This morning I built a semi-automatic cannon in SSP. It functions fine, but is slow and awkward to reload. I was wondering if anyone else has built one, and if so, how it works.
It was the first thing I thought of when I heard of pistons. I will post my version later. Since pistons can't launch entities, I can only automate the loading process, but it's quite cool, and fun to do.
I want to see someone make a cannon that reloads itself with pistons. That would be really awesome...
If anyone does, make a video of it firing and reloading.
I did just that. It loads from the left side, using pistons to push 6 rows of tnt (boosters and projetile) after it fires. sand falls to fill the void between the magazine and pistons. i'll post the screenshot as soon as i know how.
Once i figure out how to post an image, i have a few screen shots. sorry for being a newb on the forum
ok well im going to try to figure this out l8r.

right click the image and select "view image"
sorry about the site requiring you to register. i didnt know about that
That's actually a really good design. You get lots more shots than mine does, which is really the point of the semi-automatic part, isn't it?
