Exporting player animation sheet?

[Saobie]

So im quite new to modding. iv made a few weapons and bosses, all pretty basic (i have an issue with worm entities body segments not being connected but whatevs)

I decided ill try to make a small, fleshed out mod based on what i know how to do. And part of this was to add an npc

However, im pretty bad at animation, and editing an existing npc sprite to look how i want would not be something im good enough to do

So i was wondering, is it possible to export a players animation sheet. As in, equip stuff to my character that i want my npc to have, and export the file so i have an npc animation sheet equipped with the stuff i want

You will have to export it as a xna char/ent file. Look up modding for terraria.

So if I where to reword your sentance, you want to be able to expert your char loadout and make it a npc? And your woundering if it's possible?

Basically yes. I want a spreadsheet of how my character looks, so i can use that sheet as an animation for a custom npc

It is posible, but there is no practical method to do so, as, the player files unlike npc/mob files does not contain a "spreadsheet" of the charactor nor the animation but rather a set of hex strings (True/False) that tells the terraria how your char is surposed to look, and what items it has. (It's like a config file)

The spreadsheet of the chars are either f/m with the intergers that tell them apert.

I suggest you find/make it in pixle editor and move it to your core app.

I dont have the skill to do that. Im not very good at animation (half decent at making sprites though). It was worth an ask though, thanks anyways

Sure is. I cant get a lot of things to work how i want them to

The FriendlyNymph npc i made goes invisible for a frame at the end of her framecount and idk why. any worm entity i make, its body segments dont physically connect, the vector bolt tome i just made, its projectile is guided but veeeery lightly and not as much as i wanted

Fml lol
