Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

[Jeckel]

(God I'm posting so much lol) I got an error, and here is the error code and my code:

c:\Users\nick\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mod Sources\TheOmegaMod\Items\Weapons\BladeOfVictory.cs(32,30) : error CS0161: 'TheOmegaMod.Items.Weapons.BladeOfVictory.Shoot(Terraria.Player, ref Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector2, ref float, ref float, ref int, ref int, ref float)': not all code paths return a value

The error says exactly what the problem is. If you look at the Shoot() method, it requires that a bool be returned and you aren't returning anything. To decide if you want to return true or false, you can go read the documentation for the method on the github wiki for ModItem: https://github.com/bluemagic123/tModLoader/wiki/ModItem

what would i use to craft item at anvil mister moderator?

 

[Jeckel]

Take a look at the items in ExampleMod, several of them show how to tie items to crafting stations.

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace GamingsMod.Items.Weapons

public override void SetDefaults()
{
item.name = "Death Bringer";
item.damage = 40;
item.magic = true;
item.mana = 4;
item.width = 40;
item.height = 40;
item.toolTip = "Some say only few can use the staff without dying.";
item.useTime = 25;
item.useAnimation = 25;
item.useStyle = 5;
Item.staff[item.type] = true;

im getting an error about ItemID

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

If you are using Visual Studio, which you should be, then hover your mouse over the red underlined problem and it will give you options on how to fix it. In this case, ItemID isn't defined anywhere in your code, so you have to include the reference to the code that has ItemID, which would mean adding 'using Terraria.ID;' to the top of the file.

nope im using notepad

nope im using notepad

Ah, well there is the root of the problem. If you aren't extremely familiar with C#, then not using a proper code editor is shooting yourself in the foot. I've been coding for over a decade and wouldn't do it in notepad.

 

[Orion The Boundary Ryu]

can you see a problem tho?

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace GamingsMod.Items.Weapons
{
public class DeathBringer : ModItem
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
item.name = "Death Bringer";
item.damage = 40;
item.magic = true;
item.mana = 4;
item.width = 40;
item.height = 40;
item.toolTip = "Some say only few can use the staff without dying.";
item.useTime = 25;
item.useAnimation = 25;
item.useStyle = 5;
Item.staff[item.type] = true;
item.noMelee = true;
item.knockBack = 5;
item.value = 10000;
item.rare = 2;
item.useSound = 20;
item.autoReuse = true;
item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("AmethystBolt");
item.shootSpeed = 16f;
}

public override void AddRecipes()
{
ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID, "Obsidian", 10);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID, "Amethyst", 10);
recipe.AddTile(ItemID, "Workbenches");
recipe.SetResult(this);
recipe.AddRecipe();
}
}
}

public override void AddRecipes()
{
ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID, "Obsidian", 10);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID, "Amethyst", 10);
recipe.AddTile(ItemID, "Workbenches");
recipe.SetResult(this);
recipe.AddRecipe();
}
}
}

Look at this, then look at the 30 something recipes in example mod, you'll figure it out. Here's a good one: https://github.com/bluemagic123/tMo...xampleMod/Items/Placeable/VoidMonolith.cs#L28

I've told you the answer to this twice. You don't have 'using Terraria.ID;' in your file.

 

[Orion The Boundary Ryu]

im very confused cause im half asleep man, I STAYED UP TILL 5 LEARNING THIS! sos
[doublepost=1470902124,1470901724][/doublepost]currently i have no clue what your saying and im not going to use visual studio. I must learn to do this

 

[Jeckel]

This:

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

Should be:

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.Obsidian, 10);

recipe.AddTile(TileID, "Workbenches");

You see the problem here?
