tModLoader Cheeze's Tips and Tricks

[RunicPixels🧚🌳]

Hello People, on this thread I'll be helping people with some tips and tricks to get certain formula's or cool things to work within tModLoader.
First of all I want to share my "Critical Damage Multiplier Formula"

Spoiler: Put this within your modPlayer

        public float critMultiplier = 1.0f; // Base crit multiplier. Critical damage will be damage * this number + damage type modifier.
        public float meleeCritMultiplier = 0.0f; // Melee Crit Multiplier, percentage that will be added onto the critical damage.
        public float rangedCritMultiplier = 0.0f; // Ranged Crit Multiplier, percentage that will be added onto the critical damage.
        public float magicCritMultiplier = 0.0f; // Magic Crit Multiplier, percentage that will be added onto the critical damage.
        public float thrownCritMultiplier = 0.0f; // Thrown Crit Multiplier, percentage that will be added onto the critical damage.
   
        public override void ModifyHitNPC(Item item, NPC target, ref int damage, ref float knockback, ref bool crit)
        {
            if (crit == true)
            {
                if(item.melee == true) // Melee Crit
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * (critMultiplier + meleeCritMultiplier)); // Damage gets amplified by the crit multiplier.
                }
                else if (item.ranged == true) // Ranged Crit
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * (critMultiplier + rangedCritMultiplier));
                }
                else if (item.magic == true) // Magic Crit
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * (critMultiplier + magicCritMultiplier));
                }
                else if (item.thrown == true) // Thrown Crit
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * (critMultiplier + thrownCritMultiplier));
                }
                else
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * critMultiplier); // Damage gets amplified by the crit multiplier.
                }
            }
        }
   
        public override void ModifyHitNPCWithProj(Projectile proj, NPC target, ref int damage, ref float knockback, ref bool crit)
        {
            if (crit == true)
            {
                if (proj.melee == true) // Melee Crit
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * (critMultiplier + meleeCritMultiplier)); // Damage gets amplified by the crit multiplier.
                }
                else if (proj.ranged == true) // Ranged Crit
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * (critMultiplier + rangedCritMultiplier));
                }
                else if (proj.magic == true) // Magic Crit
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * (critMultiplier + magicCritMultiplier));
                }
                else if (proj.thrown == true) // Thrown Crit
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * (critMultiplier + thrownCritMultiplier));
                }
                else
                {
                    damage = (int)(damage * critMultiplier); // Damage gets amplified by the crit multiplier.
                }
            }
        }

Spoiler: Weapon example

        public override void UpdateInventory(Player player)
        {
            if (player.inventory[player.selectedItem] == this.item)
            {
                ((*YourModPlayer*)player.GetModPlayer(mod, "*YourModPlayer*")).critMultiplier += 0.21f; //<- An additional 21% critical hit damage.
            }
        }

If you want to specify your damage type, do use meleeCritMultiplier, rangedCritMultiplier, magicCritMultiplier or thrownCritMultiplier.

Spoiler: Accessory example

        public override void UpdateAccessory(Player player, bool hideVisual)
        {     
((*YourModPlayer*)player.GetModPlayer(mod, "*YourModPlayer*")).critMultiplier += 0.21f; //<- An additional 21% critical hit damage.

        }

If you want to specify your damage type, do use meleeCritMultiplier, rangedCritMultiplier, magicCritMultiplier or thrownCritMultiplier.

I will add more later.

Spoiler: Changelog

v0.2 - damage types and accessories.
v0.1 - basic crit multiplier formula.
v0.1b - changed formula to addition instead of multiplier, so that multiple boosts don't boost each other.
