That's a variable already present in the ModTile class which can be set in the SetDefaults function of your ModTile.

 

[Endershot355]

does the public int still go into the set defaults aswell?

No...
That's only for variable declaration, which (like mentioned before) is already done.

Alright thanks so much!
[DOUBLEPOST=1457522760,1457522225][/DOUBLEPOST]Is there a way to make a new "class', so it doesnt say throwing damage or whatever but "custom name" damage?

For what endershot is asking is this it here
public virtual bool CanKillTile(int i, int j, ref bool blockDamaged)
and how can i use this to set a pickaxe power.

I already figured it out :/
I just set a pickaxe requirement and made a pickaxe with that power

 

[Iroh The Dragon]

Could you show me ?

 

[Endershot355]

(on pickaxe)
item.pick = 310;
(On tile)
minPick = 300;

 

[Iroh The Dragon]

so
item.pick = 310 (Power ?)
and MinPick (power is 300?)

 

[Endershot355]

Item pick is the pickaxes power

MinPick is the minium pickaxe power required to mine

Okay cool as

The pickaxe works and everything just i cant move left if im mining right, so how would i make it so i can move both ways and mine. With being stuck on one way each time.

And how would i go about animating furnaces. I have the sprite file set up for it.

Hello everyone. I have a question. Is this good for newbie modders? I really wanted to make small mod, not big as Necro or Avalon mods. Problem is that Im completely new to modding. I can't even draw sprites properly but Im training. Is this program for launching mods only or also creating? By creating I mean that I can write items properties
not using such thing as Json etc. but using this program? Thanks for help. Im still gonna read documentation.

Idea:
tModMaker
This would be just a compiler for tModLoader Mods, for people who don't have Terraria, but want to make mods for it. It doesn't have the Terraria source code, so it would not check code, so is solely a .tmod compiler.

Could you show the animation file (even if in a private conversation)? Then I can give you an example.

It might be, not really sure.
This program (or API) is solely for adding (selfmade) mods to the game. It's not as if you're going to create mods inside this program.
If you want to start creating a mod, I'd recommend learning C# (since that's the programming language required to make mods with this API), look at the help threads in the OP and have a look through the ExampleMod. If you want one-on-one explanation, you can always ask questions here or start a private conversation.

I'm trying to make a projectile half transparent. I fiddled around with the alpha value and with preDraw(), but I couldn't get it to work. Can anyone help me?
EDIT:nvrmind fixed it

How do I make it so when you have a certain accessory certain mobs spawn

like

checking for the accessory
then allowing the spawn params


I cant think straight


I just drank a whole monster in 5 seconds

You can make a property in your modPlayer that changes value when the accessory is equipped, and check that property in CanSpawn()

example? I never used modplayer before
