Standalone [1.3] tModLoader - A Modding API

Come again with another question: how do pots drop items?
In detail, I made some little items and I want them to be dropped when certain pot was broken. Maybe just add a few items into the vanilla pot drop list.
Dunno whether express this in the way as it should be... :)hope it is intelligible.

BTW, is modifying content of a natural generated chest possible now?

I'm not sure about pots, I'll have to look into it, but ExampleMods exampleworld has an example of placing items in ice chests.
 
Yet I got another issue here: where is the suit attribution being kept in vanilla source code?
I'm tryna make myself some life steal effects, and I think maybe I can get it from the Spectre suit. However, I searched from item to player, nothing was found. Where are these attribution defined?

It's in the UpdateArmorSets method in Player.cs. The Spectre set activates the ghostHeal bool, which in turn is used in Projectile.cs.

Found it. Now I know it is something like the vampire heal, and I cannot understand how it works.
I'm just trying to make myself a life stealing blade, a melee weapon. I may not need to the method complicated like this and they often involve a projectile feedback which is also unnecessary. So the reason I was looking up in these effects is that I wanna find how a NPC's damage is calculated - how to gain the damage when a NPC gets hit?
It is annoying to ask these question that the anwser of it could be gained through existed data... but I've looked the whole source code for the whole afternoon, I'm dazzle now...

You can use tModLoader's OnHitNPC for that, damage is one of the parameters.

If your version has letters or isn't 2-4 numbers separated by periods, you'll have that problem.

OK, I'm gonna learn a bit about that and meanwhile waiting your mighty solution of pots!

Looks like pots are hard coded without any hooks yet. So no luck there.
 
Um I know I posted this complaint twice, but no one is helping me out so I am going to say it again. So, recently I downloaded the Tremor Mod, and when I play, some sounds are missing. These sounds include but aren't limited to the sound of coins being spent/picked up, and occasionally the music disappears as well. Thanks!

P.S. I play on Mac.

That's about what i was thinking of doing, I just can't seem to find the specific code/calls to do the checking if a mount item is equipped and which one it is.

Anyone have any idea on how to do this? I've been looking through the example mod and not having any luck finding the code to check an equipped accessory/mount.

player.miscEquips are the pet, light pet, mount, cart, and hook slots. You can try something like this for swapping the pet with inventory slot 0:
Code: 
Utils.Swap<Item>(ref Main.player[Main.myPlayer].miscEquips[0], ref Main.player[Main.myPlayer].inventory[0]);
If you just want to check the pet, just
Code: 
Main.player[Main.myPlayer].miscEquips[0].type == ItemID.ZephyrFish

Does it happen on a different Mod?
Does it happen with Tremor Mod removed?
Does it happen if you revert back to vanilla Terraria?
What Model Mac?
What OS version?

My guess, having never tried Tremor and being pretty new to tModLoader, is that there's something going on with that mod that's affecting the sound playback in your game.

I think I've never been more confused... I have this item, that gives you a buff and produces this projectile, that stays with you as you move around. This projectile also spawns its actual damage in intervals as to avoid rapid damage. The issue, and stay with me on this, is that when I leave the general spawn area, the projectile will kill itself... I cant explain it any better than that, If I use the item when i spawn and about 20 tiles left or right, it works fine. Pass that limit and poof, it vanishes. Any ideas?

Does it change anything if you check HasBuff < 0 instead of HasBuff < 1?

You could probably make a custom field that stores the durability, decrease this custom field in the Shoot hook, check to make sure this durability is positive in the CanUse hook, and use the OnPickup hook to increase this field.
