Cannons - Spleefing to take control

[Tiger_087]

Situation:
When players buy a cannon for themselves, usually the entire team tries to take control of it and sometimes spleef the obsidian blocks so that the user falls through the bottom. It can be pretty frustrating for players who are getting a number of kills from using the cannon, or newcomers who are still getting used to the game.
Suggestion:
Just like in Zombie survival, I think that spleefing team mates should not be allowed - at least not on cannons. If this was added then people will stop abusing the glitch and play normally.
Pros:
- Players will stop abusing the glitch.
- Newcomers won't find themselves falling through what appears to be a solid block of obsidian.
- There is a slight chance players will stop fighting for cannons.
Cons:
- Players may attempt to push others off
- Players might continue to take control by spamming 'left-click' on the glass blocks

Thank you for reading this and feel free to criticise.

I totaly agree with this, very annoying if people spleef me ;/

Team spleefing is already against the rules. :) I believe it falls under poor sportsmanship.

Be sportsman like in your manner on the server

• Essentially, don't whine if you lose, don't falsely accuse people of hacking because they are better than you, and don't beg for currency.
• This also includes spleefing your teammates, which is deleting the block under them so that they may fall. This is especially the case for cannons.

Likely course of action: Verbal Warn, Warn, Warn, Kick, Kick, Ban.

The obsidian blocks for a cannon could be changed into OperatorBlocks.

True, it's against the rules, but why not? It helps stop them from doing it and having to get someone to deal with the problem.

Would be handy, if it were codable.

I know that no spleefing is already on the rules but players still do it, especially when they're after a cannon. If a system similar to Lava/Zombie could be coded, that would solve thisproblem completely.

What I see happening is TNT placed onto the cannon, which knocks them off all the time

I think it's fine if an opponent does it, but in the case of team mates...it's completely different. They're breaking the rule "show good sportsmanship".

Or bedrock

Or bedrock

Due bedrock people will get stuck inside of it, while in opblocks you have to possibility to escape.

How do you get stuck inside bedrock? I dont see people getting stuck inside bedrock walls and flooors etc...

It is about when you place the cannon o.o

Oh...

 

[Amorix]

Would be a bit more fair, seeing as how you aren't supposed to be able to break blocks on the cannon in the first place.

Is there any way to change the design of it?

 

[KingSam]

I've attempted on numerous occasions to find out where the shape of the cannon is defined etc, and it's not clear as to how to change it. If I knew where it was, I'd be able to change it so that it was non-spleefable. But I don't, so I can't.

Would @destroyerx1 know where the shape is defined?

Most likely!
