Max Angle (left) and Max Angle (right):
The value defines the highest rotation (in degrees) the tilt cannon can reach.
If the Base of your cannon is fully covered by ground on one side, you should set max angle on that side to 15.
If the Base of your cannon is half covered by ground on one side, you should set max angle on that side to 60.
A value over 90 is only recommended if there are no blocks right beneath it.

Power:
The value defines how long the player flies in a straight line. The higher the value, the further the cannon shoots the player.
The player is invulnerable while flying in a straight line, hurting enemies on their way.
If the value is 0, you will reach the same height as when shot out of a mortar and won't fly in a straigt line at all.
If the player touches a flight canceller hits the ground or the ceiling, the player stops flying in a straight line and regains control.
Doesn't affect the flight, if the Mortar is ticked.

Elasticity:
When hitting a wall, you will bounce off in the other direction.
The value defines how much of your momentum keeps when hitting a wall.
A value of 1 doesn't make you lose any of your momentum when bouncing.
A value of 0 doesn't bounce you off a wall at all.
Doesn't affect the flight, if the Mortar is ticked.

Mortar:
When ticked, the player performs a mighty ground pound when getting shot.
Until they hit solid ground, the player is able to tear through blocks without stopping.
A Mortar is not affected by the values of Elasticity and Power.

Flight Canceller:
When touched, the player will stop flying and regains control, is no longer invulnerable though.
Invisible ingame.

Mortars are red, cannons are gray, but these things don't blast you away!


Drill into a cannon and it will work as a Mortar as well

Someone didn't balance the gunpowder distribution...

Note: I used MDA's little dialogue as well as his custom camera system (for zooming out)
