ExampleMod have all example ^^'. I have use ExampleMod, and my town NPC is 100% functionnal.

For the ennemy, go look examplemod, it have many example after, you need just check if this is a world on hardmode or not.

You have forgot check others files... for spawn a town NPC, you need also go to ExampleWorld. Yes, you do not search good ^^.

Hi @bluemagic123, I think I've found a bug, but I'm not sure. I was using the globalNPC hook CanBeHitByProjectile, and found that it wasn't being called in the way I'd expect. It sounds like it should only be called when a projectile hits a NPC, but when I used it, it was being called every frame. I just thought I'd see what's up with that. Thanks.

Edit: Also, is there a way to add a custom field to each vanilla NPC? I tried putting one in globalNPC, but there's only one instance of that for all NPCs.

It looks like the CanHit checks occur before the collision checks for projectiles against NPCs.

could someone help me?? for some reason my NPC wont spawn and when i spawned him in using the HERO mod and gave him a home, he despawned after relogging.

and another question: how can i make him use a special weapon and make him drop it when he dies??

The internal name and npc.name need to be the same.

I can't even start the game, I did put my terraria inside the vanilla file and used the patcher to generate the modded version.
But after I put the modded version inside the terraria folder, I can't run it. When I run it, it said there is something wrong with the terraria.
I need help QAAQ

Reinstall Terraria, then you have just to put all modded file of the compressed modloader file in your folder Terraria, then you launch.

Try with removing code one per one. This method is very good for found bug. Yes, you need test after each time, but this is the only means for fix a "invisible" bug. And use a vanilla aistyle is for me a bad idea for a boss npc, i prefer rewrite(and paste) code ^^.
