Hi, here is some help

It's a really good tutorial series, it shows you all the basics in 1.4, he also has a 1.3 tutorial playlist and a lot of it is easy to convert to 1.4

Hi! You can do this for make an animation item/sword:

- First you will need Terraria.DataStructures in the code, just like this:

using Terraria.DataStructures;

- Then, in the middle of your code (SetStaticDefaults) you will add some codes:

    public override SetStaticDefaults()
    {
        Main.RegisterItemAnimation(Item.type, new DrawAnimationVertical(10, 9)); //the right number (9) is the ammount of frames your item/image has.
    }
