Would be cool to have a dedicated window for this mod where you can place summon weapons and then provide min/max amount of summons you want from each weapon. Why? Right now I have staff that can summon minion that will afflict debuff, but I want to have only 1 minion of that staff summoned and use others minions to do damage. This mod currently works perfectly fine with minions that can be summoned only once

Just a heads up, for the Fargo's mod with the children of natures eulogy staff it doesn't auto summon the five different types of summons but just the first type five times.

@do you understand? Thanks for the report! I've actually heard about this issue a couple of times recently. I’m pretty sure the Plantation Staff was working fine when I released the mod, it’s even shown working correctly in one of the showcase GIFs. Something in Calamity mod might’ve changed since then. I’ll take a look when I get a chance and see if there’s anything I can do to fix it.

The mod does not work correctly with the Plantation Staff, for some reason it summons 4 small planters when the limit is 1 planter.

@Theo I could definitely look into it, yeah. That said, I’m pretty swamped with university stuff right now, so I probably wouldn’t be able to get to it until mid-summer at the earliest. Appreciate you pointing it out though!

Been lookin' for a mod that does an auto-summon that's compatible with MrPlague's Authentic Races.
But I can't find any.

Could you maybe make this compatible with MrPlague's Authentic Races?
(the wendigo's ability despawns minions and they don't care to find out why and fix it.)

@danrich13 It’s possible you have another mod that reduces your minion capacity when you take damage. My mod doesn’t include any code that directly despawns minions one by one—Terraria itself handles that automatically when the cap is reduced. Hard to say for sure without more details, though. If you can share what other mods you’re using or how to reproduce the issue, I might be able to help more!

Hello does anyone know why taking damage will cause minions to despawn at random amounts? It doesn't seem to affect just this mod but its much more frequent when using this one.

Hey everyone,

I appreciate you reaching out about the issue with King of Constellations, Tenryu not working properly with my mod. Unfortunately, this particular summoner item is handled differently by Calamity compared to most other summon items in the game, which makes it difficult for me to implement a fix on my end.

I'll look into potential workarounds, but for now, this is a limitation due to how Calamity manages the item. Thanks for your understanding, and I appreciate your support!

there are some mult slot summons that are bugged on the calamity mod, Like 'King of Constellations, Tenryu'

"King of Constellations, Tenryu" is not called

Maybe look into how Summoners UI checks for summons as it shows correctly with that mods how many summons you have and how many more you can have.

Is there anyway you could add compatibility with signature weapons? There's a problem where when you level up a summon weapon enough it will reduce the slots needed to summon your summons. I'm not sure if it is possible or not to make it work as you would probably have to change how it checks to see if you've filled your summon spots but if it is possible that would be amazing.

@Lucky, I appreciate you taking the time to write this comment! However, at the moment, I am not actively developing mods due to real-world obligations. I'll definitely keep these suggestions in mind, and once I have some free time for modding, I look forward to revisiting them.

Ok I looked some more and I think the issue is ItemCheck() doesn't work with items that restrict their own usage in Shoot() or CanUseItem(). I'm not sure how to get around that though

I'm also struggling with summons that have a cap. For example, I have 13 summon slots. The Mutated Truffle (3 slots, 1 max) will summon 4 copies of itself. Tenryu (4 slots, 1 max) won't summon anything at all, but I can see with the summon slots mod that all slots are filled momentarily, then disappear. Void Concentration Staff (3 slots, 1 max) is the same as the Truffle.

I downloaded the source code to try fix it myself, but I couldn't figure out how exactly the item usage works (I've never modded Terraria before). I can see some Calamity weapons use CanUseItem(), but trying to utilise that gave me NullReferenceExceptions with Tenryu, and did nothing with the Truffle as that doesn't override CanUseItem(), but instead has the logic in Shoot(). I'm thinking this all ties in with how the weapons are being triggered, but I'm too tired to wrap my head around it right now.

@T4RK, Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you’re enjoying the mod. As for Ares' Exoskeleton, I probably won’t be adding support for such a unique summoner weapon, since the mod is mainly designed for more standard summoner gear.

Is it possible in the future to make it work with Ares' Exoskeleton from Calamity?

yes i needed that

hey, @Auren. glad to hear you enjoying my mod! I checked the issue with the Ruler of Constellations, and it seems like it handles summoning differently than other minions in Calamity or vanilla Terraria, which is likely why it's not summoning properly. I don't have much time to dig into it further right now, but I'll note it down for future updates. If you encounter any other issues with summoner items, please let me know which ones, and I'll take a look when I can.

I believe I'm having issues with this mod and any calamity summon that doesn't stack. Specifically I just tried ruler of constellations and I cannot summon at all, manually or otherwise. I disabled this mod and was able to use the summon. I've been quite enjoying this mod so far, it's been super convenient especially considering an issue I've been having with Authentic races.

Thank you, @Raisvan, for the report and the positive feedback on my mod! I appreciate you bringing the issue with the Dormant Brimseeker to my attention. Unfortunately, I only had this one month for mod-making, so I'm unsure when I'll have free time again. However, I'll definitely keep this in mind for any future updates. Thanks again!

in calamity there is a weapon called Dormant Brimseeker it drops from brimstone elemental and its active aura does not work because when you press lbm your summons are re-summoned it would be great if you could somehow fix this, but otherwise a great mod

thats great to hear cheers

Hey @OSLO,

I'm developing a new system that assigns a column in your inventory for auto-summoning instead of using a hotbar slot. This allows you to partially mix minions and still choose any other slot for a summoner item without it necessarily occupying a hotbar slot.

can u please add more slots to be configured and beyond the 10 slot

@BomberNub,

The mod supports summoning as many minions as your character has summon slots, including more than 10. If you encounter a bug where this is not the case, please provide more details so I can test it and try to fix it.

а можно как нибудь призвать больше 10 за раз?

It certainly is a pain dealing with multiple summons. For example, using one summon that is limited in how many you can have, and filling the remaining slots with another summon. I have to spam the limited summon item for ages before it finally is not overridden by other summon by the mod.

Hi @Zauberin Stardreamer,

Thank you for your suggestion! I appreciate your creativity and the time you took to share your idea.

But for now, my goal with this mod is to keep it simple and easy to use. While your idea of handling multiple summons through a specific inventory row is interesting, adding such functionality might complicate the mod for many users.

I believe maintaining simplicity is key to ensuring the mod remains accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I value your feedback and will keep it in mind for future updates.

So, one idea for handling multiple summons.

Try assigning a specific row in inventory, and it will try to summon every -favorited- minion in sequence, and will optionally try to fill the remaining minion slots with the last minion in the sequence.

Or alternatively, a specific row in one's piggy bank, safe, or defender forge.

I would agree :D

Good mod for auto summon 😄

@031 I'll take a look in to fixing it. Thanks for the report.

theres a bug for me, when i try to use the "Stardust Dragon Staff" it crashes my game :(

Oh the cringe begging gif, disliked

💖

This mod is good, should've been in vanilla terraria.

Hey, @Teru, absolutely. I'll try to get it done either today or tomorrow. I'm thing of maybe adding some sort of auto detection for now and maybe later on some configuration window as a long term solution.

would it be possible to change slot detection from 10 to any other on your hotbar?

Hey, @Antibody,

Minion mixing would require a custom UI to enable mixing, which is beyond my current expertise. This mod is meant to be lightweight and easy to use, but I plan to look into this in the future. Meanwhile, try LAN's Auto Summon mod for similar features.

Thanks for the suggestion!

can you make it work when minion mixing?

The mod works, though the description could use some work

Works flawlessly
