JWMAN
Hello everyone! I am working on an epic redstone project, a working, fighting robot! It is similar to disco's Evil Santa Boss fight, make sure to check out that project. I am not finished with the project yet; if all goes well, I will have it out in about a month.
*Edit* Looks like it's been a bit more than a month!
I hope I didn't post this topic too early. The robot will basically be a large, redstone lamp face, and there will be three obsidian platforms that you jump to and fro from. The robot eyes follow you, using some mcedit magic, and when you jump on a platform, in about 4 seconds, primed TNT will spawn, forcing you to jump to a different platform. Also, when you jump on one of the platforms, fire charges will instantly shoot at you, requiring you to dodge them. Also, the robot will have emotion, and a health bar. When you shoot the robot, he will say a message, and when his health bar is at half, his smile will go away. At 3/4 of the way down, he will start to frown. I am not nearly done with the project yet, but just keep your eyes peeled. Sorry if this was a long post!
Thanks for reading,
JWMAN123
*Update*
I have named my robot! He shall be Destructotron 3000! Hope you guys like the name! I got the name from a helpful reviewer, Woody239. I also added some pictures of the spawn room, But the spawn room is certainly not done!. It's gonna look a lot cooler when I'm done with it!

Hello everyone! It's finally here, the Destructotron 3000 beta! Yeah, it's still very beta, so there will probably be some bugs, and it doesn't look nearly as cool as it would be if it was finished. But hey, it's still really-unbelievably-epic. Unfortunately (at the time of writing this), it has gotten almost no recognition whatsoever, even though I worked on it for about 8 months to a year. So some support would be hugely appreciated! Go ahead and check it out at http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/ ... ight-beta/. Also, if anyone wants to make a YouTube video for it, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
JWMAN123
P.S. I also published a really cool flush-with-the-wall, stackable fire lighting unit, so if you want to check that out, go to http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/ ... stackable/

Hello everyone! I just took another snapshot of my robot. I am super excited, the player health system is now fully functional! It can detect when you fall off a platform, and when you do, your health will decrease by one. When it reaches zero, Destructotron will say a gleeful message (only if you are in the arena), you will be teleported back to spawn, and your health will be reset to three. Anyway, enjoy the new print screen. (To view a larger version, go to the first comment on the forum thread)

Great! Thank you! What music choices do you think I should add? (Clean music, of course)
Thanks,

It looks like you just want to display one single face on the screen. Add a ROM behind your display, and you will be able to display more then one different face on the screen (an laughing one, an angry one, and so on... ) and when the health goes down, the face will become angrier and angrier.
1
Hmm, that's a cool idea, but I already kind of have that. He goes from smiling, bland face, and frowning as his health goes down. Thanks for the suggestion though! What about music choices, though? What do you think would be a good soundtrack that most people would like? (I will probably add a music picker in the spawn room) I was thinking maybe some deadmau5 would be good, especially ghosts 'n' stuff, it seems it would be a rather fitting song for fighting an evil robot.
Thanks for your input!

this looks really awsome, good luck

Thank you for your feedback! It is greatly appreciated!

amazing project, can't wait to see it finished
1
Why, thank you! By the way, I think I will be adding a soundtrack with the new /playsound command. Here's a little poll, what songs should I use for the soundtrack?
1
Yay! Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I think it's going to be pretty epic, and hopefully I'll be using some of the new features from the 1.6.1 update also, maybe a soundtrack for while you fight the robot?

Hey everybody! Today, I have another print screen for you guys! I am mostly uploading it because I want to prove I am making progress on my robot. So, here it is!
http://www.mediafire.com/?pwmixmdaw97ftdm
Also, my spawn room looks completely different, and a lot cooler. If I get enough replies, I'll upload a print screen of it also.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Ha! You guys thought I have given up on my robot, eh? NOT TRUE! OK, so, I've been REALLY busy the last month or so, and I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on Destructotron, but I most certainly am making progress. Just think of it this way, the longer I work on my robot, the more epic the map will be.
Newest features I've been working on:
Player health system
An epic level selector
A sweet player spawn
A bonus shot system for when you shoot all the pressure points in a certain amount of time
And more!
Thanks,
JWMAN123
P.S. If I get enough positive replies, I might even upload a beta version onto the forums!

Sorry it is taking so long to get the robot done. I AM MAKING PROGRESS. He's getting done, slowly but surely. I've been a bit distracted, I just got DiRT 3 and DiRT Showdown. It will be out soon, though! Hopefully in the next few weeks!
1
I can put it on my server and we could build it together
1
Thank you for your offer. Unfortunately, I have some MCEdit stuff that wouldn't work if uploaded to a server. Thanks for the offer, though!

I am working on the spawn room for Destructotron 3000, here is what I have so far.

Wow. I tested my robot last night, I got utterly pwned. lol. I'm wondering, should I have a difficulty setting? If you would like, please give your opinion below.

Hi JWMAN!JWMANI am working on an epic redstone project, a working, fighting robot!
Seems impossible. Probably fake, considering very few sophisticated people use the word, "Epic."JWMANIt is similar to disco's Evil Santa Boss fight, make sure to check out that project. I am not finished with the project yet; if all goes well, I will have it out in about a month.
Giving details related to another person's work; not taking all the credit to himself. This seems like it could be legit. This person must be dedicated, as he's only got a month left to this project. Seems like this would take a while to make.JWMAN I hope I didn't post this topic too early. The robot will basically be a large, redstone lamp face, and there will be three obsidian platforms that you jump to and fro from.
Seems interesting.JWMAN The robot eyes follow you, using some mcedit magic, and when you jump on a platform, in about 4 seconds, primed TNT will spawn, forcing you to jump to a different platform. Also, when you jump on one of the platforms, fire charges will instantly shoot at you, requiring you to dodge them. Also, the robot will have emotion, and a health bar.
Definitely legitimate. This person knows what he's talking about. Even I don't know how to use MCEdit that well. Seems like it will be fun. Not sure how the emotion would work, but the health seems like something I could understand. Yay! Smart me is smart!JWMANWhen you shoot the robot, he will say a message, and when his health bar is at half, his smile will go away.
The message part many people could do. The smile would be quite challenging, though...JWMAN At 3/4 of the way down, he will start to frown. I am not nearly done with the project yet, but just keep your eyes peeled.
Again, seems complicated. Still seems completely legitimate.(Not being sarcastic)
Also, not trying to be a smart-ass, but of course you're not nearly done. You just said you still have about a month of work left.JWMANSorry if this was a long post!
Definitely not, I've seen much longer, and even if this was long, it was still interesting to read.JWMAN
Thanks for reading,
Oh stop it, you!JWMAN
*Update*
Yay, progress! He's working on it, so it's not abandoned!JWMAN
I have now made the health bar/shooting system. It takes about 23 hits to kill the robot. Does this seem like too much? Or too little? Remember, the robot is hard to shoot. TNT pops up around you, and he is shooting flames at the platform you are standing on.
23 hits seems like a good amount. It seems like it could be quite challenging, in fact. But that's a good thing, as people like challenges.JWMANOpinions would be great!
You're welcome!
Also, if I were as skilled at redstone as you seem, after finishing the project, I would take the world, and copy it twice. Then, in one of the copies I would make it easier to win than in the original, and in the second copy I would make it more challenging to win. Then, after all 3 worlds are done and put up for download, work on combining the 3 projects into 1, with a difficulty setting. The 3 wouldn't have to necessarily be made into 1, but just have them all in the same world, with a teleport button to them.
And name it C-3PO!
Or the Destructotron 3000. (Admit it, every cool robot name has to have the number "3000" after it. )
By the way, after originally posting this reply, I realized something;
This is what a long post looks like.
Thank you very much for your extremely helpful comment! You have some great ideas, and I am greatly encouraged to keep working on the robot. I think it is quite probable that I will use your "Destructotron" name, if you don't mind. And I like the idea for the three difficulties. I might do that.
Thanks a lot!

Ive always wanted something like this. if you only make the frame, people can make it look like whatever they want

I could do that, but then it wouldn't really be a finished product.
