[XCiD]

using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;

}
}

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
}
}

Yes I know bool I just dont know how to use it in the sit im talking about

 

[XCiD]

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)

 

[Endershot355]

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

Does that mean it wont spawn?

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?

 

[Endershot355]

thats nice thanks so much very very much

Totally knew that
In the Update() method of ModItem:
((Player)player.GetModPlayer(mod, "Player")).accessoryOn = true;
EDIT: also, in the PreUpdate() method of ModPlayer:
((Player)player.GetModPlayer(mod, "Player")).accessoryOn = false;
what this does is make it so that when the accessory is taken off the NPC wont spawn anymore
[DOUBLEPOST=1457564818][/DOUBLEPOST]

and no, you would put the "return 0f;" outside of the if statement, like in an else statement.
this makes it so that the NPC wont spawn if you dont have the accessory on

Can you make a quick example thing for me so I can easily copy paste it when I get back from dinner?

^ That's the correct method signature.

What exactly do you mean? 'Still control the spawns'?

 

[Endershot355]

What exactly do you mean? 'Still control the spawns'?

If I use the AI of a zombie, it will despawn during the Day, but I want it to spawn during the day. I also wouldn't mind editing the AI to summon projectiles and stuff
