A great copiable firing cannon, with 3 firing modes: blank, ball and explosive. Causes damage & push in damage and push-enabled areas. Optionally fires a blank time charge on the hour.
The cannon is menu controlled. To display the menu, touch the small knob at the bottom of the barrel. The menu options are as follows:
Fire Blank - fires a blank round.
Fire Ball - fires a cannonball. The ball will usually bounce on impact, but as with the explosive rounds, the result depends on the missile's velocity at the time. Too fast, and it will pass through things. The ball is set to 100% damage on damage-enabled sims, and will kill (i.e. send Home) an avatar who is directly hit by it, on a Push-enabled sim.
Fire Expl - Fires an explosive round, that will normally explode on impact. It is set to 100% damage on damage-enabled sims. On Push-enabled sims it will push any avatar within 3 meters of the explosion. A direct hit on an avatar will kill.
'Range +' - increases the range of the cannon up to a preset maximum, in 4 steps
'Range -' - decreases the range of the cannon to a preset minimum
Reset range - resets to maximum range (between 40 & 50 meters)
Hour on/off - by default the cannon will automatically fire a blank round on the hour, as a time signal. This button will turn this feature on/off
Access Permissions:
By default the cannon can only be operated by the owner.
Owner - ensures that only the owner can operate it.
Group - allows members of the same group as the cannon to operate it, providing they are wearing their group tag. Group members do not see these access permission menu options.
All - allows anyone to operate it. These users only see the firing and range menu options.
Note: if several cannons are in proximity they will all fire at once. Great for a naval barrage!
