How do I animate a sword

This is my current code

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

namespace Gradient.Items
{
public class Masamuree : ModItem
{
public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
// DisplayName.SetDefault("Masamuree"); // By default, capitalization in classnames will add spaces to the display name. You can customize the display name here by uncommenting this line.
Tooltip.SetDefault("Great for impersonating devs!");
}

public override void SetDefaults()
{
Item.damage = 15000;
Item.DamageType = DamageClass.Melee;
Item.width = 40;
Item.height = 76;
Item.useTime = 11;
Item.useAnimation = 11;
Item.useStyle = 1;
Item.knockBack = 13;
Item.value = 0;
Item.rare = 9;
Item.UseSound = SoundID.Item1;
Item.autoReuse = false;
}

public override void AddRecipes()
{
Recipe recipe = CreateRecipe();
recipe.AddIngredient(ModContent.ItemType<Items.SnackticalsHeart>(), 1);
recipe.AddTile(TileID.WorkBenches);
recipe.Register();
}
}
}

And this is the sprite I want to use

i was about to open tmodloader to play more calamity but it keeps saying Steam Api Mismatch, assumed pirated, eventhough i bought terraria on steam, what do i do to fix this?

So i have a tiny problem and i dont know how to fix it.

I play Calamity with a few other mods and i am unable to catch critter such as worms or grasshoppers with my bugnet.
The pickup text pops up as if i picked it up but when i look in my inventory there isnt anything. :/

thx in advance for the help!

edit: sometimes some items vanish after i pick them up. same thing with the pickup text like above. ( mined mutant statue with the blue star from fargo and only have star in inventory)

I get this every time I open tmod, I've deleted the tmodloader files and terraria files multiple times, no change.

hello, I have a mod and I accidentally deleted it and didn't back it up. I didn't enable PBD or show code in the build. All it shows when I extract it is the "Extract" folder. Does anyone know how I can get my mod back? I spent a really long time on it, and want to get it back. Any help appreciated!

How do you make an NPC do something upon collision with a tile? Specifically, how can you make an NPC convert a tile into a different type on collision?

}
}
}

And this is the sprite I want to use

Main.RegisterItemAnimation(Item.type, new DrawAnimationVertical(12, 11));
Also anyone know how to make a projectile shoot another projectile at all?

[Jokadrian]

where do I put that?

In the SetStaticDefaults()

SetStaticDefaults()
}
Main.RegisterItemAnimation(Item.type, new DrawAnimationVertical(12, 11));
{

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, but my tModloader has been crashing on launch consistently. I haven't played the game in about two weeks, and I'm met with the error message below every time. I have tried clean reinstallations, updating graphics drivers, and running steam as an administrator, and none of these solutions have had any success. I can't find any other solutions, so help would be greatly appreciated.
