Random Spawns/Redstone

[TubaRiver]

Okay before i make my attempt at recreating my new map. (I had it 80% done and when i switched to my new computer i kinda derped and thought the file would still be there.... haha nope.)

Anywho, is it possible for hunters/humans to have random spawns at set locations?
Say for example.
Humans will spawn randomly at either points;
(x:250,y:100,z:250),(x:350,y:100,z:150), or (x:150,7:100,z:50)

Next: How big of a deal would having some redstone to make something, be for the server? I know obviously we have some lag issues at times, so i don't want to make things worse. OH! and add with the redstone contraptions some tnt stuffz..... just a hint for what im going to be doing! haha

Lastly; its not a big deal to use beacons as potion effects correct? Instead of giving players the potions or having them set on the player. Yes its possible they could camp in the area of said beacon but thats why you trap the area.....

From what I know, it isn't possible to have people spawn at random locations at the moment. But it possibly could in the future? Devs?
In my experience, little redstone contraptions don't really make a big deal of lag, as long as it isn't a huge magical machine thingy, I 'think' it should be fine.
AbandonedArena has a beacon for potion effects, so i'm sure it will be fine to make one for MushroomKingdom.
Good luck :D

Hmm, as an extra hint for the redstone. I kind of have in mind rollercoaster type things... so it could require a good amount.

and this isn't for MushroomKingdom. I already know what im doing to finish that guy off! :D

Hmmkay. I'm really not that sure. But if you think it may lag the server, my advice would be don't do it
Baker93, what do you think? Obviously you know more about how much redstone will kill AoD than I do :)

Normal redstone stuff that isnt switching automaticly wont really lag the server, but will probably lag thoose who dont have the best computers.

If it is barely any constantly switching redstone, you'd need to be running a computer with the worst graphics card and 256mb of ram to get lag.

Well I lag anyway...
