Probably be useful to create a Helper class with some commonly used/useful functions in, like hasInInventory and hasEquippedAccessoryAlright, thanks so much!
Even though that is a complicated process, I will learn.
You can probably change that in GlobalTile, but I wouldn't know how sorry
That’s ok, now I can look up Global Tiles since I have not heard of those.
Add [AutoloadHead] before the public class line. Like this:
using System;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.Localization;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using static Terraria.ModLoader.ModContent;
namespace ModName.NPCs
{
[AutoloadHead]
public class ModNPC : ModNPC
{It most likely seems to be due to the fact that the stone block is a vanilla item. Thus, you can do this:
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System;
using Terraria.DataStructures;
using Terraria.Localization;
using System.IO;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using System.Linq;
namespace ModName.Items
{
public class StoneBlock : GlobalItem
{
public override void SetDefaults(Item item) {
if (item.type == ItemID.StoneBlock) {
item.damage = 15;
item.ranged = true;
item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("StoneProj");
item.ammo = item.type; // This makes it so the ammo type of this Stone Block is the first one in it's class.
//item.ammo = ItemID.StoneBlock; // An alternative way to do it, since this is a vanilla item, it has an ID.
}
}
}
} public static void AI(Item item, Player player, NPC npc) {
if (npc.type == 2) {
if (player.miscEquips) {
if (item.type == ModContent.ItemType<SightNecklace>()) {
npc.friendly = true;
npc.aiStyle = 24;
npc.damage = 0;
}
}
}
}You seem to be checking if
player.miscEquips is true, but it's an Item[] array, and it can't convert that to a boolean. What exactly is the if(player.miscEquips) meant to be checking?tModLoader doesn't have a decompiler (that I'm aware of), so you're going to have to use something like ilspy or dnspy (or avalonia ilspy if you're on Linux or mac).
If you have access to Terraria's source code, you should be able to find them in Main. Search for 'zone' in Main
) and I need some help XD 
I can certainly try to help you with any questions you have, but the best way to learn is to just jump into it. Do have at least a quick look at a C# tutorial (tutorialspoint has a good one I think) as I had no idea how to code when I started modding, and didn't have a look at any tutorials, and it really slowed me down. Once you understand C# a bit (especially object-orientated-programming) you start to understand tModLoader.Hey all!
So I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, but I am starting work on a mod of my own (
I'm new to coding, but I feel like with a little help I could pick it up quite fast.
So I was wondering, would anyone be willing to sit with me for maybe like, 30mins or so, and just give me the basics of "this means this" in the context of Tmodloader?
I would really appreciate any help honestly, as the mod isn't super-advanced, just long-winded.
Thanks in advance! ^.^
In your magic weapon item's class, you'll need to override the Shoot method like so:
public override bool Shoot(Player player, ref Vector2 position, ref float speedX, ref float speedY, ref int type, ref int damage, ref float knockBack)
{
// Check for that 10% chance
if(Main.rand.Next(10) == 0)
{
// Change projectileTypeHere to whatever projectile type you want to shoot, with the 10% chance
type = projectileTypeHere;
}
return true; // Fire projectile - with a 10% chance, the type of projectile fired will be changed from item.shoot to projectileTypeHere
}if(projectile.timeLeft % 20 == 0) // Every 20 frames/ticks
{
// Fire a North Pole Snowflake at this projectile's center with velocity of 1 on the y-axis. Change the arguments to whatever you want
Projectile.NewProjectile(projectile.Center.X, projectile.Center.Y, 0, 1, ProjectileID.NorthPoleSnowflake, damageAmountHere, knockbackAmountHere, projectile.owner);
}
Thanks for the help! It works perfectly!
item.buffType = mod.BuffType("GhostbladeBuff"); //can also use item.buffType = BuffType<Buffs.GhostbladeBuff>();
item.buffType = BuffID.AmmoBox; //seems to be used for all vanilla buffs
item.buffType = mod.BuffType("string");
item.buffType = mod.BuffType<modBuff>();//is obsolete
item.buffType = ModContent.BuffType<modBuff>(); //works
item.buffType = ModContent.GetModBuff(modBuff); //I assume this works, but haven't tested it yet.I'd be glad to help!
BuffID.Buff;, why? Because it can only be used for vanilla buffs. Mod buffs don't have stable IDs, another mod may overwrite their IDs.mod.BuffType<modBuff>(); is obsolete (you stated it too,) it won't be used.item.buffType = ModContent.GetModBuff(modBuff); //I assume this works, but haven't tested it yet. either.item.buffType = mod.BuffType("modBuff");
item.buffType = BuffType<Buffs.modBuff>();
item.buffType = ModContent.BuffType<modBuff>();mod.BuffType("modBuff"); is the easiest, due to having a simple, easy to remember, code line.item.buffType = ModContent.BuffType<modBuff>();item.buffType = ModContent.BuffType<modBuff>(); but sure, if it works then you can use it.
