Idea for the gun range!

how about noooooo

lemme guess you voted yes?

 

I think it's a good idea. There would be an open space where Zombies would spawn occasionally, and they could be wearing leather armor to simulate players.

 

then there has to be coding or something else to make the zombies spawn it is a lot simpler to have a target

 

Actually, mob spawners are relatively easy to code, and can be hooked up to redstone, I think.

 

true but redstone lag and spawners would run out of mob eggs and the mob spawning wouldn't stop if hooked up to redstone.

 

Mob spawners don't need spawn eggs. You are talking about dispensers. Also, it is possible to fill a dispenser with infinite items, using MCEdit. Also, it will not endlessly spew out mobs if you rig a redstone mechanism like those found in mob arenas.

 

mob spawners spawn in an area around it :L

 

Mob spawner behavior can be configured, such as spawn intervals, the entity spawned, etc.
Excerpt from Minecraft Wiki:
"-They can be made to spawn any kind of entity, including any mob, items, minecarts, boats, falling blocks (including falling Spawners), primed TNT, and so on.
-A single spawner can spawn multiple different entities, chosen at random from a list.
-Properties can be set on the spawned entities, such as their location, velocity, inventory, potion effects, and much much more.
-Various range and timing properties of the spawner can be altered."

 

still pretty pointless

 

I, personally, like this idea, and would like to see it implemented. The Zombies could definitely be put in using spawners, and a large-ish firing range, wider and longer than the build @xXCapzXx showed, possibly even just a room the Zombies spawn in with windows in the walls that you can shoot through.

 

Hmm this seems awesome!
Good job Capz.

 

Hmm I like this. But add something to make a zombie have like the same health as a player also make one with
Regular armor, Armor and super armor. This would be a good way to bring in more donators when they see the damage or other attributes of the weapons they are planing too buy.

 

Sure, why not? There don't appear to be any big downsides, and it livens up the range a bit!

 

I like this idea. It would definitely make the range better for testing out the guns, not just people shooting the other playrs

 

I like it. It would let players find the real damage and stuff of each gun.

 

It could be made with pressure plates so if no zombie stands on them a other one gets spawned by a command block, couldn't it?

 

Not infinite. Let's say in would be spawned 9 every half a second. In this way it would last two years.
