I'm trying to create some custom trees, pretty much just copying the code from ExampleMod, but it's not working. I'm trying to get trees to grow on vanilla tiles (in this case stone) and I have the acorn item working, I get a correct ghostly image of the correct sapling when it's selected, when I try to click an invalid tile nothing happens...that stuff is all working as intended. But when I click above a stone tile to place the sapling there, it shows the animation of placing the block, uses up the item, and nothing appears. This mod goes across several classes and I'm not sure which one the problem is in.
First, the item seems to work okay except that the sapling never appears:
Code:
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.ID;
//due to constraints discovered while debugging this will probably have to be reworked into a multi-purpose acorn
namespace OreTrees.Items
{
public class CopperAcorn : ModItem
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
Tooltip.SetDefault("An acorn made of copper.\nPlant to grow a copper tree.");
}
public override void SetDefaults()
{
//item.CloneDefaults(4851);
//Topaz Gemcorn doesn't seem to exist in the version of Terraria that tmodloader uses
item.width = 12;
item.height = 12;
item.maxStack = 999;
item.useTurn = true;
item.autoReuse = true;
item.useAnimation = 15;
item.useTime = 10;
item.useStyle = ItemUseStyleID.SwingThrow;
item.consumable = true;
item.createTile = ModContent.TileType<Tiles.CopperSapling>();
}
public override void AddRecipes()
{
ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.Acorn);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.CopperOre);
recipe.SetResult(this);
recipe.AddRecipe();
}
}
}
Then, since it's showing the ghostly preview of the correct sapling, I thought maybe this was working and the sapling tile might be the problem:
Code:
using Terraria.ModLoader;
using Terraria.ObjectData;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.Enums;
using Terraria.DataStructures;
using Terraria;
//using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
namespace OreTrees.Tiles
{
public class CopperSapling : ModTile
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
Main.tileFrameImportant[Type] = true;
Main.tileNoAttach[Type] = true;
Main.tileLavaDeath[Type] = true;
TileObjectData.newTile.Width = 1;
TileObjectData.newTile.Height = 2;
TileObjectData.newTile.Origin = new Point16(0, 1);
TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorBottom = new AnchorData(AnchorType.SolidTile, TileObjectData.newTile.Width, 0);
TileObjectData.newTile.UsesCustomCanPlace = true;
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateHeights = new[] { 16, 18 };
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinateWidth = 16;
TileObjectData.newTile.CoordinatePadding = 2;
TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorValidTiles = new int[] { TileID.Stone, TileID.Ebonstone, TileID.Crimstone };
//TileObjectData.newTile.AnchorValidTiles = new int[] { TileID.Grass };
TileObjectData.newTile.StyleHorizontal = true;
TileObjectData.newTile.DrawFlipHorizontal = true;
TileObjectData.newTile.WaterPlacement = LiquidPlacement.NotAllowed;
TileObjectData.newTile.LavaDeath = true;
TileObjectData.newTile.RandomStyleRange = 3;
TileObjectData.newTile.StyleMultiplier = 3;
//TileObjectData.newSubTile.CopyFrom(TileObjectData.newTile);
//TileObjectData.newSubTile.AnchorValidTiles = new int[] { TileID.Sand };
//TileObjectData.addSubTile(1);
TileObjectData.addTile(Type);
sapling = true;
adjTiles = new int[] { TileID.Saplings };
}
public override void RandomUpdate(int i, int j)
{
if (WorldGen.genRand.Next(20) == 0)
{
Tile tile = Framing.GetTileSafely(i, j);
bool growSuccess = WorldGen.GrowTree(i, j);
bool isPlayerNear = WorldGen.PlayerLOS(i, j);
if (growSuccess && isPlayerNear)
WorldGen.TreeGrowFXCheck(i, j);
}
}
public override void SetSpriteEffects(int i, int j, ref SpriteEffects effects)
{
if (i % 2 == 1)
effects = SpriteEffects.FlipHorizontally;
}
}
}
Again, most of this is copied from ExampleSapling; I guessed that the SubTile stuff has to do with palm trees and I'm not messing with that, so I commented it out just in case I need it later, but it doesn't work with or without that in there. It didn't work when RandomUpdate was empty, so I filled that in seeing if that was the problem. Same issue. My main Mod class even has a GlobalTile adding the CopperTree to stone, ebonstone, and crimstone in its Load method and it all compiles fine. I've been chasing this problem for over a week and I'm at a dead end; I've tried everything I can think to try short of decompiling the vanilla code and recreating trees from scratch. Which I
really don't want to do. What am I doing wrong here?
Not shown here: the Mod class, OreTrees; also CopperTree : ModTree. Let me know if you need to see these to diagnose the problem.
Oh, and the commented out line 29 in the acorn is from an experiment when I tried seeing what happens when I just let it be placed on grass, and when I did it placed a regular tree sapling. There's definitely something I'm not getting here. I'd appreciate any insight people can give even if it's that I did a stupid typo.
Edit: I've already redone the mods with herbs instead of trees and it's beautiful, but I'd still like to know what I did wrong here.
