Game Mechanics Being able to turn off a torch by hand

[slimcognitodude]

So you know how right-clicking a torch destroys it? My suggestion is that a torch would be toggled on and off by right-clicking. Simple suggestion.

Personally, I like torches in their current way because they are easy to swap out. I don't see much difference between turning off the torch, or removing them.

I'd prefer that right-clicking destroys the torch, because there are times early-game where you want to get pick the torch back up because you're working with a limited number of them, and you want to place it somewhere else where you need the light. To that extent, I think it's more useful to quickly get rid of torches than it is to quickly turn them off and on.

That said, a way to quickly click-toggle lamps, lanterns, and other 'sophisticated' light sources would be nice.

Turning off a torch and destroying it are almost the same thing in terraria.

Maybe the devs can add a wiring mode in the settings or something which makes it so you can right-click to toggle a torch. People that do wiring a lot will benefit from this (you can make numerical displays with torches)

If you mean in your inventory, then that would be nice. If you don't, it would be horrendus.

I can see the problem when it comes to wiring. There isn't an other way to turn them off.

However, same can be said to all light sources. Maybe an apart accesorie/tool that allows you to toggle multiple devices that requires wires otherwise? Just like the actuator tool to toggle actuators.
