@damnnicholas Awesome!

Still being processed, but I can't wait to see it :)

edit: Just watched it. Nice video :) The timing was just barely off, as I implemented the other types of ammo just last night :P

Okay, you guys asked for it, so here it is.

Please notice the change in the config and permissions! See ChangeLog! There was a name change that is very important. The old ammoType stuff was changed to ammoUsage to free up the ammoType wordage.

You can now make your turrets shoot arrows, eggs, snowballs, potions, expbottles, monster eggs, and yes, fireballs :) Turrets using ammo need to have the ammo in the chest (and have the config option for that ammo there), and unlimited ammo turrets are modified via command (granted the unlimited ammo type config option is there).

On a side note, I also fixed a few bugs in the code :)

Sure, you want to PM me your server name? I've tried again, with the diamond upgraded turret just to make sure, and still can't replicate this :/ Do any of your other plugins do anything to affect what snowballs do or anything?

@SuperMinecraftBrosMC

I still haven't looked into DisguiseCraft stuff. Depending on how that plugin works, it may be a huge change in the code of Turrets to make it work. Plus there are a few other things that all servers, whether using DisguiseCraft or not, would want that I'm going to implement first (things like config stuff for saying whether or not anyone can man anyone's turrets, or adding activation/deactivation for turrets, etc). Also, IRL, I'm closing on a new house today, so it's a really busy time for me outside the Bukkit world.

Given all that, I'll look into DisguiseCraft support as soon as I can, but I definitely can't give any definite time frame :)

@n33dy1

Sorry, I meant snowballs. They did nothing...

@n33dy1

?

Are you saying they currently do? Cuz I just launched a stack of fireballs at a turret and it didn't bat a non-existent eyelash :P

@rladbsgh

Thanks, I'll look into this asap. I was messing with the manual control a lot and I thought I had reverted to the right commit, but some things were wonky I might not have. I've changed stuff since v0.1.5 (which is what I assume you're using), but I should be able to find it.

edit: I think this sort of thing only happens if you die while in the turret. I do notice it doesn't relinquish control of the turret when this happens, but I was unable to reproduce the exception you put in your message there. Also, I can't reproduce the problems with exiting the turret, it always works for me :/ Here's what I think is best to do to fix this:

Manual isn't working well at all and all my ideas for control don't work at all or have some major problem with them, so I'm going to take it out completely in v0.1.7 and have the turret auto-aim all the time again, and have manual control only over when it shoots. This will hopefully stop the not being able to exit without dying or destroying the turret thing. Also, I'll add code to make it so when you die, as far as the turret is concerned it's like you got out (this was definitely something I missed, so thanks!).

Thanks for the feedback :) hopefully this fixes your problems!

@n33dy1

1. Yeah I noticed that as well. I think I'll add two options:

• canPickupUnlimArrows - if true players can pick up arrows shot by turrets with unlimited ammo.
  • default: false

• canPickupAmmoArrows - if true players can pick up arrows from turrets using ammo boxes.
  • default: true

edit: Yep, this is something that is sort of in the works. The way it'll be implemented (at least at first) will most likely require that the ammo you want shot be in an ammo chest, and you set the priority of which ammo gets shot first in the config.yml

edit 2: yep :) In case you want to know the specifics, the accuracy value is a gain on some gaussian random variable that modifies the arrow's final target location, so the lower the value, the less noise or deviation in the arrow's chosen path
