Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

SkazzY said:
I have a quick question, will it be fine if i have tModLoader installed and opened and join the normal server that was hosted with normal terraria. By "will it be fine" i mean will it be consider cheating/will it change the gameplay on the server ?

It won't work on purpose.
 
Need help with making ore spawn once i destroy an alter,
So basically i was told to do this or something like this

get a GlobalTile, then call the KillMultiTile Hook
then check
if (tile.type = TileID.Altar)
or something, then activate something like a bool in the ModWorld
then generate the ore if that Bool is true

I undersand whats being said but have no idea how to go about it.
 
According to the date that Bluemagic123 posted this thread, it has been a full year since its release! Hooray! (Please tell me if this is true)
 
does anyone know how i can add a dust to a player/npc under a buff/debuff??

i would like to make a buff called "PhasedFlames" draining 8 hp per sec and displaying a light blue particle

thx for the replies
 
In the buff:
Code: 
        public override void Update(Player player, ref int buffIndex)
        {
        ...
        ...
        //Example:
if (Main.rand.Next(10) == 0)
{
int idx= Dust.NewDust(player.position, player.width, player.height, DustID.Electric);
Main.dust[idx].noGravity = true;
}
        }
Normally, no problem, this is functionnal.
You apply same thing with the method:
public override void Update(NPC npc, ref int buffIndex)
 
thanks for your help m8!
i have another question, how do i display a sprite above a buffed/debuffed npc/player??

(also i will add Helper Items to my mod, as thx for everyone who helps ;D)
 
npc.lifeRegen and player.lifeRegen .

You can put lifeRegen-=8 or lifeRegen=-8 , second for example is the poison, etc where you cannot regen, the first, if you have more than 8hp per seconde, you have now 0 hp per second. Always people use second, i think.


For display a sprite above a player, this is more complex and i have not time explain now (i need go sleep, ah ah).
 
where exactly do i put it??

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using SacredTools.NPCs;

namespace SacredTools.Buffs
{
public class PhaseFlames : ModBuff
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
Main.buffName[Type] = "Phasing Flames";
Main.buffTip[Type] = "Losing life";
Main.debuff[Type] = true;
Main.pvpBuff[Type] = true;
Main.buffNoSave[Type] = true;
longerExpertDebuff = true;
//here???
}

public override void Update(Player player, ref int buffIndex)
{


//Example:
if (Main.rand.Next(1) == 0)
{
int idx= Dust.NewDust(player.position, player.width, player.height, mod.DustType("PandolarDust"));
Main.dust[idx].noGravity = true;
//or here??
}
}

public override void Update(NPC npc, ref int buffIndex)
{
//Example:
if (Main.rand.Next(1) == 0)
{
int idx= Dust.NewDust(npc.position, npc.width, npc.height, mod.DustType("PandolarDust"));
Main.dust[idx].noGravity = true;
}
}
}
}
 
npc.lifeRegen=-8; on Update for npc and same thing for player x) , but not in the if(rand)

and oh, Main.rand.Next(1) == 0 is a classic error for a beginner.


In all code, when you put a max value, this is the limit. Because always begin to 0. So your if(Main.rand.Next(1)==0) is just a if(TRUE) so go that. You need put 2, not 1
 
public override void Update(NPC npc, ref int buffIndex)
{
//Example:
if (Main.rand.Next(1) == 0)
{
int idx= Dust.NewDust(npc.position, npc.width, npc.height, mod.DustType("PandolarDust"));
Main.dust[idx].noGravity = true;
}
npc.lifeRegen=-8;
}

like this??
