But how to use the AI code directly?

You'll either have to write your own, or copy+paste directly from Terraria's source.

Im sorry if im boring to you, but how to do that, and can i do it with tModLoader
( and where to find the Terraria source ( i have been searching for the source all day ))

Okay, so I changed the 2 to 300, so the effect is being added to long to allow it to disappear (unless the player is too far from the candle), but there's still a timer. This works, but I'd prefer it if the buff was like the water candle buff, where it would be there without a timer, until the player is too far away, and it would go away instantly when the player does.
Yes, you can do that with tModLoader (really, cloning vanilla items only gets you so far. You'll eventually have to venture into the world of 'real' programming).
There are multiple methods you can use to implement AI, but I recommend using PreAI:
Code:
public override bool PreAI()
{
// AI stuff.
return false;
}Heck, even me telling you how to decompile it could get me into trouble, but I've done so in the past so I pay that little mind.
I'd recommend you download a program called 'IlSpy'. Once downloaded, you can drag+drop your Terraria executable file into the program and it'll decompile it for you. Simple as that.
The I recommend using 10 instead of 300.
Decompiling is fine, as long as no source or unprotected .exe are distributed.

Thanks, btw i already tryed the ILSpy, but it just cracks up my computer and it just doesn't work with Terraria 1.3 and up ( i really hoped for having a great mod, but i dont know anything about programming, i just understand what the code does, and it sucks that all my yoyos are the same range )

You need to wait for the decompiler to finish. Terraria's source code is huge, so it takes a bit.
Also, don't decompile the whole code, look for a specific file or function and decompile only it.

I decompiled it but there were just some useless files with ID like Item.ID and Projectile.ID , but no item or any other .cs file than that. :'(

I guess im going to stick with all same ranged yoyos

If you see a lot of IDs then you're probably in the wrong namespace.
Simply the Terraria namespace should contain all needed classes and Funktions used for Items,Enemys,Projectiles e.t.c

That is correct. Another important field is Main.NetMode. It will be 0 when playing in single-player, 1 when playing in multiplayer and 2 on the server running the game.

Thanks. I set it to 60, it didn't constantly disappear, and gave it only 1 second to disappear, when going out of range. I guess I'll try 30 when I'm sure the buff is working.

}If someone could give me a example of a candle (one that can be opened with tModReader v0.8) that might solve all the problems I'm having.
I'm not expecting help for all of this at once:
My biggest problem:
- The CrimsonCandle.cs is very similar to CursedCandle.cs, yet unlike the Cursed Candle, when I place the Crimson Candle down it has no animation and all background furniture and leaves becomes invisible.
My other problems are:
- Neither of the torches are giving off light.
- How do I make it so that the candle is only placed on surfaces like crafting tables, and platforms?
- I also seem to be getting the animation wrong. I used the "public override void PostDraw" from ExampleTorch.cs as a reference, but I don't understand the whole thing. I attached the Cursed Candle image files. As the animation moves, I see the pink line on the right of the candle fluctuate between in different sizes between being drawn in a little bit and not being drawn at all.

Another question. On servers, what clients run the NPCLoot function from GlobalNPC.
If only on the host client, then how can you see which player the NPC was killed by?

I haven't really messed around with NPCLoot much so I can't really give you much of an answer, but whenever I want to find out where and when a hook is called, I put something like the following into it.
Code:
Main.NewText("NPCLoot, someVaraible: " + npc.someVaraible); //this will output text to the chat box ingame
Console.WriteLine("NPCLoot, someVaraible: " + npc.someVaraible); //this will output text to the server's console window

Hey guys! I'm quite new here and i ran into a massive problem, when i try to open my character on my world it gives me a error code:

Anyone that can give me any information on this would be a great help, thanks. (p.s. im still in 1.3.3.2 and tmodloader version v0.8.3.4 if that helps.)

Yeah I am having the exact same crash report, but with my world file and not my character. I could use an explanation as well.Hey guys! I'm quite new here and i ran into a massive problem, when i try to open my character on my world it gives me a error code:
