How do I make a melee weapon deal a random amount of damage per hit? (example: dealing 1-100 damage every hit)

Title, I'm most likely just very blind for not seeing it but it'd still be very helpful to know. Thanks!

Use ModifyWeaponDamage hook

Use ModifyWeaponDamage hook

Hi, I'm barely starting on modding, and I wanted a weapon (4 sided dice that acts like spiky ball) that deals a random amount of damage. Is there any way you can help me? I also tried using virtual int Terraria.Utilities.UnifiedRandom.Next (int maxValue), but im not very proficient in c#, so i would really appreciate it if you could help me

This is my code

using LetsGoGambling.Content.Items.DamageClasses;
using System;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.Utilities;
using Humanizer;

virtual void LetsGoGambling.Content.ModifyWeaponDamage ( Player player,
ref StatModifier damage
)

namespace LetsGoGambling.Content.Items.Weapons // Item location
{
public class WoodenD4 : ModItem // Item name
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
Item.shoot = ModContent.ProjectileType<Projectiles.WoodenD4Projectile>(); // Item spawns projectile
Item.DamageType = ModContent.GetInstance<Luckydamage>(); // Custom damage type
Item.width = 27; // Sprite lenght
Item.height = 39; // Sprite height
Item.useStyle = ItemUseStyleID.Swing; // The way the character uses the item Use Style IDs
Item.useTime = 10; //Item frames of use
Item.useAnimation = 10; // Item animation
Item.autoReuse = true; // Item automatic or do you have to click again to use it
Item.damage = 1;
Item.knockBack = 1;
// Item.mana = 5; // ExampleDamageClass weapons should get magic and melee prefixes, but since this weapon doesn't have a mana cost all magic prefixes except Deranged can't be applied.
Item.crit = 6; //
Item.value = Item.buyPrice(0, 0, 0, 1); // Item price
Item.rare = ItemRarityID.White; // Item rarity Rarity
Item.UseSound = SoundID.Item1; // Sound when used
Item.shootSpeed = 6; // Item projectile velocity
Item.noMelee = true; // Item not dealing damage while held, we don’t hit mobs in the head with a gun
}
public override void AddRecipes() { CreateRecipe().AddIngredient(ItemID.Wood, 8).AddTile(TileID.Anvils).Register(); }
}
}

Override ModifyShootStats() and change damage based on some random chance.
