I ended up getting it to work partially how I wanted, and two things.

1. Using 0 as the standard swing style didn't work, 1 was the original swing instead
2. The sprite and using of the item is glitchy, as I don't think any item was meant to be used in more than 1 style

sure. but the first 3 styles are normal for swords I think...

They are, but when you swing in style 3 after style 1 for example, the sword will flash behind your character before teleporting where it should for the style change. It inflicts damage behind the character as well, causing an overall buggy feel.

I know by the way. So, your sword was probably just fun thing so it is more like test thing

I had a look through some old code for one of my mods, and I got it working by changing item.useStyle in the HoldItem hook. The HoldItem hook is called every frame, so you won't want to increase your swing int with it. Instead use UseItem to increase swing like you already do, and use HoldItem to set item.useStyle to swing.

How do you check if the player was hit and how to apply it to an item/ accesory?
I know its probably something really simple and just something I havent discovered yet but I'd really appreciate it if someone knew how to do that...
Nvm I figured it out myself...

Does anyone know which sound ID is used when the Wolf enemy is hit? I'm using this Vanilla SoundID list but I'd like to ask before I start testing all of the NPCHit sounds, there are a lot.

 

[Argentum]

@michaelsoftman do you mean werewolf or wolf
The wolf uses npc hit sound 1 for organic, the werewolf uses npc hit sound 6 which is the 'beast' hit sound.
Have fun
Edit:There is also an easy way to check for all of these hit sounds.
Someone created a thread for that.
This is the thread: tModLoader - Dust and Sound Catalogue 2
I really recommend checking it out.

Is there any way at all to get steam achievements/time with tmodloader? like a manual install or etc. I heard the installation manual method changed though, you have to put it in a separate folder instead of replacing the terraria folder files, so is there any workaround at all? I don't like 1.4 much bc of the changes like the NPC house prices/happiness, reaver shark nerf etc, I'd love to play terraria 1.3.5.3 or tmodloader 1.3.5.3 and get steam achievements.

 

[Argentum]

Im not sure if its possible but I doubt it.
Many of the achievments did not exist i 1.3.5.3 and Im not even sure if Tmodloader is compatible with achievments.
There is probably a way to download Terraria 1.3.5.3 but that is probably on an other side of the Internet.
Maybe I missed something but as far as I know it isnt possible.
But you could search for a mod that adds achievements or similiar.

tmodloader wont run. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still wont work.

 

[Argentum]

@Astro. what exactly happens when you try to run the game?

 

[Astro.]

it just shows a white screen and says reporting problem to microsoft

 

[Argentum]

Are you running the game per Steam?

 

[Astro.]

yes

 

[Argentum]

the Steam cloud sometimes messes things up and causes Tmodloader to crash.
Are there problems with any other games too?
Edit:I'll have to read your stuff later since I'll be offline for now.
I hope someone else can fix it while I'm gone
Good luck

 

[Astro.]

it does the same with terraria and thats it

 

[Geotree]

when I try to build my mod it says

Found: No Mod Classes

 

[Solo-Ion]

Then the problem is with Terraria, not tModLoader. The first thing that you should try is to verify Terraria's cache.
(Right click on game > properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files...)

 

[Astro.]

ive already done that and idk what to do

 

[Geotree]

nvm, problem solved
