Automated Cannons

Automated Cannons 1.2.0

Hire NPC gunners to man your boat cannons and automatically engage enemy ships
  • Replaced per-cannon scanning with boat-level threat detection. One scan per boat feeds all cannons, major performance improvement.
  • Cannons can now target rhibs, rowboats, tugboats, and modded boats (e.g. Karuza pirate ships), each toggleable in config.
  • Added Raidable Boats plugin integration. Cannons detect and engage raidable boats and their escort boats with a separate config toggle.
  • New config sections for targetable boat types and target filters.
  • Fixed npc spawn error related to server occlusion.

  • Patched for the March 5 Rust update.

This plugin uses Oxide's permission system. Grant or revoke permissions using oxide.grant and oxide.revoke. You can assign them to individual players or groups using their Steam id or group name.
Settings are stored in the config file found under the config/ directory. You can edit this file manually, then reload the plugin to apply your changes.
Persistent data is saved in the data/ directory. This includes things like saved settings, usage stats, or player progress depending on the plugin. Deleting a data file will reset stored progress or customizations.
Language files are located in the lang/ folder. To translate messages, copy the en.json file into your target language folder (e.g. fr, de) and edit the values. Reload the plugin after changes to apply new messages.
This section lists public methods exposed by the plugin for use in other plugins. You can call these via the CallHook method. Ensure the plugin is loaded before calling its API to avoid null reference errors.
These are custom hooks that other plugins can listen for. Simply define a method with the same name and expected parameters in your plugin to handle the event. Hooks are triggered at key moments and are useful for extending or reacting to plugin behavior.
These hooks are injected into the game's code using Harmony. They let the plugin run code at key points in the game's internal logic. You can return values to block or modify behavior. Use with caution — these are powerful and can affect core mechanics.
