tModLoader How do I code a Yoyo for a mod?

[F2PKROW]

I'm wondering whats the code for a yoyo so I could add it to a mod I might make.

 

[F2PKROW]

Also, how do I make bosses drop custom items?

I guess I might as well teach.

public class TheYoyo : ModItem
{
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.CloneDefaults(ItemID.WoodYoyo);
            item.damage = 40;
            item.width = 32;
            item.height = 26;
            item.knockBack = 6;
            item.name = "The Yo-Yo";
            item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("Yoyo");
        }
}

That is the item. Put that in whatever file, obviously, with the correct namespace.

public class Yoyo : ModProjectile
{
    public override void SetDefaults()
    {
            projectile.CloneDefaults(ProjectileID.TheEyeOfCthulhu);
    }
}

That is the projectile, the thing it shoots. It simply copies another yo-yo
Boss Drop Code:

public class MyGlobalNPC : GlobalNPC

{
      public override void NPCLoot(NPC npc)
      {
            if (npc.type == NPCID.EyeOfCthulhu)
            {
                Item.NewItem((int)npc.position.X, (int)npc.position.Y, npc.width, npc.height, mod.ItemType("ExampleItem"), Main.rand.Next(5, 8));
            }
      }
}

That (should) make the Eye of Cthulhu drop 5-8 ExampleItems.

I'm not even sure if anyone exists here anymore, but does that method still work?

ExampleMod has both a yoyo and examples of items dropping from enemies, aswell as the wiki explaining drops in detail:
