tModLoader Trouble coding accessories to have the effects of other accessories

[F5Astronine]

Part of the goal for my mod is to improve quality-of-life in some way, and I'm trying to make an accessory that combines the effects of the Charm of Myths and the Star Veil. I am having trouble finding how I can code this, however, as after examining Terraria's source (mainly Player.cs), there appear to be no bool values in place for the Star Cloak or any of its upgrades.

Here are the initial reload error and coded effects for said accessory if needed (lines 27-30 were copypasted directly from Player.cs):

If anyone knows what I'm talking about and is able to assist me, please do. I seriously have no idea what I'm doing.

find the buffs that are applied when using them and then use player.UpdateEquip or UpdateInventory and apply those buffs through Player.AddBuff

No idea what any of this means, today is my first day working with tModding and with C# altogether. Apologies if I'm wasting your time

I'm not sure about the buffs part, but the error you're getting indicates that the compiler has no idea what currentItem is. It's not defined in the context of your code.

I'm aware, I just don't know how I can make it recognise a currentItem in already existing Terraria code, or how I can create my own.

you could use the using Terraria; to clone defaults of the cloak and charm of myths.

And how would I clone these defaults...? Apologies

I used the accessory effect example to help me, but was not effective, as the example I was given with the Magma Stone uses a bool value, whereas the Star Cloak and its upgrades do not use any bool values. Really struggling to find answers to anything from anyone or anything here. Sorry...
