Resolved [Mobile] Still confused about controls

[firethorne]

Okay, jump now works. Great.


But, some of my weapons won’t work with the right stick. Why?

For example, the pumpkin blade does swing with the right, the terra blade doesn’t. How do I assign weapons to swing with the stick?

With the Pumpkin Blade, you have aim & use enabled. With the Terra Blade it is set to aim only from the screenshot. You'll need to ensure Aim & Use is enabled to swing your weapon with the right stick.

Aim and Use is toggled by clicking the button on the bottom left near the movement stick. This Thread also shows more details regarding the controls: Mobile - Terraria Mobile 1.3 Controls: An Introduction

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, what would be the point of aiming a sword without using it?

It's mostly so that all weapons (IE Ranged, Magic) use the same system, which do need it. Though if you have a projectile weapon, like the terrablade, there is a chance you may wish to aim to projectile before swinging. It's weird I know, but it makes sense for everything to be on the same system.
