Hello. I recently got MC360 and have been playing around with it for a while. Ive noticed that there seems to be an issue with dispenser traps. I cant get it to do more than drop TnT or Anvils as a dropped item. I know for a FACT that TnT cannons often use Dispensers and ACME traps are rigged to drop an anvil. So why isnt it working on XBOX? I'm just getting a spit out otiem. And fire charges wont launch either. Has this not been implimented yet?

Fire Charges should work, but without sound; the others aren't in the game yet.

TnT and Anvils don't get placed as a block when they get dispensed..

Anvils can never be placed via dispensers, but primed tnt will be dispensed in the next update

As a 'placed' block, an Anvil wouldn't 'fall' if it was dispensed from a dispenser as you suggest. Primed TNT would, but this won't likely be updated on the consoles until the Dropper in introduced (should be the next update). The original idea of the dispenser was to 'dispense' items, not to release/capture water/lava, fire arrows, prime TNT and drop it, etc. but as these MODs got implemented and incorporated into the dispenser, there came to be a need for a new type of dispenser to just 'dispense' items, hence the arrival of the dropper. Once the Dropper is in place, there will be more freedom to play around with additional dispenser functionality (it has been suggested to also use it as an animal feeder, a seeder/planter, and more).
