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.

Hmm, that build seemed to fix it, which is odd, since I specifically had CreeperHeal disabled for obsidian (I only use it to heal flesh wounds to the terrain, ie, grass). Did that build do anything else besides fix the CreeperHeal incompatibility?

Posted Aug 9, 2013@Typical_Name Do you have any other plugins running e.g. obsidian destroyer, creeper heal which may interfere? I have fixed the issue with creeperheal in this version:

Posted Aug 9, 2013I have another problem.
I'm trying to make a shot that can destroy obsidian but it's... not destroying obsidian (although if I enable RealisticExplosives for obsidian, it will still fly as debris without actually taking obsidian off of the wall).
This is the config I'm using to test it out: http://pastebin.com/hZdGSmtw
Did I do something wrong with my config, or is the superbreaker function broken?

Posted Aug 9, 2013@Typical_Name Yeah if you fire more shots then you will get more impact messages. I have to fix that. You can set the impact message in the localization to "" however it will still spam empty messages.

Posted Aug 9, 2013Whenever I fire a cannon, I get spammed with ten messages about how far the shot went and how high it was, rather than one message.
Why is it doing this? I don't recall it spamming me before I used it today... does this have to do with 1.6.2?
(The server logs show no errors related to Cannons.)
EDIT: I think I figured out why it's giving me ten messages - the shot I'm using launches ten projectiles, and it's giving me a message for each projectile that lands, rather than a message for each time I shoot the cannon. How can I fix this?

Posted Aug 9, 2013@CommodoreAlpha You can give your projectile every permission you want. Simple edit the string in the projectile design. Multiple permissions are also possible.

Posted Aug 9, 2013In order to use the "default" projectile, you need the "cannons.projectile.default" permission node. However, I don't see any other node for custom projectiles on your permissions page. Would it be something like "cannons.projectile.<AmmoName>"? If it is, you should probably add that to your permissions page.

Posted Aug 7, 2013@PhatBirds You use the default projectile? On default this projectile has superbreaker, which means it can destroy obsidian, lava and water (and maybe the anvil). Try to remove the superbreaker option from your projectile and the obsidian will be protected. However the anvil might be destroyed.

Posted Aug 7, 2013I know that this isn't really updated for 1.6.2, even though its compatible, but it seems upon shooting an anvil with obsidian under it (which is obviously blast proof) the anvil and obsidian under it are destroyed.

Posted Aug 1, 2013I corrected the issue i was having by removing the config and readding the plugin. But I Cannt seem to get creeperheal to work with the plugin, where do i set it so it will make the blocks not drop and actully reappear. Creeperheal is working with creepers and with tnt, just not cannons

Posted Aug 1, 2013@kevin1987127 You have to build a new cannon design which is basically editing the default .schematic with worldedit.

Posted Aug 1, 2013@der12panzer Your link is local. More information you can find here:
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/cannons/pages/installation-and-configuration/cannons-2-0-and-up/permissions/
Bascially you will need all there permissions (without the limits). Being OP should give you also most of the permissions.
@Mwslocum Can you describe your issue in more detail. Everything should work, with the 1.6.2, except the new items.
