tModLoader How do you make a minion take up a partial minion slot?

[LuckyLMJ]

I am making a minion using tModLoader, and I tried to make it take up half a minion slot using this code:

projectile.minionSlots = 0.5f;

When I have one minion slot, I can only summon one minion. But when I have two, I can summon three, and when I remove the 2nd minion slot so I only have one slot again, I keep two of the minions.


Can someone explain what is happening?

I also tried setting the minion slots per minion to 0.49, and it had the same issue.

Don’t worry, this issue existed in 1.3 with the spider staff

Does anyone know the answer to the question, I am still trying this and it doesn't work
