Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

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


I think im having cardiac arrest

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

Code: 
using System;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace Mod
{
     public class Player : ModPlayer
{
     public bool accessoryOn;//this is the property Im talking about
}
}

In an if statement, you would use

((Player)player.GetModPlayer(mod, "Player")).accessoryOn

NOTE: You have to replace "Player" with another name because Player is already an existing class (ex: change "Player" to "myModPlayer" or something)
 
so...
if
{
((Player)player.GetModPlayer(mod, "Player")).accessoryOn
}
then
{
spawning params?
]

how do I get it to spawn thou? I dont want it to spawn instantly, like an item. I just want it to enable spawning of that mob.

Oh I just relized

public override float CanSpawn(NPCSpawnInfo spawnInfo)
{
If
{ ((Player)player.GetModPlayer(mod, "Player")).accessoryOn
}
then
{
return spawnInfo.spawnTileY < Main.rockLayer && !Main.dayTime ? 0.5f : 0f;
}
}

Yeah, just change "Player" to another name. Your code would allow your mob to spawn on the surface during day. Make sure, however, that CanSpawn() returns 0f if the accessoryOn is false

Also, its !Main.Day.Time. The ! means it wont, so it spawns at night ^_^
[DOUBLEPOST=1457561688][/DOUBLEPOST]One last thing, how do I make the bool go to true when I equip it?
