I see, so obsidian will ALWAYS heavily dampen explosions, even with super breaker?

how come every time i try to shoot the cannons i build it shoots to the left automatically with out me even turning the cannon.. how do i fix this?

@DerPavlov

You may not be a server admin, but we have a handful over here that LOVE to experiment (we even have a map for admins to experiment specifically lol) you are more then welcome to come hang out and ask us to test what ever you little programming heart desires =D We use teamspeak 3 and actually have a dev room (since we program other things as a community) ^_^

@DerPavlov

Got it, I'll test that one in just a moment, thank you so much!

EDIT: Cannons are shooting straight again, perfect!

I'm still experiencing strange penetration. Blocks that are super breaker enabled break obsidian, but only the first few blocks. For instance, diamonds break a plus shape where the center goes two blocks in and the other parts are only one deep, but only with a max length max powder cannon. This seems far weaker than it should be.

Diamond is set up with 4 penetration. Obsidian will break two or three deep with 5 penetration. The numbers just seem off a bit.

In addition, a block with penetration six only enters about four blocks and explodes. It has an explosion radius of 20 but only explodes like one with an explosion radius of 2 would inside the obsidian. If I shoot the same block at a cube of stone, it does have a large explosion radius fitting the 20.

@DerPavlov

Gotcha, then I've deleted obsidian destroyer as there's no need to use it and it further complicates matters.

Cannons are still firing 90 degrees to the right and only blowing up the first few blocks of obsidian regardless of penetration; any ideas on those two issues? :S

EDIT: We're running 1.4.5 and are using the latest version of cannons in the list. Should we update to 1.4.6?

(Edited my last post again, basically I figured it out, the shot is traveling 90 degrees to the right of where I shoot it)

Also, I thought obsidiandestroyer was required in order to use superbreaker o.o

This is so strange, now it looks like the shots are exploding on the surface of the obsidian. They used to vanish on the surface and go through it, doing nothing along the way. Now it doesn't even do that O.o

I take that back, it seems like it's penetrating ok, gotta test it more. The main issue atm is 90 degree misses.

Penetration seems to be working and I am indeed getting exploding obsidian, but no matter how high the penetration is set, it only blows out the first block or two.

@DerPavlov

Nono, now it doesn't destroy anything at all - the shot hits the wall and then...nothing. No blocks are destroyed at all. We're running 1.4.5 with the following plugins:

- RedstoneJukeboxTrig -RealMail -PorteCoulissante -BOSEconomy -EpicGlass -Vault -Dynmap -ObsidianDestroyer -Spectate -MidiBanks -RealShopping -AuthMe -DragonTravel -UpsideDown -Marriage -ControllerBlockWE -Cannons (The best plugin ever :D ) -SecretSwitch -Bookshelf -BlocksOnGlass -Runecraft -VariableTriggers -MoveCraft -MoneyDrop -CCTV Cameras -ShowCaseStandAlone -LagMeter -WorldEdit -MondoChest -WorldGuard -Craftbook

I'm expecting to fire the cannon and watch it punch out a line of blocks until it explodes and knocks out a bunch of obsidian, but instead I fire the cannon and the shot hits the obsidian and does nothing at all. I'd gotten it working last night after fixing the config for obsidiandestroyer, but now it's back to no damage :S

Ah....no....I figured it out, the shot isn't going through the obsidian....it's flying 90 degrees to the right of where I aim it O.o

@DerPavlov

No luck; with the current .jar that you've got up I at least get some penetration/an explosion, but with the fix you sent I'm not seeing any of that - I test it by shooting at a cube of obsidian and then doing a
replace obsidian glass with worldedit. Not seeing any kind of damage at all with the one :s

EDIT: Well, I say that. Even with the one I used last night penetration now isn't working anymore; weird. Lemme mess with it some.

That's so strange, last night it wasn't effecting obsidian at all, then I changed obsidiandestroyer's config to allow for it and it suddenly started working. All of a sudden, neither version of cannons works this morning and has reverted to the old behavior :(

@derpavlov no i am using the 1.4.6 R0.1

Simplified my post down to this:

This marks two separate issues for me:

1. Penetration values cause a shot to just ignore the blocks it penetrates. As I understand it, those blocks should be broken on the way to the destination too. EDIT: After testing this, it seems like the shot is indeed breaking most of the blocks on the way, but it "skips" the first block . On a solid cube, this make it look like it is "ghosting" through as the surface remains seemingly unharmed. Am I doing something wrong, or is this intended?

2. Super breaker tags seem to not be saving for blocks that don't default to super breaker according to the default config. For instance, obsidian is not set to superbreaker by default, and if I set it to true myself then it still won't pierce obsidian.

If you can help to fix my issues, I'd be more than willing to donate; I really have appreciated your plugin!
