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 Feb 4, 2013@Acoustic1 Do you use the latest Cannons Beta or v1.9.4. ? Check if you there are no missing blocks for the cannon (black wool, 2 buttons, torch) and if you have the permission to use a cannon (there should be a message if you have no rights). You can send me also your plugin folder and I can check it if you can't find the problem.

Posted Jan 22, 2013@Archc Its obviously a bug, because the block placement should be canceled and the placed block disappears. But you use the beta cannons version or the latest stable? Can be also a problem with the latest bukkit version.

Posted Jan 22, 2013When i load a block in a cannon the block stays on top the cannon and the plugin removes an additional item from my inventory but if i just have one block in my inventory i can retrieve the block and fire unlimited times

Posted Jan 20, 2013@deamonzz Hm, I have changed the id for cannon blocks. So it might be confusing if you didn't delete the config, because there are old entries. Therefore try to build a cannon out of black wool. Can you host your pluginfolder and send it via pm to me. It makes testing much easier for me.

Posted Jan 14, 2013@deamonzz Which version of cannons and bukkit are you using? Have you placed all blocks (buttons, torch, black wool)? It should give you at least a message when you are not able to build a cannon.

Posted Jan 8, 2013Set cannons as a trap for unpleasant guests. Took me forever to build this house.

Database implementation seem to be quite stable. Spout custom item support is also done. Next thing is intensive testing since I changed a big part of cannons to make it possible. Feel free to test the new version and post your bug reports.

Posted Jan 6, 2013Hi, guys. The weekend is over, but I am quite happy that I can present you the first cannons (test) version with database. It works with ebeans, so if you are not happy with the default sqlite database, edit your bukkit.yml (I am going to write a few lines about this). My first test was a tripware/cannon combination. Walk through the door and a barrage of bullets welcomes you. I died several times while testing. This was one of the first things I wanted to implement with cannons, so I am quite happy it is possible now. Feel free to test my alpha version below. But be aware, that it is not perfect and needs more testing. If you find a error/bug or an unexpected feature please post a comment.

Next thing is the spout item implementation. I already started with this but it was not enough time to finish it.
