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.

Posted Jun 21, 2012@Mcicraftpvp Have you check your log for any errors? Try to set 'use protection hook: false'.

Posted Jun 20, 2012@koolios12 I assume you are running faction 1.6.x? Try to update to the beta 1.7.x.
@Mcicraftpvp If no error pops up in the log you can send me your server as a .zip. I am going to check it. Have you tried to wear helmets? I think something kills the impact event. Do you have any explosion animation on the impact?

Posted Jun 19, 2012@Custergrant Have you tried to set the 'tnt' flag for the _ _ global _ _ region to 'deny'? But you are right, the plugin is only based on regions. It was the easiest thing to implement :)
@koolios12 Glass projectiles do only player damage per default. So this might be a good projectile to test. But I think your damage is canceled by a protection plugin and you get the damage from the gun. So please try to wear a helmet. If the player receives no more damage, than there is a problem. You can try to set 'use protection hooks: false'. This will solve your problem if a protection plugin makes troubles (only the newest alpha of factions works with cannons). Also have a look to you log if any error pops up.

Posted Jun 19, 2012I can't get these things to work and no matter what the configure it doesn't work. The people hit only get hurt half a heart and there is no block damage.

Posted Jun 19, 2012If I understand correctly, for WorldGuard protection, it seems to only obey region configurations, not world configurations (i.e. world block damage is ignored). Is there any fix for this?
EDIT: I'd rather have it off by default and set regions where it is allowed.

Posted Jun 17, 2012@Mcicraftpvp Only TNT or every projectile? I assume you have a protection plugin which cancels the explosion event. Do you any impact explosion or does the snowball disappear? Check also for errors in the log. With TNT there is a bug with the timefuse. Test if the error disappears in this version.

Posted Jun 14, 2012Yeah, I tried that. I was hosting a "Castle Wars PvP" server, and I was the only one who knew how to use cannons. >:) I increased TNT explosion to 5000... BOOOOOM.
