tModLoader Projectile heal on hit

[Saobie]

While perusing the buish magic guide for making a life fruit item i remember seeing something related to having a projectile heal you for 5 hp whenever it hit an enemy and for the life if me i cant seem to find it again. I thought the code added was player.statlife += (number) but im unsure

Any help?

Just tried this, no luck

public override void OnHitNPC(NPC target, int damage, float knockback, bool crit)
        {
            Main.player[projectile.owner].statLife += 2;   
        }

There is no projectile being called in the hit npc event so your "projectile" in your code doesn't exist

instead use this

public override void OnHitNPCWithProj(Projectile proj, NPC target, int damage, float knockback, bool crit)
{
    Main.player[proj.owner].statlife += 2;
}

you see between the brackets after the event there is a "Projectile" being called, which you can use in your code.

which you should then surround with for example this

public override void OnHitNPCWithProj(Projectile proj, NPC target, int damage, float knockback, bool crit)
{
    if (proj.Equals(ProjectileID.WoodenArrowFriendly)) {
        Main.player[proj.owner].statlife += 2;
    }
}

in which case the healing effect only works for that particular type of arrow,I'm assuming you want to add it to your own projectile so that would be

public override void OnHitNPCWithProj(Projectile proj, NPC target, int damage, float knockback, bool crit)
{
    if (proj.Equals(mod.ProjectileType("MyCustomProjectile")))
    {
        Main.player[proj.owner].statlife += 2;
    }
}

Hope that answers your question ^^
(yes it's old but it adds useful info I figured )
