Switch Using hammers as weapons... without hammering walls and tiles.

[Onychophora]

Hello!

I am enjoying terraria on the Nintendo Switch for the moment. I want to use a hammer (specifically the rockfish) as my primary melee weapon, but swinging it always makes it break background walls or create half-blocks and slopes. I guess you can sometimes avoid it by turning off the smart-cursor, but since I cannot move my cursor outside my hammer's range it will always have the potential to break walls or create slopes. This is especially frustrating in or near my house. Is there any way to avoid this entirely?

Well, it’s a hammer, and it’s doing it’s job. Try a different weapon

Yes, I see your point, and thanks for your reply. However, I would argue that there are hammers meant to be used as weapons, for example the hammush and the chlorophyte warhammer. Although I haven't tested these on the Switch myself, I see no reason to assume they work differently.

Sucks to suck
Make sure your arenas don’t have walls then. And why would you use a Chlorophyte Hammer, of all things? When you can get a Chlorophyte Shotbow, Yelets, Light discs and the mighty Megashark?
