First post here so do forgive me if these things have been posted elsewhere before.
I've personally have been aware of boulder hoiks for quite some time. Though aside from 1.3 gimmicks like killing Duke Fishron with glitch abused bolder spamming(though that was fun to see) there wasn't much we could to that wasn't just as simple novelty as letting place boulders fall from actuated trapdoor.
With the addition of the boulder statue in 1.4 we now have a way to just spawn a possibly infinite number of boulders with a 15 second cooldown per statue.
While messing around with down hoiking boulders... which was ultimately pointless given how they pick up momentum rather quickly. I had thought and while messing around quite a bit and showing off these mechanics to a friend, I wanted to try an weaponize them. I figured that if times correctly and with a short enough hoik I could bring boulders up from underground and let them roll through a moat say filled with lava. This idea came mostly because my boyfriend and I are playing on a Master Mode ForTheWorthy world and we need as much help as we can muster from the world to help us with the coming festive moons.
Notes:
-I know the wiring could be better, but I made this build with this post in mind. I wanted to have all the wiring on screen to show the idea and let it be better understood.
-Also I would like to say that my understanding of Logic Gates end at what you see in these gifs, though I want to know more >.<
-I have tested a lot to get this working and can answer question as to how some of this works if there are any questions.
-I am aware that there are also better ways of doing this, but I wanted to bring up the idea. Yes you could just have a similar or simpler array of bolder statues at either end of an arena.
The attached gifs are of my aforementioned down boulder hoik test and the second is the concept for the arena boulder firing system...thingy.
