Public Attributes

bool active
 If true, the Entity actually exists within the game world. Within the specific entity array, if active is false, the entity is junk data. Always check active if iterating over the entity array. Another option for iterating is to use Main.ActivePlayers, Main.ActiveNPCs, Main.ActiveProjectiles, or Main.ActiveItems instead for simpler code.
 
int direction = 1
 The direction this entity is facing. A value of 1 means the entity is facing to the right. -1 means facing to the left.
 
int height
 The height of this Entity's hitbox, in pixels.
 
bool honeyWet
 
bool lavaWet
 
int oldDirection
 
Vector2 oldPosition
 
Vector2 oldVelocity
 
Vector2 position
 The position of this Entity in world coordinates. Note that this corresponds to the top left corner of the entity. Use Center instead for logic that needs the position at the center of the entity.
 
bool shimmerWet
 
Vector2 velocity
 The velocity of this Entity in world coordinates per tick.
 
bool wet
 The Entity is currently in water.
Projectile: Affects movement speed and some projectiles die when wet. Projectile.ignoreWater prevents this.
 
byte wetCount
 
int whoAmI
 The index of this Entity within its specific array. These arrays track the entities in the world.
Item: unused
Projectile: Main.projectile
NPC: Main.npc
Player: Main.player Note that Projectile.whoAmI is not consistent between clients in multiplayer for the same projectile.
 
int width
 The width of this Entity's hitbox, in pixels.
