is it possible to speed up projectile animations?

[FlamingFire]

based on what i known, 1 frame of an animation is around 5 ticks, is it possible to speed that up, or in other words, make it so it uses less ticks per frame?

Is this for your own custom projectile? You can animate it as quickly as you'd like. Or do you want to change vanilla ones?

It's for a custom projetile.

sorry for taking so long. here is my full code:

using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.GameContent;

namespace Vanniluxe.Content.Projectiles.OnFireFlamethrower

            Projectile.ai[0] += 2f;

            FadeInAndOut();

            Projectile.velocity *= 1;

            if (++Projectile.frameCounter >=8) {
                Projectile.frameCounter = 0;
               
                if (++Projectile.frame >= Main.projFrames[Projectile.type])

            if (Projectile.ai[0] >= 100f)
                Projectile.Kill();

           
            Projectile.direction = Projectile.spriteDirection = (Projectile.velocity.X > 0f) ? 1 : -1;

            Projectile.rotation = Projectile.velocity.ToRotation();

            if (Main.netMode != NetmodeID.Server)
            {
                Dust dust = Dust.NewDustPerfect(

                    newColor: Color.Orange,
                    Scale: 0.6f
                    );
                dust.noGravity = true;
                dust.fadeIn = -1f;
            }
            }
        }

       
        public void FadeInAndOut() {
           
            if (Projectile.ai[0] <= 90f) {
               
                Projectile.alpha -= 50;
               
                if (Projectile.alpha < 100)
                    Projectile.alpha = 100;

                return;
            }

            Projectile.alpha += 50;
            if (Projectile.alpha > 255)
                Projectile.alpha = 255;
        }

    }
}

i copied it from examplemod in thr github wiki

 

[This is Many]

use normal code

            if (++Projectile.frameCounter >= 8) // 8 is delay in ticks
            {
                Projectile.frameCounter = 0;
                if (++Projectile.frame >= Main.projFrames[Projectile.type])
                    Projectile.frame = 0;
            }
