tAPI Modding help pls!

Tehrcb · May 16, 2015

So I've been searching the internet for hours and NOBODY For realz knows ANYTHING about NPC shops! And if they do, nobody is nice enough to share it (Thanks internet.) So if you would like to help me, I'd be eternally and internally grateful and would give you so much credit in my mod it'll come out of your screen and thank you personally. Pls help, I usually know a lot about this but I've hit a wall.

Here is my NPC.JSON

Code:

{
    "displayName": "Herald of Cthulhu"
    "occupation": "Corrupt Herald"
    "lifeMax": 999
    "defense": 999
    "texture": "Midnight:Herald_NPC"
    "shop": true
    "frameCount": 15
    "npcSlots": 1
    "aiStyle": 7
    "male": false
    "textureHead": "Midnight:HeraldH"
  

}

Help please!

You have to make a cs file to have your npc sell merchandise, here is an example from my mod COFP...

Code:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;

using TAPI;
using Terraria;

namespace COFP.NPCs

                return true;
            } 
            return false;
        }
        public override string SetName() //Set the name...

        public override void SetChatButtons(ref string[] buttons)
        {
            buttons[0] = "Shop"; //Add a button called Shop.
        }
        public override void OnChatButtonClicked(string[] buttons, int buttonIndex, ref bool openShop)
        {
            if (buttonIndex == 0) openShop = true; //If the button is clicker, open the shop.
        }
        public override void SetupShop(Chest chest, ref int index)

you set the [index] to the name of the item being sold right?

That empty comment next to the if statement inside the CanSpawnTownNPC() hook was supposed to say "If the Eye of Cthullu is defeated in the world then set to true".

No, you put it inside SetDefaults... (chest.item[index].SetDefaults("ModInternalName:ModItem")

Just a quick question about the NPC spawning, is it possible to set it to spawn three nights after the world is created? Like three game nights.
