You want to spawn dust on the player body, or on the projectile ?
And you're using tmodloader, right ?

Yes . i use tmodloader.
Yes i want spawn dust on weapon that i use when i shoot, that will be more correctly. Not projectile.
I wanna make something like smoke after shoot. or bullet casing that flying arround after shoot.
And i very interesting how to create animation for gun - example : minigun spinning barrels when its shooting.

You can use this, in the ITEM.cs file of your weapon.
It will spawn dust on the weapon when used, feel free to change it however you need to.
C#:
public override bool Shoot(Player player, ref Vector2 position, ref float speedX, ref float speedY, ref int type, ref int damage, ref float knockBack)
{
Vector2 muzzleOffset = Vector2.Normalize(new Vector2(speedX, speedY)) * 64f;
if (Collision.CanHit(position, 0, 0, position + muzzleOffset, 0, 0))
position += muzzleOffset;
int dustQuantity = 5; // How many particles do you want ?
for(int i = 0 ; i < dustQuantity ; i ++)
{
Vector2 dustOffset = Vector2.Normalize(new Vector2(speedX, speedY)) * 32f;
int dust = Dust.NewDust(player.position + dustOffset, item.width, item.height, 6); // Create the dust, "6" is the dust type (fire, in that case).
Main.dust[dust].noGravity = true; // Is the dust affected by gravity ?
Main.dust[dust].velocity *= 1f; // Change the dust velocity.
Main.dust[dust].scale = 1.5f; // Change the dust size.
}
return true; // Do you want the weapon to shoot the initial projectile ?
}It will spawn dust on the weapon when used, feel free to change it however you need to.
