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 5, 2013I cannot seem to get blockSpawn to work. I tried with web, then enderpearl. Web was an ID of 30:0. The current Enderpearl setup can be found here: http://pastebin.com/R2aaVfVs
It doesn't seem to ever actually do anything. Is this feature currently working, or?
EDIT: OK, I got Web to work, but the Enderpearl does not. Is there any way to load it up with an Enderpearl that would actually take you to where the cannonball hits?

Posted Jun 5, 2013@Crysillion I hope it is nothing critical. At least what I know you have to enable cannons.player.build. by your self. Cannons.* will not work. I have already fixed this issue.

So there was indeed some bugs with permissions? I'm guessing that .jar you linked to fixes it?

Posted Jun 4, 2013@ezybuddy I tested your file and it seems your are using the wrong quotation marks(' 57:0'). Because it says, can't convert 22480 or something. And you have to add the projectile to the cannon, else you can't load it (which took me a while to figure that out).

Would it be possible to put in an upgrade system for cannons?
What i was thinking was in that in the config file there would be an option to define a block type, and if that block type is placed on the cannon then it received certain modifiers
something like
upgrade blocks
stone
- spread multiplier = 0.5
- velocity multiplier = 2
- explosion power = 5
and maybe where the upgrade blocks can be placed can be determined in the schematic the same the placement of chests and stuff are determined
@Crysillion
here is how i have the permission for cannons in my permissions.yml (using permissionsbukkit)
http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/7881/
and here is how i have the permissions set up in the config files of all my cannons
http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/7882/
@Greenturds
The bukkit staff probably need to approve of the update first before it becomes available for download

Posted Jun 3, 2013@PiratesUprising The cannons are protected and only a direct hit can destroy them. However it looks very odd if the cannon floats in the air. So I changed it in cannons 2.0 to protected blocks. Buttons will be protected, but the barrel not. So the barrel represents the durability of the cannon.

Posted Jun 3, 2013Im using version 1.9.4 and cannons do not blow up whenever they are fired at by another cannon, I have looked through the config and changelogs and it does not say how to make the cannons explode

Posted Jun 3, 2013@marafca2 The cannon looks good, if there is a button at the front, it should work. I guess you need a permission to build the cannon. So please look into your design/classic.yml for the right permission.
@Greenturds Ok, I added it to the bug list.
EDIT: Now fixed.
