[Mod] Amount Stacking

Description

In most games with stackable inventory items you can Right click + Shift to give an amount to split your stack. In Terraria you can't, yet.

Issue

Since I don't know how to open up a new GUI window with a text field I use the chatbox as input for amount stacking.

Fixing the bug [1/2]

• Open ModClass.cs

• Add a field on top: public static int StackAmount;

• Add the next code to the switch statement in the onChat method:

                     case "amount":
                        if (StackIndex != 0)
                        {
                            var amount = int.Parse(parameter);
                            if (Main.mouseItem.type == 0)
                            {
                                Main.mouseItem = (Item)Main.player[Main.myPlayer].inventory[StackIndex].Clone();
                                Main.mouseItem.stack = 0;
                            }
                            
                            Item item7 = Main.player[Main.myPlayer].inventory[StackIndex];
  
                            if (amount > item7.stack)
                            {
                                Main.mouseItem.stack = item7.stack;
                                item7.stack = 0;
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                Main.mouseItem.stack += amount;
                                item7.stack -= amount;
                            }
  
                            if (Main.player[Main.myPlayer].inventory[StackIndex].stack <= 0)
                            {
                                Main.player[Main.myPlayer].inventory[StackIndex] = new Item();
                            }
                            Recipe.FindRecipes();
                            Main.soundInstanceMenuTick.Stop();
                            Main.soundInstanceMenuTick = Main.soundMenuTick.CreateInstance();
                            Main.PlaySound(12, -1, -1, 1);
                            if (Main.stackSplit == 0)
                            {
                                Main.stackSplit = 15;
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                Main.stackSplit = Main.stackDelay;
                            }
                        }
                        break;
  

Fixing the bug [2/2]

• Open Main.cs

• Navigate to: else if ((((stackSplit <= 1) && (mouseState.RightButton == ButtonState.Pressed)) && (Main.mouseItem.IsTheSameAs(player[myPlayer].inventory[index]) || (Main.mouseItem.type == 0))) && ((Main.mouseItem.stack < Main.mouseItem.maxStack) || (Main.mouseItem.type == 0))) around line 2806

• Add the following to the top of the inner if statement:

                                if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.LeftShift))
                                {
                                    PlaySound(10, -1, -1, 1);
                                    chatMode = true;
                                    Main.chatText = "/amount ";
                                    chatRelease = false;
                                    ModClass.StackIndex = index;
                                }
                                else
                                {
  

• And don't forget to put a } at the end of the inner if statement!
