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 Jul 14, 2012Precious stones sir.
I'm mostly concerned about the war feature. I want my players to be able to destroy their rival's buildings only when war is engaged.
Basically war is like this: When a clan engages war with another clan, both clans' protection are turned off from EACHOTHER and no one else until the war ends. Your protection still works against all other clans in the server.
Also is it possible to change the "adjust" feature item from bare hands to something else?
Thanks for your time, this is a great plugin!

Posted Jul 14, 2012@watdidyusaey I am going to check the API
EDIT: SimpleClans is supporting PreciousStones? Or do you use another protection system?

Posted Jul 11, 2012@antoinne30 Does the explosion break blocks? If not, everything is ok. You can also set the player damage to zero in protected regions by setting 'playerdamage in regions: false'.

Posted Jul 10, 2012@Ozelo I also use the combination of factions 1.7.x and creeperheal 5.0.1. The only problem I have is if I update Creeperheal to the latest version I have to delete the config of Creeperheal. Else it makes really strange errors.

Posted Jul 10, 2012I would like to use this plugin working with creeper heal. I use factions 1.7.x and it prevent the cannon to work. If I remove factions, it works good with creeper heal. But if I disable the protection hook, it stop working with creeper heal. :( Is there any way to disable ONLY factions protection hook? So, creeper heal may works even if there are factions. Please?

Posted Jul 7, 2012@robotnikthingy Looks good. I don't know whats the best way to implement it, so maybe I am going to make a separate plugin for mortar.

Posted Jul 6, 2012@blerhenerblu Ok, the secret may be, you need to fire the cannon with redstone to get autoload. Also the chest should be filled with gunpowder and your projectile.

Posted Jul 5, 2012I can't seem to get the autofire to work with the chest next to the cannon. Is there a secret or something I'm not seeing in the picture? I have it set up exactly like it is in the picture.
If I manually put in the gunpowder and the cobblestone the cannon will fire, but it won't autoload.
I'm using 1.2.5 and the 1.9.1 of cannon mod.

Posted Jun 28, 2012@jhs232 To make MCTowns cannons proof set the 'tnt' flag to deny. Can be done with worldguard by '/region flag YOURTOWNNAME tnt deny' or with MCTowns. Be careful that only the impact location is used to determine if a town is hit. So if the shell explodes outside a town it can still damage the inside with the explosion.
