Does anyone have a sample sprite sheet for normal leg armor? The one in the template mod doesn't help much since it is of a robe bottom.

Also, I am unable to get a multi-projectile weapon to work properly. Or do I just need to add a recipe in the C#? I'm still confused on whether the C# and JSON work together or not on one item...

I want to request feature. ModWorld already has `PreHitWire`, but in order to create interconnected devices (like pumps or teleports) a hook that will be invoked when all wires in single mesh are processed is required. `PostTripWire` or something similar.
 
It doesnt work for me. If i put a mod into the local folder tapi crashes! Is there anyone who knows how to fix it?
 
I am using these two codes
And I'm not sure why I am not getting multiple projectiles when I shoot the gun. Either I don't understand how things work, but I'm trying to do things like they are in the template mod. I have no idea whether both the JSON and C# are necessary to do this kind of stuff.

using Terraria;
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;

using TAPI;

namespace The_Luposi.Items
{
public class RevegskardeMSX4 : ModItem
{
public override bool PreShoot(Player player,Vector2 ShootPos,Vector2 ShootVelocity,int projType,int Damage,float knockback)
{
int ShotAmt = 2;
int spread = 65;
float spreadMult = 0.05f;
for(int i = 0; i < ShotAmt; i++)
{
float vX = ShootVelocity.X+(float)Main.rand.Next(-spread,spread+1) * spreadMult;
float vY = ShootVelocity.Y+(float)Main.rand.Next(-spread,spread+1) * spreadMult;

Projectile.NewProjectile(ShootPos.X,ShootPos.Y,vX,vY,projType,Damage,knockback,Main.myPlayer);
}
return false;
}
}
}

Also... How is this compressed lol.
 
So I'm trying to make a gun that fires as fast or faster then the megashark and i can only get it to fire one projectile every 6 or so seconds
Code: 
{
    "displayName": "Mega gun",
    "size": [42,40],
    "maxStack": 1,
    "value": [6,6,6,6],
    "rare": 9,
    "tooltip": "Test",
    "useStyle": 5,
    "useAnimation": 7,
    "useTIme": 1,
    "damage": 50,
    "knockback": 3,
    "useSound": 11,
    "autoReuse": true,
    "ranged": true,
    "noMelee": true,
    "shoot": 14,
    "shootSpeed": 7,
    "useAmmo": 14,
   
    "recipes":
    [{
        "items": { "Dirt Block": 1 },
        "tiles": [ "Work Bench" ],

try reduce "shootSpeed" to 1. If it is faster, then adjust to your desire value.

Your problem is likely the "useTIme" - I should not be capital. Also a use time of 1 will likely result in a continuous stream of bullets. useAnimation being 7 will currently result in your weapon firing 7 bullets per use IIRC. Try to match your useAnimation with your useTime if you want it to work like a normal gun (non burst mode)

Actually I believe shootSpeed modifies at what velocity the projectile is fired, rather than modifying the delay in between shots.

I think it should be mentioned that if an item has a useAnimation of less than 2, the gun won't fire anything, 'cause--my best guess is--it's firing faster than it can spawn the projectile. The fastest gun you can get is by setting useTime and useAnimation to 2, or you could have useAnimation set to 2 and useTime set to 1... Well, that's the way it was with tConfig, anyway. Terraria 1.2.x/tAPI r11+ might have better coding. Best thing to do is to test it.

I fixed it by correcting the "useTime" and changing both "useTime" and "useAnimation" to 3 thanks!

How I can create a "Developer-like" armor? So my armor will inflict debuffs if other player will try to wear it.
Click to expand...

Easiest way I would think is to create a "key" file of some form, and then set a parameter for the mod's onload call to see if the key exists or not on the individual client.

As it has been said, you cannot directly use the in-game functioning, but you can mirror it with some clever "trickery".
 
Hey guys its me again with another problem so i was trying to add some effects to my armor hood, theirs no errors when i build the mod but the effects just don't work
Code: 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

using TAPI;
using Terraria;

namespace Bensmod.Items
{
    public class Nightmarehood : ModItem
    {
        public override void Effects(Player player) //op accessory is op
        {
            player.magicDamage += 80;
            player.manaRegenDelayBonus += 4;
            player.manaRegenBonus += 100;
        }
    }
}
 
So uh, I was messing around with an armor in r13 that I hadn't finished spriting yet, I think I found a bug...

As you can see, the face kinda clips through the arm partially when there texture is completely transparent there, and it looks really awkward. Not really sure what's causing it, I tried other vanilla armors that are transparent there (like the treasure hunter shirt), but it only seems to happen with mod armors
 
Hello.I'm having a bug in tAPI r13.
I install everything play in a new map with a new character and close the map.

This is not a bug, but rather a lack of a feature you use.
Terraria has player drawing where if an armor has a hand sprite but no 'hasHands' , the skin's hands won't be drawn.
Same goes for the arms.
(so basically, it expects to draw a full skin covering arm / hand , but you don't give it that , and its not ordered to draw the skin)
you can add "hasArms": true / "hasHands": true, to your json in order to get those to be drawn.

If I had to guess, the json of your mod item mismatches the class name of your item (if the item is named Nightmare Hood , the class needs to be named NightmareHood respectively, not Nightmarehood)

If you could say which mod is causing this issue and verify that the mod is for tAPI's latest version , that would be helpful.
Mods for older version of tAPI may break and/or not load properly.
 
Does anyone know of a way to check what armour set bonus the player currently has? I know I could could check each individual armour piece that's worn but that would be beyond tedious for what I am doing.
 
Just a heads up here - I think CanTownNPCSpawn isn't working. I had a world opened for three in game days, and no custom Town NPCs spawned. I don't think there was anything wrong on my end either, because as soon as I changed to CanSpawn, with the exact same conditions, one spawned within minutes. I'm using r13a.
