tModLoader GetWeaponDamage not working

[ZanderMeister]

So, my GlobalItem has GetWeaponDamage method in it, that modifies damage based on ItemInfo property level.On first look, it works, damage property in tooltip changes and everyone is happy, but weapon still strikes with original damage.

If you (person, who wants to help, I hope.) need my code, i will post it.

Help please?

That is because, tooltip =/= actual damage
You will need to use this hook to modify the actual damage done.

I knew that things weren't that easy.Thank you!

BTW, description of hook says "melee weapon"...so, it doesn't work on ranged/magic/summoning weapons?

That's because it accounts for melee hits. If you have a projectile, you need to do it for the ModProjectile (or GlobalProjectile)
Summons (minions), thrown, ranged are also projectiles.
