You can inspect decompiled code, but be wary: it's a mess when decompiled. The recommended decompiler is ILSpy. Also be wary: decompiling can take a long time and most likely freezes your computer.
In your CelestialFuryProjectile class you're overriding the Autoload hook but you're not returning a bool (true/false)
I... Um... I have no idea what you just told me to do... but okay.
Then you should consider learning C# a bit before attempting to mod.
I don't think you quite understand what I was telling you to do. You can say you don't have 'time' to learn c#, but you have no choice. You will make errors like these all the time, and I doubt anyone else here has the time to hold your hand all the time. There are plenty of articles, videos, etc. for you to get a grip on c#, it's not like the basics will take months, rather a few hours. You just replaced the entire method with 'mod.Autoload', that is not what I said you should do.I would do that, but, I don't really have the time to learn a lot about C#
But if I did have the time, I would willingly take your advice.
Ok, I figured out what you meant by that (it was incredibly simple.)
But now that I've changed:
public override bool Autoload(ref string name, ref string texture)
To
mod.Autoload
It now gives me this error:

(The end-of-file error I've tried to fix but nothing that has usually worked from me has worked this time.)
Here is my code:
Code:using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using Terraria; using Terraria.ModLoader; using Terraria.ID; namespace MyFirstMod.Projectiles { class CelestialFuryProjectile : ModProjectile { public override void SetDefaults() { projectile.name = "Celestial Fury Projectile"; projectile.width = 48; projectile.height = 48; projectile.friendly = true; projectile.melee = true; projectile.tileCollide = true; projectile.penetrate = 3; projectile.timeLeft = 200; projectile.light = 1f; projectile.ignoreWater = true; } mod.Autoload { projectile.rotation = (float)Math.Atan2((double)projectile.velocity.Y, (double)projectile.velocity.X) + 1.57f; } } }
All you really need to do if you want to do one or the other is just add the ID of the projectile to your weapons' "shoot" variable. However if you want it to do two at once, you might want to look at the Shoot() hook for your weapon. You can find some help in my tutorial.
You know, because of this line ArrowsOfDeath doesnt count as ammo for bows. After deletion it works fine. I am not sure why it doesnt counted as ammo for bows tho.
Most likely because you did not assign it to the right ammo ID, which is 1.
If you are expecting to change the dust color of an existing projectile, you cannot, you will have to make your own projectile with the dust you desire.
Show us the code please? The most likely case is that you forgot to put the header items in the code.
Sure thing, i completely forgot to input the code. I had it in my clipboard and everything hear you go!

}Yeah, you were forgetting some headers, I recommend recycling headers, as it shouldn't take too much to load in all headers even if you don't use them. I usually keep this above almost all my code when I mod just to make sure I don't forget anything...

Yeah i understand now thanks!These are called using directives. So for further explanation: this is so the compiler knows where the stuff you are calling is coming from
1. Depends on your projectile, use
projectile.rotation = 0;projectile.rotation = (float)Math.Atan2((double)projectile.velocity.Y, (double)projectile.velocity.X) + 1.57f; //1.57 = pi/2, or 90 degreesWell, depending on what AI style you are using, a simple way to make a quick flicker of light would be using a counter and have the projectile have light for a certain amount of ticks then disable it, so it should look something like this
public override void AI()
{
projectile.ai[0] += 1f;
//If the counter is less than a tenth of a second
if(projectile.ai[0] < 6)
{
projectile.light = 0.1f; //shine light
}
else
{
projectile.light = 0f; //Don't shine light if its more than a tenth of a second
}
}
