virtual float GetWeight (Player player)
 Is invoked when two or more modded SceneEffect layers are active within the same Priority group to attempt to determine which one should take precedence, if it matters. It's uncommon that need to assign a weight - you'd have to specifically believe that you don't need higher SceneEffectPriority, but do need to be the active SceneEffect within the priority you designated Analogously, if SceneEffect were competing in a wrestling match, this would be how likely the SceneEffect should win within its weight class. Is intentionally bounded at a max of 100% (1) to reduce complexity. Defaults to 50% (0.5). Typical calculations may include: 1) how many tiles are present as a percentage of target amount; 2) how far away you are from the cause of the SceneEffect
 
virtual bool IsSceneEffectActive (Player player)
 
virtual void SpecialVisuals (Player player, bool isActive)
 Allows you to create special visual effects in the area around the player. For example, the blood moon's red filter on the screen or the slime rain's falling slime in the background. You must create classes that override Terraria.Graphics.Shaders.ScreenShaderData or Terraria.Graphics.Effects.CustomSky, add them in your mod's Load hook, then call Player.ManageSpecialBiomeVisuals. See the ExampleMod if you do not have access to the source code.
