Cannons on dino platforms ?

[Charlie]

Hello, today i wanted to tame a Titanosaur on PVE with my mates, while preparing i found out the cannon doesnt work properly when fitted on my Quetzal, i got the options to aim different directions but they doesnt work and when i put a cannon ball in it the prompt to fire doesnt appear.

Are you using OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true?

[Charlie]

Yes, is it the problem ? Should i turn it to false ?

I'm also in the process of doing the same. Cannon works on ground foundations, but on Quetzal platform it doesn't let me fire. I can still place and even align it with foundations on saddle, but it refuses to enable the fire option

No, it should work if set to true. Weird that it doesnt

What's actually happening is this. When moving it up, down left right or trying to fire the first shot might look like it worked however after that the cannon and more is glitched for your player. You are actually firing the cannon and moving and other players that haven't yet fired it will see it normally. I got the glitch when I fired it, then my tribemate fired it and got the glitch. The only way we knew it was firing was the damage numbers on the other tribes boat/structures. There's more to it though, when this glitch happens we couldn't fire out ballista turret, a pistol in my inventory looked like it wasn't firing but it was, and the ammo for it didn't change so I had to guess to reload. I can't believe this isn't patched yet. I found out about this in the heat of battle.

still not patched because I have the same issue with cannons, very frustrating.
Also, there something wrong with titan. I managed to trap it with behemoth gates to use a cannon on ground but after 3hrs I only got it about 20% torpor with non stop head shots. I tried without gates but its impossible to aim at it from a tower. I tried rockets chasing it around but only like 1/10 shots worked and only gave it a tiny amount of torpor..so I gave up.

Titans have to be moving to be able to gain torpor. Trapping it or getting it stuck makes it stop gaining torpor from hits. So you have to keep it moving while trying to KO it otherwise it wont take torpor.

The Cannons I placed on my Raft builds won't fire either.
I can place them on the Rafts just fine, aim them around, load Cannon Balls into them, I even have the "Fire" prompt, but when I press to fire, nothing happens - and the Cannon Ball is consumed.
It doesn't shoot, doesn't make a sound, no screenshake. Nothing.
Seems like they've been disabled for platforms other than for aesthetic use.
