Hello, I'm trying to make an NPC, and I don't know how I would make the actual hitbox of the NPC smaller than the sprite?
I know I can change npc.width and npc.height, but I'm hesitant to in case that breaks the animation. Plus I'm wanting the hitbox offset from (0, 0) on the sprite anyway.
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

you should post the code of the projectile its self, it could be a problem there

Here it is:

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace Fmod.Projectiles.WeaponProjectiles.Ranged
{
class HarpyBowProjectile : ModProjectile
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
DisplayName.SetDefault("Feather");
}
public override void SetDefaults()
{
projectile.width = 16;
projectile.height = 12;
projectile.ranged = true;
projectile.aiStyle = 0;
aiType = ProjectileID.HarpyFeather;
projectile.timeLeft = 1200;
}
}
}

Here it is:

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace Fmod.Projectiles.WeaponProjectiles.Ranged
{
class HarpyBowProjectile : ModProjectile
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
DisplayName.SetDefault("Feather");
}
public override void SetDefaults()
{
projectile.width = 16;
projectile.height = 12;
projectile.ranged = true;
projectile.aiStyle = 0;
aiType = ProjectileID.HarpyFeather;
projectile.timeLeft = 1200;
}
}
}

I think you need to set projectile.friendly to true

Here it is:

using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace Fmod.Projectiles.WeaponProjectiles.Ranged
{
class HarpyBowProjectile : ModProjectile
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
DisplayName.SetDefault("Feather");
}
public override void SetDefaults()
{
projectile.width = 16;
projectile.height = 12;
projectile.ranged = true;
projectile.aiStyle = 0;
aiType = ProjectileID.HarpyFeather;
projectile.timeLeft = 1200;
}
}
}

aight so there are a few thing. first of the problem you were having was because of you not having

projectile.friendly = true;

that will hopfully fix the problem.
depending on what you want it to do you might want to add it so it stops when it hits a block like for example an arrow

projectile.tileCollide = true; ( or if you want it to go through blocks you dont have to)

and finally all projectiles go away if they touch water to change this you type

projectile.ignoreWater = true;

all of the things i showed go under
public override void SetStatic Defaults

which is where you had your other code.
i hope this helps

im not to wise on the subject. but if you are scared of it breaking the animation, you could make an exact copy of the npc ( add a "1" or something at the end of the name or it will override the pre-existing npc)
then you can mess around with it and not worry about it breaking. if it does break swap the file out with the back-up.

sorry i could not give a straight answere

ok so I have a projectile that is shot out of a staff. once the projectile hits the ground, it disappears and spawns in a consumable heart. I tried this in singleplayer, it works just fine, the consumable spawns in and you can use it to heal yourself. However, I wanted to test this with a friend, but for some reason although the projectile spawns, the consumable does NOT spawn after the projectile hits the ground. This issue only occurs in a multiplayer world. Any ideas on what's wrong here?

Look a this example in the projectiles Kill hook: tModLoader/tModLoader and look at line 89 onwards, it shows how to spawn items

I'm using git, so I can always revert if things go badly.
Thanks though

Question, how can you modify a enemies name? I am making a mod where certain enemies can become Elite enemies, having higher stats and inflict different effects. So far everything works alright, color change, stat up. Other than 2 problems being spiders when switching gaining new elite affixes and regenning health and the name. I want to have elite enemies have a slightly changed name, like "Overloading Blue Slime" and "Blazing Eye of Cthulhu." I know this is possible with "Prefixes for Enemies" existing, but have no idea how to do it.

Hello, i've recently been getting really bad framerate on modded multiplayer terraria and i have no idea why. I was doing fine, and then i played using fargo's soul mod and my fps was really bad during boss fights, only on multiplayer. Even after disabling the mod i continued to get bad frames. my game runs fine on singleplayer, but is bad in multiplayer whether i am hosting or joining another person's world. I would get around 40-50 fps just chilling at my base, and tank to 10-20 during most bossfights (some fights are fine, but plaugebringer goliath was especially bad). I can gather more info on this if needed. thanks in advance.

Hey, i'm working on a weapon for my mod and i'm having trouble finding a way to do this.
Basically, my weapon has 3 modes that can be changed by right clicking.
I also want to change the weapon's sprite when the mode changes.
Is there something like "item.texture = (texture path)"?
If not, how should i go about doing this?
Thanks

try this instead:

item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("yoyosaphireprojectile");

also make sure you spelt the name right

 

[Nekomancer08]

Hello, I'd like to know how one would go about making accessories that function similar to the Fire Gauntlet. The idea I have in mind is an item that makes all projectiles the wearer shoots explode on contact with an entity or block. However, despite my best efforts I cannot find any code for such things with which to reference.
