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.

Erm, but ObsidianDestroyer was last updated less than 10 days ago, for 1.6.4-R2.0... has there been a new craftbukkit build since then?

Posted Nov 26, 2013@OprichnikYConec3 The barrel should be 3 blocks long. But you can also load the default cannon (plugins/cannons/designs/classic.schematic) with worldedit to see how it should look like.

@Typical_Name ObsidianDestroyes seems to have a new developer, which changed the path. It should be compatible with this version.
Link removed
However ObsidianDestroyer is broken at the moment because the bukkit code has change. I maybe update the old code to get a new clean interface for ObsidianDestroyer. However it will also take a while for ObsiadianDestroyer to update.

Posted Nov 23, 2013I have problem. The plugin seems not to start when it is used in combination with ObsidianDestroyer; I get the following error message: http://pastebin.com/aPjHxeYs
Works fine without ObsidianDestroyer. Is the problem with Cannons, or with ObsidianDestroyer? (Both are updated to latest version)

Ill try to write a few pages/update the cannons documentation. I'm in school right now so i t may take a few days, but i am the documenter for this plugin
I do need to know what changes were made during the latest release though and what new things were added, or else i dont know what I should be documenting or looking for :P .
I you also want a place to test out cannons yourself, you can use my server to test out cannons, as I always make sure I am updated. PM me if your interested in that

Posted Nov 11, 2013@FlOppythp I didn't want to insult you, so sorry for that misunderstanding. However I am not a support hotline. If you have problems with your server I can't help, because I don't have experience with that.
Troubleshooting for cannons is no problem (to a certain degree). But cannons is a fun project for me, so please understand that I have limited time.
Also I am willing to share the code with anybody.

Posted Nov 10, 2013@TheBiscuitBoy I updated it to the latest Bukkit version. Can you give me some response if it is working now?
Also some important questions to all users of cannons. It was a little bit quiet on this page, because I was focused on other projects. If you are still interested in cannons and also some new features I will help you as much as I can. However I also need your help:
If you are interested send me a pm

Posted Nov 6, 2013@calebbfmv You can use redstone wires/repeaters or torches to fire a cannon. On default you have to wire the button on the end of the cannon for redstone wires/repeaters. Torches should be place underneath the barrel. Best you load the cannon shematic in cannons/design/ with worldedit.

Posted Oct 20, 2013@Jedimeatball Hm, what does not work? Try to type /cannons to get some response from the plugin. If that does work, your cannon might have a missing part, please send me a picture.
