Lol, sorry, do you want me to add you on Xbl? I have a Restone world that has all the necessary equipment.

And I want the repeater to fire as fast as possible.

I'ma be home in like 2 hours. If you don't get your answer by then I got you.

Does work fires 8 arrows if the signal is on & pauses for 2 ticks then fires another 8 in a row, wouldn't have posted the images if it never worked.

I haven't tried exactly what you posted there but I have used a clock before and it didn't work. Anyway, I'll be on Live later.

I also do not have any sticky pistons on my redstone world, I will try that out when I get the chance.

You could make the same design without a sticky, just use a sand block in front of the redstone repeater and have the regular piston push it up when activated. When the pressure plate is not on, the piston would retract and the sand would fall back down creating the same effect without a sticky piston involved.

But you should really get sticky pistons ASAP. Most of the more complicated designs use those, and there isn't always a way around that as there was in this specific instance.

Well I just connected a deadly dispenser to my clock and it works perfectly. Fires arrows very quickly.

A 1 clock doesn't last long, I know that. And all clocks seem to fail eventually, except slower ones that are just needed for shift registers to make branching more efficient. Even the 3-tick repeater clock I had would get "stuck" every once in awhile, til I threw an inverter into the the loop. And it wasn't even doing anything complex, it just makes the torches I put on my chests flash to make my friends trip out.

My clock is very compact and doesn't burn out you can also turn it on and off

Just tried it, the clock does not work. It activates allthe repeaters at once and only activates the dispenser once.

I got the clock to work once at two ticks but it doesn't work consistantly or anthing...

By the way I place a torch down to activate it.

Wow, I figured out the issue.... You need to remove the torch extremely quickly, thats why.

If none of these answers help, add me when you get on.

I got'chu.

Warning, my method isn't very compact but i didn't design it to be, i just wanted it working for you. We can condense it if you can identify it it's how fast you want it to shoot.

Okay, so working on a clock that wouldn't burn out and still shoot arrows quickly, I chose this layout. Once again, it's not compact, but I want to make sure you approve of it's use first.

It was also designed with the intention that you wanted the arrows to shoot fairly quickly. (Anything completely full fire burned out I noticed, so I had to make it slightly slower)





Notice the Redstone torch next to the dispenser. The dispenser MUST be fully powered from a different source other than the clock (just place a torch or lever next to it to power). This is very important to this design (as it won't work without it) and ensures that dispenser shoots quickly.

The repeaters you may adjust to change how quickly the arrows will shoot. It's not directly proportional nor do they shoot completely steady (except on maybe 2 or 3 different settings) but it does shoot quickly and rapidly nonetheless.

I stood on the pressure plate for a full 5 minutes, and the clock did not burn out. I did not design an "Off/On" switch yet because I want to make sure it works for you, so it will most likely burn out when you reload the world. But I'd be happy to make some adjustments if it works for you.

Lemme know!

I did not, will do so right this second. I'll let ya know.

Did you test out my one, its a simple small clock plus the added pulse from the pressure plate so 2 sources of power going to the dispenser.

I tried yours, did not work. It activates once and the repeater hitting the dispenser fails to power it again. The pressure plate keeps the power active.Okay I fixed your design. Might be because we are on Xbox and it looks like your one PC, but something must be changed.

Your design is MUCH better than mine, I give you that. I'll post the picture of the changes in just a moment.

This is how it must look.

Just like in Fayzed picture, the top left most repeater must be set to 2. (1 will burn it out, 3 and 4 will make it shoot slower if you want)

My original design shoots quite a bit faster, but this design is much more compact. Up to you OP, but his contraption is less space.

The problem was leaving the Redstone torch to activate the clock for more then a single tick will break it. Removing it within a tick will make it work perfect.

I actually had the same issue (pressure plate to keep dispenser firing). Mine doesn't fire very fast, but it has a very compact design to it. I'll outline it here, but if you can't understand the following design (can't take a picture), then add me on xbox live (Septic_Tank53) and i'll show you mine in-game as well as how fast it fires.

P
B_BT _BT _
_ ___D
_R_

P = pressure plate : it's placed on top the block
B = Block (I use cobblestone, not sure if that matters tho)
_ = Redstone wire
T = Redstone torch (hooked up to side of blocks)
D = Dispencer

Its a really compact design, but it doesn't fire in volleys nor super fast. It's good enough for my design since the enemies fall through a trapdoor into a compact room. Again, if the above Text-based graph is hard to understand, add me on xbox live and i'll show you my design
