Cannon



The Cannon is an interactive furniture item sold by the Pirate. It can be placed on the ground and, when activated, either by a Player (consuming a Cannonball) or by wire, fires an arcing cannonball that explodes on contact, dealing heavy damage without destroying blocks. The Cannon is powerful but immobile, functioning as a fixed gun emplacement, and so is best suited for tasks such as home defense.

A more powerful version of the Cannon known as the Bunny Cannon is sold by the Pirate when the Party Girl is present and one Hardmode boss is defeated.

Use
Once placed, the angle of the Cannon can be adjusted by right-clicking either side of the Cannon to rotate it in that direction. There are 9 possible orientations and it cannot fire downward, though the arcing trajectory of the cannonballs can be used to hit targets below the emplacement. Each click tilts the Cannon by one step.

The Cannon is fired by left-clicking it with a cannonball in hand, or while pressing the Auto Select key with a cannonball in your inventory. In either case, the cannonball is consumed. It can also be triggered by wire. Depending on where the wire is connected, it will either shoot a cannonball or rotate toward the side the wire is on.
