virtual void	PostValidTeleportCheck (TeleportPylonInfo destinationPylonInfo, TeleportPylonInfo nearbyPylonInfo, ref bool destinationPylonValid, ref bool validNearbyPylonFound, ref string errorKey)
	Called after all checks have taken place for all vanilla and modded pylons when a teleportation request is sent (AKA when the player clicks on a pylon on the map). You can (for example) use this to allow teleportation to go through even if one the normal requirements haven't been met, or vice versa; to do this, change destinationPylonValid to true or false respectively (for the given example).

virtual ? bool	PreCanPlacePylon (int x, int y, int tileType, TeleportPylonType pylonType)
	Called right before both modded and vanilla pylons determine whether or not they can be placed. Returning false will prevent vanilla checks from taking place, forcefully preventing the pylon from being placed. Returning null will enact vanilla behavior, and returning true will make the check forcefully succeed, regardless of vanilla behavior. Returns null by default. More...

Detailed Description

Global Type that exists for pylons that allows for modification of teleportation steps, map drawing, and other functionality for any pylon that exists, whether it be vanilla or modded.

Member Function Documentation

◆ PostValidTeleportCheck()

virtual void Terraria.ModLoader.GlobalPylon.PostValidTeleportCheck	(	TeleportPylonInfo	destinationPylonInfo,
		TeleportPylonInfo	nearbyPylonInfo,
		ref bool	destinationPylonValid,
		ref bool	validNearbyPylonFound,
		ref string	errorKey
	)

virtual

Called after all checks have taken place for all vanilla and modded pylons when a teleportation request is sent (AKA when the player clicks on a pylon on the map). You can (for example) use this to allow teleportation to go through even if one the normal requirements haven't been met, or vice versa; to do this, change destinationPylonValid to true or false respectively (for the given example).

Parameters

destinationPylonInfo	The pylon information for the DESTINATION pylon.
nearbyPylonInfo	The pylon information of the pylon the player in question is standing NEAR. This value is at its defaults if validNearbyPylonFound is false, but otherwise, will give information on the nearby pylon.
destinationPylonValid	Whether or not the normal requirements were satisfied for the DESTINATION pylon. Set this to true if you want the teleportation request to succeed, false if not.
validNearbyPylonFound	Whether or not a valid pylon near the player satisfied its normal requirements.
errorKey	The localization key that will be used to sent text to the player when destinationPylonValid is false. Note that this parameter will already have a value if the method is called with destinationPylonValid being false.

◆ PreCanPlacePylon()

virtual ? bool Terraria.ModLoader.GlobalPylon.PreCanPlacePylon	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		int	tileType,
		TeleportPylonType	pylonType
	)

virtual

Called right before both modded and vanilla pylons determine whether or not they can be placed. Returning false will prevent vanilla checks from taking place, forcefully preventing the pylon from being placed. Returning null will enact vanilla behavior, and returning true will make the check forcefully succeed, regardless of vanilla behavior. Returns null by default.

Parameters

x	The current X position of where the tile in question is asking it can be placed.
y	The current Y position of where the tile in question is asking it can be placed.
tileType	The actual type of tile currently asking if it can be placed.
pylonType	The type of pylon belonging to this tile.

Note that in Multiplayer environments, this is called first on the client, and then is subsequently called & double checked on the server.
If the server disagrees with the client that the given pylon CANNOT be placed for any given reason, the server will reject the placement and subsequently break the associated tile.

◆ PreDrawMapIcon()

virtual bool Terraria.ModLoader.GlobalPylon.PreDrawMapIcon	(	ref MapOverlayDrawContext	context,
		ref string	mouseOverText,
		ref TeleportPylonInfo	pylonInfo,
		ref bool	isNearPylon,
		ref Color	drawColor,
		ref float	deselectedScale,
		ref float	selectedScale
	)

virtual

Called right before both modded and vanilla pylons draw their icons on the map. Returning false will prevent the passed in icon from being drawn on the map. Returns true by default.

Note that if you change the value of the isNearPylon parameter, the change will cascade and all pylons following this will be affected by the change.

Parameters

context	The current map context on which you can draw.
mouseOverText	The text that will overlay on the mouse when the icon is being hovered over.
pylonInfo	The pylon that is currently needing its icon to be drawn.
isNearPylon	Whether or not the player is currently near a pylon.
drawColor	The draw color of the icon. This is bright white when the player is near a Pylon, but gray and translucent otherwise.
deselectedScale	The scale of the icon if it is NOT currently being hovered over. In vanilla, this is 1f, or 100%.
selectedScale	The scale of the icon if it IS currently being over. In vanilla, this is 2f, or 200%.

◆ Register()

sealed override void Terraria.ModLoader.GlobalPylon.Register ( )

protectedvirtual

If you make a new ModType, seal this override.

Implements Terraria.ModLoader.ModType< TEntity, TModType >.

◆ SetupContent()

sealed override void Terraria.ModLoader.GlobalPylon.SetupContent ( )

virtual

If you make a new ModType, seal this override, and call SetStaticDefaults in it.

Reimplemented from Terraria.ModLoader.ModType< TEntity, TModType >.

◆ ValidTeleportCheck_PreAnyDanger()

virtual ? bool Terraria.ModLoader.GlobalPylon.ValidTeleportCheck_PreAnyDanger ( TeleportPylonInfo pylonInfo )

virtual

Called before Step 2 of the ValidTeleportCheck process. This is the second vanilla check that is called when the player attempts to teleport TO a Pylon. This method is called before both vanilla and modded pylons check their Danger requirements, and returning false will prevent those checks from taking place, forcefully failing the AnyDanger step. Returning null will enact vanilla behavior, and returning true will make the step succeed regardless. Returns null by default.

Note that it's important you put the right checks in the right ValidTeleportCheck step, as whatever one returns false (if any) will determine the error message sent to the player.

Parameters

pylonInfo The internal information pertaining to the current pylon being teleported TO.

◆ ValidTeleportCheck_PreBiomeRequirements()

virtual ? bool Terraria.ModLoader.GlobalPylon.ValidTeleportCheck_PreBiomeRequirements	(	TeleportPylonInfo	pylonInfo,
		SceneMetrics	sceneData
	)

virtual

Called before Step 3 of the ValidTeleportCheck process. This is the fourth vanilla check that is called when the player attempts to teleport FROM or TO a Pylon. This method is called before both vanilla and modded pylons check their Biome requirements, and returning false will prevent those checks from taking place, forcefully failing the BiomeRequirements step. Returning null will enact vanilla behavior, and returning true will make the step succeed regardless. Returns null by default.

Note that it's important you put the right checks in the right ValidTeleportCheck step, as whatever one returns false (if any) will determine the error message sent to the player.

Parameters

pylonInfo	The internal information pertaining to the current pylon being teleported to or from.
sceneData	The scene metrics data AT THE LOCATION of the destination pylon, NOT the player.

◆ ValidTeleportCheck_PreNPCCount()

virtual ? bool Terraria.ModLoader.GlobalPylon.ValidTeleportCheck_PreNPCCount	(	TeleportPylonInfo	pylonInfo,
		ref int	defaultNecessaryNPCCount
	)

virtual

Called before Step 1 of the ValidTeleportCheck process. This is the first vanilla check that is called when the player attempts to teleport FROM or TO a Pylon. This method is called before both vanilla and modded pylons check their NPC requirements, and returning false will prevent those checks from taking place, forcefully failing the NPCCount step. Returning null will enact vanilla behavior, and returning true will make the step succeed regardless. Returns null by default.

Note that you may also change the the default npc count value if for some reason you wish to change the default amount of NPCs required to satisfy ALL pylons (if they adhere to what value it is).

Parameters

pylonInfo	The internal information pertaining to the current pylon being teleported to or from.
defaultNecessaryNPCCount	The default amount of NPCs nearby required to satisfy a VANILLA pylon.
