tModLoader (WIP) Mod coding

[Darkninja]

Hey guys, so... I know a lot of Mod makers or beginner mod makers have problems with coding.
I know what you are thinking, there's already coding tutorial threads, but this is more like the IDs of mods.
For example, item.useAnimation or projectile.aiStyle, they ( I mean some of them) don't know what to put for it. I know this because i did had problems with those.
So please comment all of the IDs you guys know and i'll do my best to put it all here.

Spoiler: Basics

[*]If you are using some recipe from vanilla Terraria you have to use Put using Terraria.ID at the top.
[*]To add a vanilla recipe put ItemID.(RecipeName) don't put the parenthesis. example recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.DirtBlock);
[*]To add a Mod Recipe put (null, "RecipeName", Number); only put ,number if it's more than 1. example recipe.AddIngredient(null, "Example", 2);

First of all, the ItemID's can be found here (same story for the projectile aiStyles, which can be found here).
Other than that, I don't think you actually mean 'item.useAnimation' since this will only determine how long the animation should take to complete (item.useAnimation = 20 will result in an animation that takes 1/3 of a second to complete). You'll probably want item.useStyle to be specified:

useStyles:
1. General throw/swing animation (sword, throwing items, etc.).
2. Eating (potions and the sorts).
3. Stabbing (shortswords).
4. Holding item above head (some tomes and the sorts).
5. Holding item in front (mainly spears and some other items, I'm sure).

You also stated 'To add a Mod Recipe', which isn't really the fact. It's adding a mod item TO the recipe, which is why the function is called 'AddIngredient' instead of 'AddRecipe'. You also don't have to use ItemID. You can also just put in the integral IDs of the items (which will make it more difficult to read, but just wanted to notify you that there are more ways to go about this). This means you can do 'recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.DirtBlock);' but also 'recipe.AddIngredient(2);'.
