Is the Line tool accessible on Mobile?
-
I'm an Android User on Powder Toy, and I've been struggling on how the Fan works. According to the desc, you control it with a Line tool. I've tried the Streamline, but it doesn't work. Is this "Line tool" only on PC or am I just an idiot who doesn't know where it is?

Line tool is only a thing on PC, that's why it doesn't work. I'd like to eventually add line tool to Android, but I don't see it happening any time soon.
It does work if you plug in a keyboard and hold shift, though. But you typically can't do that on Android.Edited once by jacob1. Last: 22nd Jun 2019 -

You can but its hard.
You should download smth like "Hackers keyboard", then set it as primary. Enter TPT, click the "recerent apps" button on your device and then enter TPT again. The keyboard will appear and you will be able to use SHIFT/CTRL.
Or else you can create custom element to make lines/floodfill/squares (using tpt.input and two elements or event.register)

I won't use hacker's keyboard, the interface is old and also doesn't work well.
If you really want to use the keyboard on your android, use an USB otg adapter and attach a physical keyboard, also i guess with a USB HUB iyou can use both mouse and keyboard (haven't tried it though).

Not everybody have extra physical keyboard, and even more the adapter for it. My solution works even without any unusall things.
If you have keyboard and mouse, you probably have PC and its much easier to play on PC than on tablets/mobiles.

There are smaller keyboards just for Android devices :P

Using fan seems a bit of challenge on mobile devices, since few mobile devices have a shift key.

I have a good idea on how we should add a line tool for IOS, we could do a pinch control for it, pinching out diagonally, horizontally and vertically. Pinching in decreases the size. It would be the perfect way to make the line tool for mobile.
