tModLoader How do I make my sword give the player a buff after hitting an enemy?

[Abismuth]

I've been making my melee item, and I want it to give the player a regeneration buff after hitting an enemy. Please help.

In the item, you can use the OnHitNPC() hook which provides the player parameter. Then you can just do player.AddBuff(whatever)
