Agreed! Added to the OP under Terraria IDs
Yeah Tilesand doesn't work.
Looking at the tAPI's code, it appears the tileSand property is only used during world generation to make sure no hanging tiles are left in the air. Did not know that. Looks like your original assumption was correct. On update check if the tile below is active, if not spawn a projectile that on tile collide creates your tile.
if (Main.tile[x, y + 1] != null && !Main.tile[x, y + 1].active()) {
Main.tile[x, y].active(false);
int damage = 10; // Or whatever
int type = yourCustomProjectileType;
Projectile.NewProjectile((float)(x * 16 + 8), (float)(y * 16 + 8), 0f, 0.41f, type, damage, 0f, Main.myPlayer, 0f, 0f);
WorldGen.SquareTileFrame(x, y);
}The tiles placementOrigin is outside the bounds of the tile.
The x,y code doesn't seem to work, is there a certain reference I need?
It's refusing to work- it still crashes on loadup, thanks for the help though :3
Do you have an image for every single entity in the game? and do all of those images have the exact same name as their corresponding code?
In your tiles cs file try -
public override bool TileFrame(int x, int y) {
if (Main.tile[x, y + 1] != null && !Main.tile[x, y + 1].active()) {
Main.tile[x, y].active(false);
int damage = 10; // Or whatever
int type = yourCustomProjectileType;
Projectile.NewProjectile((float)(x * 16 + 8), (float)(y * 16 + 8), 0f, 0.41f, type, damage, 0f, Main.myPlayer, 0f, 0f);
WorldGen.SquareTileFrame(x, y);
}
return false; // Might try true as well to see which works better
}
question, how would one accomplish the whole, OnTileCollide place this block? Is it something like, tile.newTile? If so, it would be greatly appreciated if you could post the string to accomplish this
Thanks! just one more question, in the line "int type = myprojectile;" would I have to type something like "projdef.byName["my projectile"] to make it work with my custom projectile?
most likely, that's what it seems like you would need to do... there may be a different method, however
or even better, as I'm not sure that ProjDef.byname could be converted to an integer, you may just want to go into the line
Projectile.NewProjectile((float)(x * 16 + 8), (float)(y * 16 + 8), 0f, 0.41f, type, damage, 0f, Main.myPlayer, 0f, 0f);I found some code for that awhile ago on either the Tapi page or another modding help page, however it was for turning liquids into a tile when the projectile hit it, I edited it a bit, so it should work but I haven't tested it with this method of giving gravity to blocks, but here it is anyway
public override void PostKill()
{
int x = (int)(projectile.Center.X / 16f);
int y = (int)(projectile.Center.Y/ 16f);
Main.tile[x, y].type = TileDef.byName["Ardium:ScarredSand"];
Main.tile[x, y].active(true);
if (Main.netMode == 2)
{
NetMessage.SendTileSquare(-1, x, y, 1);
}
else
{
WorldGen.SquareTileFrame(x, y, true);In that case I'm not too sure, I know that code will place a tile upon the projectiles death, but I'm not sure if there is any singular line of code for spawning a tile.
Well, I may be stupid, or lazy, but is there just a way to make the projectile die when it meets your cursor? Or, if you don't know that, is there a way to make it so you can place a tile in midair?
