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 Mar 3, 2013@JlJlJl After a few hours programming, I have implemented signs to cannons. The original idea is from Cowboy1919 and I have adopted it. You can now place a sign on a cannon and it will store the information on the sign. When the sign is moved, I can update the cannon location. Give me a few more hours, to finish the version.
Setting the penetration of a canistershot to 1 or 2 should destroy blocks. There are more cannon designs planed for the future, that allows completely custom designs. You build a cannon and define its properties.

Posted Mar 3, 2013And would be great if you create different types of cannons (classic cannons, culevrins and mortars). By changing material or/and length. For example: culevrins is makes of 4 blocks of gray wool, classic cannons is makes of 3 block of dark wool, mortars is makes by 2 iron blocks. And different loading, cooldown, accuracy, range, progectiles which can be loaded into certain type(s) of cannon(s), minimal and maximal degrees (mortars is aiming from 45 to 90 degrees only (configurable)). If you will create it all with moving plugin, it would be great!!!))) I can help you with algoritm, programming and money)))
Sorry for bad English)))

Posted Mar 3, 2013Hello, thank you for answer!!!))) Me need to correct any details:
1) Yes, I know when block of cannon moves it is resets.((( But if you create integration to moving plugin (or make your OWN), this bug will be solved)))
2) Can you to make config (for each projectile): opportunity cannistershots to break block=(true or false)?
4) Do you have facebook, skype, ICQ? (to pm)

Posted Mar 3, 2013@JlJlJl Hello, I am going to try to answer your questions:
I am going to look into the code now, maybe I send you a test version in a few minutes - be prepared :)
EDIT: Cannistershot and every projectile with penetration <= 0 will no longer break blocks.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16404245/Beta/Cannons.jar
EDIT2: Penetration behaviour is also updated. It should work better if the projectile hits with an angle of incidence of more than 10°. Also the amount of penetrated blocks is now calculated probably.

Posted Mar 2, 2013Hello, author! I love your plugin, but I have some problems:
1) If I load gunpowder with projectile and move ship сannon (gunpowder, projectile and aim) becomes reset. Can you make an integration to plugin "ships"? (Do you can create plugin which makes ships move? I can to tell you algoritm of this mechanism.)
2) How to make cannistershot don't break any blocks?
3) Do you speak russian?
4) Can I help you?

Posted Mar 1, 2013@twetwetwetwe Have you tried to delete the config. Stop and restart the server. If you can only load cobblestone, the plugin has problems to read the config. But I can't verify this problem.

Posted Mar 1, 2013@twetwetwetwe Hm, so many comments. Lets do it step by step.
I believe your config is outdated, so it can't find any projectile. So the plugin allows only cobblestone. I hope this helps.
