TNT projectile- id not found?

[jamesol1]

This is open to anyone who may know the answer. How do I make cannons shoot out primed tnt? The ids primed_tnt and tnt did not work/could not be found. The only other entity id I’ve gotten to work outside of snowball is fireball.

Thanks

In the config.yml you have the option to change the projectile type. You can replace SNOWBALL with PRIMED_TNT and see what happens, but I don't know what will happen.

cannonball:
  #the type of the projectile entity
  #ARROW, EGG, FIREBALL, SMALL_FIREBALL, SNOWBALL, THROWN_EXP_BOTTLE, SPLASH_POTION, WITHER_SKULL
  entityType: SNOWBALL

I tried using primed tnt a few weeks ago. And well it kinda spits out of the cannon but doesn't shoot with the defined velocity like a snowball does. Not sure if there's a fix for it but yh.

It is because I set the velocity of the projectile and somehow TNTPrimed is an entity and no a projectile. You could use other projectiles:

I might be possible to replace the projectile.setVelocity with entity.setVelocity, but I am not sure if it is worth it. Since the plugin relies on the projectile impact it might get tricky, but possible.

Hi Pavlov.
I was wondering how one would go about doing what you mentioned above. Movecraft 'Cannon Director' aims primed tnt shot from piloted crafts with vanilla tnt cannons. I was hoping to test to see if this would work with cannons if it shot out primed tnt. The movecraft dev isn't 100% sure it would work but said its worth testing. This could scrap the need for that remote cannons which i understand is too much work.

I'm guessing its not as easy as replacing projectile.setVelocity with entity.setVelocity. If its not too difficult, if a forked version could be made so i could test to see if it works that would be great!
