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 12, 2013@robmcdonald5 I added a permission node for build a cannon. However there no message if this permission is missing. Check your cannon config for cannon(s).player.build and add it as permission.

Posted Jun 11, 2013@Crysillion This complete lockdown off the cannon was unintentional. I will change it, so you can use a command to make the cannon private or public. Maybe add a list of people which can use it.
EDIT: I have tried to fixed the bug that only the owner can use a cannon. However I have no time to test it. Can you please verify if it works?

Posted Jun 10, 2013Excellent work, DerPavlov. I will investigate using this method soon.
Is there any way I make it so all cannons are not locked by default and they can't be locked, by the way?

Posted Jun 8, 2013@Crysillion Ok, finally weekend I managed to test the spawning thing. Cannons can spawn blocks as falling block. Every block should be possible here. The second method to spawn things is via spawn egg id and the entity id. 383:20 would spawn a bunch of primed tnt. However enderpearl can't be spawned that way, because bukkit does not allow it. If you want to teleport to the impact use:
cannonball:
properties:
-teleport
EDIT: Maybe I will make a separate spawn config for cannon in the future. I tried to spawn fireworks, however only plain rockets are possible. Maybe I can make a config with something more fancy.

Posted Jun 7, 2013@Crysillion At the moment I am sitting in front of a 20.000€ mikroskope which is not working. But soon as it is fixed I will test it out.

I anxiously await the results of your test. I am planning a server maintenance in about 11 hours and would like to ideally enable an Enderpearl ammunition of some kind within that maintenance.
Much appreciated, friend.

Posted Jun 6, 2013@Jarrett78 Dou you have worldedit in your plugin list, because else it would not restart. But you can send me a .zip of your plugins and I will have a look.
@Crysillion At the moment I have no time, but I will test it in a few hours.

Did some more testing. I also made sure I was not in Creative mode (because enderpearls don't work when you're in Creative). Tested with just throwing an enderpearl and it worked. I then proceeded to test adjusting the numbers to various variants, ended up with something like this: http://pastebin.com/W1Mgm5iz
But it ultimately still does not work. I adjusted the radius from 0, 1, 10, 20, as well as the amount - 1, 10, and then 20. Nothing works at all.
You say everything looks good - if you have a working config for enderpearls, could you perhaps pastebin it? It does not seem to work for me at all.
Thanks!

Posted Jun 6, 2013@Jarrett78 I hope I understand you right. It first loads the designs and projectiles, when finished it says cannons load. Thats correct behaviour.
You probably need the cannons.player.build permission. But watch out, there is a typo in the classic.yml (cannon.player.build)

Posted Jun 5, 2013@schmidti1999 I think there is a type in the config of classic.yml. It is cannon.player.build instead of cannons.player.build. So please correct that in your config.

Posted Jun 5, 2013@schmidti1999 Worldedit is required and it would not work without it. However being OP is not enough at the moment. You need the permissions in the design files of your cannon. I don't know if it is a good idea to give all permissions to an OP.
@hoorigan The teleport feature was moved to cannonball:
properties:
- TELEPORT
I need a wiki :)

Posted Jun 5, 2013Can a projectile (enderpearl for example) still be set to teleport a player to the point of impact? If so, what is the name for this effect and where in the projectile config should it be placed?
Edit: This question is for Cannons 2.0, not 1.X.

All permissions can be edited in your cannon or projectile design.
