hmm, maybe when you are applying debuff, you should save the damagr that the npc has, and after it wears off return the value to it? i dont really know, just a poor theory
I've tried, but I don't grasp the syntax well enough to know how. If I can just get npc.damage to call its value from Terraria.NPC in ResetEffects, I think it'd work. Otherwise, yeah, I need to define a way to save the original value, set the current npc.damage to 0, and then return it to the original value when it evaluates buff status as false.
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
namespace FarLandsMod.NPCs
{
public class FarLandsGlobalNPC : GlobalNPC
{
public override bool InstancePerEntity
{
get
{
return true;
}
}
public bool HedgePetrify = false;
public override void ResetEffects(NPC npc)
{
HedgePetrify = false;
}
public override bool PreAI(NPC npc)
{
if (HedgePetrify)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
//Not sure where to put the X/Y/damage effects of the debuff. Putting them in UpdateLifeRegen has worked.
public override void UpdateLifeRegen(NPC npc, ref int damage)
{
if (HedgePetrify)
{
//THIS is where I CAN set the npc's damage to 0, but it never reverts back if I do
//npc.damage = 0;
//The following stops lateral movement fine; however, while it does bring airborne targets to the ground, npcs still tend to "shake". I'm not sure how to clean that up, but it works for now so I leave it. I'm suspecting some kind of Y = 10 until tile collision then Y = 0 code might resolve it, but I'm having trouble getting anything else to work. Movement resumes on fade, I think because preAI returns to true and reassigns X and Y values
npc.velocity.X = 0;
if (npc.velocity.Y == 0)
{
npc.velocity.Y = 0;
}
else
{
npc.velocity.Y = 10;
}
if (npc.lifeRegen > 0)
{
npc.lifeRegen = 0;
}
}
}
//The following draws a small amount of dust while they're debuffed. Hoping to replace it with something that changes their palette to greyish until fade. When I get there.
public override void DrawEffects(NPC npc, ref Color drawColor)
{
if (HedgePetrify)
{
if (Main.rand.Next(4) < 3)
{
int dust = Dust.NewDust(npc.position - new Vector2(1f, 1f), npc.width + 1, npc.height + 1, mod.DustType("Smoke"), npc.velocity.X * 0.1f, npc.velocity.Y * 0.1f, 10, default(Color), 1f);
Main.dust[dust].noGravity = true;
Main.dust[dust].velocity *= 1f;
Main.dust[dust].velocity.Y -= 0.1f;
if (Main.rand.Next(4) == 0)
{
Main.dust[dust].noGravity = false;
Main.dust[dust].scale *= 0.1f;
}
}
}
}
}
}you can create public int NPCdamage = npc.damage i think
I can't find a way to make that work, but thanks.
im not at pc now but i think i can make it work when i get to it

Have you tried using the hook OnHitPlayer in your GlobalNPC Class to check if your buff is active and set that hooks damage (not NPC.damage) to 0? That's probably the way to go because OnHitPlayer is called each time the enemy hits a player, and the values in the hook only affect that one hit.
public override bool CanHitPlayer(NPC npc, Player target, ref int cooldownSlot)
{
if (HedgePetrify)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
You can also just "return !HedgePetrify;"
Best part about this is I KNEW that, but I've learned SO MUCH these last two weeks that I forgot it. I use similar in the projectile to help determine what the debuff won't land on.
I don't think that the moderators like it if you share a large amount of the source code, so I had a quick look myself and it looks like you just need to set player.gravControl to True to get the gravitation buff effect.
Thank you, very much!
