So I am trying to get a "Throwing style melee weapon" to work...
What I want the weapon to do is throw a random amount of projectiles in a similar way to vampire knives.
Here's the projectile CS
And this is the item CS itself
Yet whatever I do, I can't get it to fire the projectiles, it does its animations but never shoots.
I'm sure theres an error in there that my newbie brain can't see, so if an expert can tell me where I screwed up I'd be mighty thankful.
EDIT: Turns out having penetration set to 0 on the projectile was the culprit in this issue, it's been resolved!

Code:

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
namespace TerraCompilation.Projectiles
{
public class CopperSS : ModProjectile

{
projectile.name = "Thrown Copper Shortsword";
projectile.width = 10;
projectile.height = 44;
projectile.timeLeft = 120;
projectile.penetrate = 0;
projectile.friendly = true;
projectile.hostile = false;
projectile.tileCollide = true;
projectile.ignoreWater = true;
projectile.ranged = true;
projectile.aiStyle = 0;
}
}
