Script parameters

Parameter Field	Description
InitialSpeed	Sets the speed at which the cannonball is thrown. The higher the value, the faster the object moves. If InitialSpeed is lower than 1.0 or greater than 200.0, then the speed defaults to 10.0.
Delay	Sets a delay on throwing the cannonball. The number entered represents the number of seconds between each throw. Note: If a user repeatedly presses the throw button, the number of throws accumulate and will fire in succession while still considering the delay time.
Fire Sound	Assigns a sound to play when the cannon is fired.
Hit Sound	Assigns a sound to play when the cannon hits a target.
Loudness	Sets the loudness of the Fire Sound and Hit Sound when played.
Spawn Point 1	Sets teleport points. If Spawn Point values are entered, the targets that are hit randomly teleport to the designated spawn points. Currently, you must set position points on all four points. By default, the position points <X,Y,Z> is set to <0,0,0>. Leaving <0,0,0> as a position point for any spawn point may teleport the target to <0,0,0>. You may enter the same position point values across all spawn points if you don't want the target to teleport to the <0,0,0> position point.
