Building a cannon

so, basically, i cannot make the piston joint rotate along with the cannon and fire when i want...
The piston will rotate with the cannon. But it will fling the cannon ball as soon as you play the simulation.

thank you so much! i finally got what i wanted!
can i ask you one more thing? is it possible to make the cannon rotate on the blue axis with a wheel+servo joint?
-
im not a sketchy physics user, but cant you rotate the modle to one side, apply the joint and then rotate it back? i just saw it on a vid, so mght well be wrong.

I had to explode and re-group the wooden parts. It was messed up somehow.

now it works perfectly! thanks!
-
have a look at the completed model!

Check out this cannon that I made. It's self moving and quite realistic. Different reloading mechanism, hope it's intuitive.
-
nice! it's very powerful, though i found quite hard to understand how it fires...
-
Maybe you can fire some flowers and it will be perfect
Very cool engine

Showing hidden geometry and turning on transparency will reveal all secrets of the cannon.

at last...
