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.

I think, you set big speed and projectile just flies away from players and don't updates by server. In next update it will be fixed.
@twetwetwetwe

Setting piercing damage (penetration ) to 10 does no damage, flys straight through upto 10 blocks as expected, so I presume the problem is with the actual explosion itself.

Posted Apr 6, 2014@GodsDead There was a problem with the piercing damage, that it can't be canceled. But that should be fixed in 2.1R3. Can you try to set the penetration of the cannonball to 10 and see if the problem occurs more often?

I run GriefPrevention 7.8, Other Explosions is protected, alas no fix. It only does part damage over a period of quite a few cannonballs.

Posted Apr 5, 2014There's a bug where sometimes a place gets glitched and you can't create a cannon there.
No matter what you try or how you place it, when you put the wool, buttons and torch no cannon is made.

Posted Apr 2, 2014@novikovph This means the area of impact was protected by a plugin e.g WorldGuard, GriefPrevention,.... You have to allow 'other-explosion' for the area to make cannons working.
Sorry for the long delay. I was on vacation.

Posted Mar 19, 2014@GodsDead I tested Cannons v2.1 R3 with CB 1.7.2-R0.2 and GriefPrevention 7.7 (default settings) with a cannon above sea level. That seems to works. But I am really no expert for GriefPrevention.

I am running R: Cannons v2.1 R3 for CB 1.7.2-R0.2 Jan 23, 2014 (latest) with the problem.
Or do you mean a dev build as the latest?

Posted Mar 17, 2014@jacob_vejvoda Ok, I will check that. Thanks for the information.
EDIT: I verified it and it is not working when you place the cannon by clicking on a different block than a cannon block. If you click the cannon with the torch it should work.
@GodsDead I tested it and it is working with the latest version. Can you verify this?
@samus1221 Yeah that would be great if they can upload everything. Any ideas?

Posted Mar 15, 2014You need to make a place where people can upload the cannons/projectiles they make. So people can download them.

Posted Mar 14, 2014I have a majour problem with cannons bypassing griefprevention claims somehow, Its not doing full damage, it takes about 4 shots with the normal cannon to take out a block, so griefprevention is doing some protection, here is my GP config. http://pastebin.com/eFpK2001

Posted Mar 13, 2014Yes, but I am getting problems with building cannons. Sometimes seemingly randomly when I place the last torch nothing happens, no mater what I do it won't become a cannon. Then I try else-ware and it works.

Posted Mar 13, 2014@jacob_vejvoda Creating a projectile is very easy. Copy one of the projectiles in Cannons/projectiles and edit the loading item. If you add this projectile (file name) to the 'allowed projectile' of your cannon you are done.
For a new cannon you have to build it first and store it as .schematic Cannons/designs. Add a new .yml file and your are done.
Here you can more information. http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/cannons/pages/tutorial/
@robotnikthingy I have finished the API for rotation and translation (and firing), thanks to JIJIJI, the developer of iSail. However there is still parts missing for loading and aiming.

Posted Mar 12, 2014Actually, can I just go back to the old version where you can load lots of stuff and build the cannons longer than 3 blocks? Is the old version like that that works in 1.7?
