Public Member Functions
void	AddMapEntry (Color color, LocalizedText name, Func< string, int, int, string > nameFunc)
	Overload specific: This overload has an additional nameFunc parameter. This function will be used to dynamically adjust the hover text. The parameters for the function are the default display name, x-coordinate, and y-coordinate.

void	AddMapEntry (Color color, LocalizedText name=null)
	Adds an entry to the minimap for this wall with the given color and display name. This should be called in SetDefaults.

virtual void	AnimateWall (ref byte frame, ref byte frameCounter)
	Allows you to animate your wall. Use frameCounter to keep track of how long the current frame has been active, and use frame to change the current frame. Walls are drawn every 4 frames.

virtual bool	Drop (int i, int j, ref int type)
	Allows you to customize which items the wall at the given coordinates drops. Return false to stop the game from dropping the tile's default item (the type parameter). Returns true by default. The type passed in is the item type of the loaded item with Item.createWall matching the type of this Wall. If RegisterItemDrop(int) was used, that item will be passed in instead.

virtual void	KillWall (int i, int j, ref bool fail)
	Allows you to determine what happens when the tile at the given coordinates is killed or hit with a hammer. Fail determines whether the tile is mined (whether it is killed).

void	RegisterItemDrop (int itemType)
	Manually registers the item to drop for this wall. Only necessary if there is no item which places this wall, such as with unsafe walls dropping safe variants. Otherwise, the item placing this wall will be dropped automatically. Use ModWall.Drop(int, int, ref int) to conditionally prevent or change drops. More...

sealed override void	SetupContent ()
	If you make a new ModType, seal this override, and call SetStaticDefaults in it. More...

virtual bool	WallFrame (int i, int j, bool randomizeFrame, ref int style, ref int frameNumber)
	Called whenever this wall updates due to being placed or being next to a wall that is changed. Return false to stop the game from carrying out its default WallFrame operations. If you return false, make sure to set Tile.WallFrameNumber, Tile.WallFrameX, and Tile.WallFrameY according to the your desired custom framing design. Returns true by default. More...

Public Member Functions inherited from ModBlockType
virtual bool	CanExplode (int i, int j)
	Whether or not the tile/wall at the given coordinates can be killed by an explosion (ie. bombs). Returns true by default; return false to stop an explosion from destroying it. More...

virtual bool	CanPlace (int i, int j)
	Allows you to stop this tile/wall from being placed at the given coordinates. This method is called on the local client. For tiles this is also checked during block replacement, but ModTile.CanReplace(int, int, int) should be used for replace-specific logic. Return false to stop the tile/wall from being placed. Returns true by default. More...

virtual bool	CreateDust (int i, int j, ref int type)
	Allows you to modify the default type of dust created when the tile/wall at the given coordinates is hit. Return false to stop the default dust (the type parameter) from being created. Returns true by default. The type parameter defaults to DustType. More...

LocalizedText	CreateMapEntryName ()
	Legacy helper method for creating a localization sub-key MapEntry More...

virtual ushort	GetMapOption (int i, int j)
	Allows you to choose which minimap entry the tile/wall at the given coordinates will use. 0 is the first entry added by AddMapEntry, 1 is the second entry, etc. Returns 0 by default. More...

virtual bool	KillSound (int i, int j, bool fail)
	Allows you to customize which sound you want to play when the tile/wall at the given coordinates is hit. Return false to stop the game from playing its default sound for the tile/wall. Returns true by default. More...

virtual void	ModifyLight (int i, int j, ref float r, ref float g, ref float b)
	Allows you to determine how much light this tile/wall emits. If it is a tile, make sure you set Main.tileLighted[Type] to true in SetDefaults for this to work. If it is a wall, it can also let you light up the block in front of this wall. See Terraria.Graphics.Light.TileLightScanner.ApplyTileLight(Tile, int, int, ref Terraria.Utilities.FastRandom, ref Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector3) for vanilla tile light values to use as a reference. More...

virtual void	NumDust (int i, int j, bool fail, ref int num)
	Allows you to change how many dust particles are created when the tile/wall at the given coordinates is hit. Use CreateDust(int, int, ref int) to customize the dust spawned. More...

virtual void	PlaceInWorld (int i, int j, Item item)
	Allows you to do something when this tile/wall is placed. Called on the local Client and Single Player. Note that the coordinates in this method account for the placement origin and are not necessarily the coordinates of the top left tile of a multi-tile. More...

virtual void	PostDraw (int i, int j, SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
	Allows you to draw things in front of the tile/wall at the given coordinates. This can also be used to do things such as creating dust.Note that this method will be called for tiles even when the tile is Tile.IsTileInvisible due to Echo Coating. Use the GameContent.Drawing.TileDrawing.IsVisible(Tile) method to skip effects that shouldn't show when the tile is invisible. This method won't be called for invisible walls. More...

virtual bool	PreDraw (int i, int j, SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
	Allows you to draw things behind the tile/wall at the given coordinates. Return false to stop the game from drawing the tile normally. Returns true by default. More...

virtual void	RandomUpdate (int i, int j)
	Called whenever the world randomly decides to update this tile/wall in a given tick. Useful for things such as growing or spreading. More...

override void	SetStaticDefaults ()
	Allows you to modify the properties after initial loading has completed. This is where you would set the properties of this tile/wall. Many properties are stored as arrays throughout Terraria's code. For example: Main.tileSolid[Type] = true; Main.tileSolidTop[Type] = true; Main.tileBrick[Type] = true; Main.tileBlockLight[Type] = true; More...

Member Function Documentation

◆ Register()

override sealed void ModWall.Register ( )

protectedvirtual

If you make a new ModType, seal this override.

Implements ModType< TEntity >.

◆ RegisterItemDrop()

void ModWall.RegisterItemDrop ( int itemType )

Manually registers the item to drop for this wall.
Only necessary if there is no item which places this wall, such as with unsafe walls dropping safe variants. Otherwise, the item placing this wall will be dropped automatically.
Use ModWall.Drop(int, int, ref int) to conditionally prevent or change drops.

Parameters

itemType

◆ SetupContent()

sealed override void ModWall.SetupContent ( )

virtual

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

◆ WallFrame()

virtual bool ModWall.WallFrame	(	int	i,
		int	j,
		bool	randomizeFrame,
		ref int	style,
		ref int	frameNumber
	)

virtual

If you return false, make sure to set Tile.WallFrameNumber, Tile.WallFrameX, and Tile.WallFrameY according to the your desired custom framing design. Returns true by default.

Parameters
