Hi! I have been looking everywhere for this but have not found it. I made a modded projectile and ammo that I want to shoot out of the vanilla snowball cannon. How do I do this? Thanks!
 
I don't have experience with modding, but I would think it's a specific value assigned only to the snowball. If you can extract that and copy it into your new item it might work. Good luck.

when making modded ammo, you usually have a thing that says item.ammo and you should try putting AmmoID.Snowball

HI, sorry for the delayed response I had things to do. I used some of the code you gave me, I get no errors but it doesent work. Here is my code:

C#: 
public class SnowballCannon : GlobalItem
    {
        public override void SetDefaults(Item item)
        {
            if (item.type == ItemID.SnowballCannon)
            {
                item.ammo = mod.ItemType("IceBall");
                item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("IceBallProjectile");
    
            }
        }
    }

Thanks for any help!
 
In your IceBall item, in SetDefaults
Code: 
item.ammo = AmmoID.Snowball;
item.shoot = ModContent.ItemType<IceBallProjectile>();
 
Just woke up today and realized I told you to put ItemType instead of ProjectileType.
So try item.shoot = ModContent.ProjectileType<IceBallProjectile>();

I don't think you understand what I'm trying to do sry. I have a throwing weapon called "IceBall" that throws "IceBallProjectile" It workes fine.

I'm trying to have the snowball cannon use "IceBall" as ammo and shoot IceBallProjectile

I allready have item.shoot = ModContent.ProjectileType<IceBallProjectile>(); in my iceball code.

Sorry for any confusion and thank you for your help.
 
C#: 
public class SnowballCannon : GlobalItem
    {
        public override void SetDefaults(Item item)
        {
            if (item.type == ItemID.SnowballCannon)
            {
                item.ammo = mod.ItemType("IceBall");
                item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("IceBallProjectile");
   
            }
        }
    }

If you still have this in your code, remove it
 
I see what you are trying to do but I have no idea how to work this way when making ammo. so I'll let you see how my ammo works to try and help you.

public class ChlarospharicBullet : ModItem
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
DisplayName.SetDefault("ChlarospharicBullet");
Tooltip.SetDefault("would it be called chlarosphic or chlarosphine?");
}

public override void SetDefaults()
{
item.damage = 45;
item.ranged = true;
item.width = 8;
item.height = 8;
item.maxStack = 9999;
item.consumable = true;
item.knockBack = 16f;
item.value = 1;
item.rare = 2;
item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("ChlarospharicBullet"); // replace with your projectile
item.shootSpeed = 20f;
item.ammo = AmmoID.Bullet; // replace with snowball
