Cannons
What can it do?
Cannons is a highly configurable plugin which allows you to fire block build cannons. It is possible to aim and load different amounts of gunpowder to hit targets at different ranges. The power of redstone makes it possible to set the gun to auto load and activate the rapid fire mode. Choose your projectile from a broad spectrum of cannonballs and smash the enemy.
With Cannons 2.0 you are also able to design your own cannons using .schematic files and give each cannon their own settings, as well as different types of projectiles.
Features
- Build a cannon out blocks
- Design your own cannon and save it as .schematic
- Design and fire different projectiles to smash your enemy
- Use redstone to fire guns from distance
- Rapid fire with auto-load possible
- Destroyed blocks can be restored with CreeperHeal (if 'custom' option is true)
- Cannons will stay load and aligned due to the database
- Movement plugins (e.g. Movecraft) are supported if a cannon has a sign to store a tag
- API for ships plugins (e.g. iSails) to use cannons on ships without signs.

Yes, Cannons does appear in the list and it is in green.

When you do "/pl", does Cannons appear on the list? If it appears, is it in red text or green text?
If Cannons isn't on the list, it's probably not even installed, or for a bizarre reason, CraftBukkit just misses the .jar file entirely, which should never happen. If it IS on the list, but it's in red text, it didn't start up properly.

Posted Jan 22, 2014@rasnyderiii Only block penetration seems to make a problem. I will figure this out.
EDIT: Fixed the problem. I will release it as soon as possible.

Yup, from our testing it seems the person who built the cannon gets a message if you try to load more gunpowder when it's full.
So far, I've just seen that and the destroyed message, so it may just be that one, but we are still checking to make sure there aren't others.

Posted Jan 14, 2014@Eidalac You should not get a messages if someone loads a cannon which you created. Only the player operating the cannon should get notified. However if one of your cannons is destroyed, then you will get a message, no matter where you are.
If there are messages which are send to the wrong player (or to many), please let me know.

Posted Jan 13, 2014While testing, I notice that if you are the one who completes the cannon, it seems you are the only one to get messages about it, even if you are far away (in another world).
The player firing may be getting the message as well, I'm waiting on my players to get back to me with that detail, but it seems a bit odd that I'm getting the messages when someone is putting too much gunpowder in some random cannon.
I'd prefer if only the person loading/firing gets that, or at least make it configurable.
Assuming your code will support that, of course.

Posted Jan 11, 2014@nullschrittWhat protection plugin do you use. Since tnt is handled different than a cannons explosions, one might be blocked. There should be a message for the impact: "Impact act x,y,z but the area is protected. Can you check also the log if there any errors?

When my cannons impact a target, no damage is done, even though I've made sure the projectile config for cabblestone is set to do damage. (other explosions still work)

Posted Jan 8, 2014it works, if you wish to see the catapult or the ballista go here

just as a fyi the levers are supposed to be torches, it is like this so people cant use these ones as they are in the spawn tutorial.
I also have to say I really like this plugin, and wish you the best of luck to its development, I highly believe that this plugin could become the next factions so to speak. (by this I mean get really really huge)

Posted Jan 7, 2014But wouldnt that make it so they dont need to load the arrow, making it infinite shots all round, or just infinite gunpowder.
And the defualt is the one in the schematic right?
