I've been having trouble getting the summon item i'm making to work properly. The minion only spawns for a second, and then it disappears. Here is the summon item .json. http://hastebin.com/iluwetemow.coffee

What does he look like? He's based off the pirate AI and needs the correct amount of frames, in this order

Yeah, he has that amount of frames. But I'm not sure if pixels from each from overlap into the other. I'll try using the regular Pirate sprite and see if that works. EDIT: No go.

This is awesome! Now I know how to create minions!
And how to create Minion Buff?

It doesn't really have an effect, so it's only a choice; but just make the "tip" whatever you want, set "noTimer" to true, set "noSave" to true, and make the summoner weapon give the buff for as much time as possible without the builder unrecognizing it as an int (i think 99999999 is the max)

And if I right click the buff will the Minions disappear?
 
Hello again

I have a problem, I am trying to make a new crafting station but the texture that I use wont appear when I place the tile, It is just pink.

This is the code for the tile:

{
"displayName": "Stone Workbench",
"size": [ 2, 2 ],
"frameWidth": 54,
"frameHeight": 54,
"solid": false,
"blocksLight": false,
"blocksSun": false,
"mergeDirt": false,
"placementConditions": "flatGround",
"placementOrigin": [0,1],
"drop": "ocranian:StoneWorkBench",
"breaksByPick": true,
"dust": 0,
"sound": 1,
"soundGroup": 6,
"mapColor": [126, 160, 142],
"mapHoverText": "Stone Workbench"
}

And here is the tile texture:

And here is the tile code:

{
"displayName": "Stone Workbench",
"size": [3,3],
"frameWidth": 52,
"frameHeight": 44,
"frameImportant": true,
"solid": false,
"blocksLight": false,
"blocksSun": false,
"mergeDirt": false,
"placementConditions": "flatGround",
"drop": "ocranian:StoneWorkBench",
"breaksByPick": true,
"adjTile": ["Work Bench"],
"dust": 0,
"sound": 1,
"mapColor": [126, 160, 142],
"mapHoverText": "Stone Workbench"

Each area surrounded by pink lines is one frame. So, the frame measurements should actually be
"frameWidth": 16,
"frameHeight": 18,
or the other way around, not sure. Hope this helped!

Did you enable your mod in tAPI? It's disabled by default.
You probably need a space in the recipe. Change it to
Code: 
"items": { "Dirt Block": 4 },
 
first thanks for you fast replay
next i did said (2 - activated done that mean i did unable it in the mod menu )
i did made a space in my recipe and i did add another one like you did but its the same thing nothing changed im using the r14a TPI is there eny thing wrong in my codes ?
 
Man ı really want that gatling laser thing.
But,can we make razorblade typhoon effect?
