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 Aug 23, 2013Hey, ich habe versucht den block 112 unbreakable zu machen. Jedoch werden immer 1-2 blocks zerstört. Penetration des Projektils hab ich auf 0 und -1 gehabt, jedoch wird genau so viel zerstört. Einzig die power auf 1 stellen hilf allerdings zerstört es nun gar nichts mehr. Ist das ein bug?
As I don't know if you're german or not I'll also write it in english. I tried to make the block ID 112 unbreakable in the config.yml however 1-2 blocks are always getting destroyed. Setting the penetration of the projectile to 0 or -1 didn't help either. The only setting that changed the behaviour was the power but on "1" it just simply doesn't destroy anything. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Posted Aug 21, 2013@daPoseidonGuy I tested everything my server and it works for more than 100 cannons. Why can't you make more than 2 cannons. Is there any message or log file entry?
The fix to the flint problem is described below. Go the main config/tools/firing item and change '259:0' to '259:-1'.

Posted Aug 21, 2013@daPoseidonGuy This with the firing item it very interesting. In the 'main config' file of cannons you have a list with all tools which are used for cannons. Try to set the datavalue of flint and steel to -1 ('259:-1'). I hope this helps.

Posted Aug 19, 2013@daPoseidonGuy You have to make a new cannon design. If you check your cannons/designs folder you see a classic.schematic. Copy this to worldedit/schematics and load your server. Ingame you can now type '/schematic load classic' to load the schematic and '/paste' to place the cannon. Edit this cannon and save it again with '/copy' and '/schematic save CANNONNAME'. Check also if you have selected everything with your wooden axe and no part of the cannon is missing.
The default permissions to load a cannon is cannon.player.load (No wildcard at the end).
All permission can be edited in the cannon design config. So you can use different permissions for different cannons.
If your permission manager supports wildcarts (e.g. permissionsex) you can also write cannons.* to give all permissions. If you send me your permissions manager config and the plugin I will test it.

Posted Aug 18, 2013@diffog In the old version it loaded the same amount which was loaded. But I changed it to the maximum amount in cannons 2.0. Is this problematic for you? Maybe we can find a better way to implement it.

Posted Aug 17, 2013Quick question: as I'm using the auto-load feature, is there a way to adjust the number of gunpowder used (from 1 to 3kg?) Right now it seems to be fixed at always using 3kg.

Posted Aug 17, 2013@daPoseidonGuy You can make your own cannon. Load the .schematic whichs ships with cannons and edit it with worldedit.

Posted Aug 10, 2013@janjanjan11111 At the moment it should work if you add a sign to the side of a cannon. Cannons will then automatically add the cannon name and owner to the sign. This allows cannons to track the movement. More is planned, but I have not much time at the moment.
@Typical_Name Only small bug fixes (e.g problems with signs, aiming mode distance). Also you can now delete a message of the language file and it will not spam the chat with empty strings.
