objects are placed from their botom left perspective, we set the Y parameter of the Point to 3.
TileObjectData.newTile.Origin = new Point16(0, 3); 

// The following will only allow this tile to be placed on a solid surface all along the way of this tile.
TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorBottom = new AnchorData(AnchorType.SolidTile, TileObjectData.newTile.Width, 0);
TileObjectData.newTile.UsesCustomCanPlace = true; // We do use a custom can place.
TileObjectData.newTile.LavaDeath = true; // Optional, guess that speaks for itself.
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateHeights = new int[] { 16, 16, 16, 16 }; // Since our tile is 4 pieces high, we need to define 4 values here.
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateWidth = 16; // The width of each of the tile pieces (default is 16).
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinatePadding = 2; // The padding of each tile piece on the tilesheet.
TileObjectData.addTile(Type);

Basically replaces this code you already have (in the SetDefaults function):

TileObjectData.newTile.CopyFrom(TileObjectData.Style3x3); (I put this as 3x3 as it was the max without getting an error)
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateHeights = new int[] { 16, 16, 16};
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateWidth = 16;
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinatePadding = 2;
TileObjectData.addTile(Type);

No only the part in my post above.
This is what it should be EnderShot

        {
            int ShiniesIndex = tasks.FindIndex(genpass => genpass.Name.Equals("Buried Chests"));

            tasks.Insert(ShiniesIndex + 1, new PassLegacy("Crazy Ore", delegate (GenerationProgress progress){;
            {
                progress.Message = "Growing Enderuim Crystals...";

                for (int k = 0; k < (int)((double)(Main.maxTilesX * Main.maxTilesY) * 6E-05); k++)
                {
                    WorldGen.TileRunner(WorldGen.genRand.Next(0, Main.maxTilesX), WorldGen.genRand.Next((int)WorldGen.worldSurfaceLow, Main.maxTilesY), (double)WorldGen.genRand.Next(3, 6), WorldGen.genRand.Next(2, 6), mod.TileType("EnderuimOre"), false, 0f, 0f, false, true);
                }
            };
        }));
    }
}}

do you atleast know how to make it more common so I can find it quicker?

You can modify the third and fourth parameter of that function to make it more common (higher values).

 

[Endershot355]

6E-05); k++) <- these?

 

[Eldrazi]

6E-05); k++) <- these?

No, not of the for loop, of the TileRunner function.

This is for the custom 4x4
Im getting an error here,
TileObjectData.newTile.Origin = new Point16(0, 3);

Ah, you'll need to include these namespaces:

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.Enums;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.ObjectData;
using Terraria.DataStructures;

0f, 0f, false, true); <---?

The third and fourth, not the last four. Function parameters are split by ','.

can you just show me

can you just show me

It's not really all that hard:

WorldGen.TileRunner(WorldGen.genRand.Next(0, Main.maxTilesX), WorldGen.genRand.Next((int)WorldGen.worldSurfaceLow, Main.maxTilesY), (double)WorldGen.genRand.Next(3, 6), WorldGen.genRand.Next(2, 6), mod.TileType("EnderuimOre"), false, 0f, 0f, false, true);

Im wanting to add a custom projectile to my boss, how would i go about this, im about to create the projectile, from the examplemod. Never done it before. i dont think.

That really depends on the AI you want your projectile to have. It might be a good idea to look at how vanilla AI is handled.

Im going to attempt to create a projectile which can be summonable and used with my custom weapons, then ill move onto looking into that and trying to add it to the boss as a minion.

So you want to create a summonable minion, right?
Still, fleshing out what exactly the projectile is going to do is step one. After that, you'll really need some programming knowledge to piece a good AI together.

I want to change this item.shoot = ProjectileID.DemonScythe; to a mod and projectileID / would be moddedprojectile how do i do this ?

 

[Eldrazi]

If I got your question right, you'll want to do:

item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("YourProjectileClassName");

Do you have an example soul animation picture, because i never can get my correct.

 

[Eldrazi]

Do you have an example soul animation picture, because i never can get my correct.

What do you mea by soul animation? Are you referring to the vanilla items like Soul of Might/Sight/etc?

 

[Iroh The Dragon]

Yes sorry, like those.
