Target Dummy

The Target Dummy is a decorative block that was introduced with the Warfare 1 update (1.198). It’s an interactive block for target practice with Character Weapons.

The Target Dummy is a player-sized, large grid only block made of several destructible subparts: Main body, left arm, right arm, and head. You can build a shooting gallery by attaching dummies to mechanical blocks (pistons, rotors, hinges) and have timers reverse the direction every few seconds, so that they pseudo-randomly appear and retreat behind various obstacles.

Actions

Engineer shooting at targetting dummy

This robotic target is capable of triggering optional actions when hit by bullets.

1. Access the Control Panel through the terminal on its backside.
2. Click Set Up Actions and define two actions:
   • The first action triggers every time the dummy is hit.
   • The second action triggers after the top half of the dummy has been destroyed.

Use the actions to play sounds, run scripts on programmable blocks, flash lights, move the dummy mechanically, and so on. To trigger several of these actions, put them all in a Timer Block and make the action to start or stop the timer.

Self-repair

The Target Dummy can self repair after its top half has been destroyed, so it will be ready for your next round of weapons testing.

1. For this feature, provide it with spare parts (up to 30 steel plates) through the conveyor system on its bottom side.
2. You can configure the regeneration delay so you have time to see the effect of your weapon test. By default, it regenerates after 5 secs, you can choose a value from 1 to 60 secs.

You can also disable auto-regeneration.

Limitation: It does not self-repair after non-combat types of damage, such as grinding it down. Or if you use, say, a rocket launcher and blow it up including the bottom half, it cannot recover without you welding it back together.
