12-pounder Napoleon (Useable Civil War Cannon)

The M1857 12-pounder Napoleon (1857) as it was used in the US Civil War with manual reload system (Shoot, use Ramrod to clean barrel, load munition charge then projectile, ramrod to load munition, pull fuse to fire) good for RP events or messing around (see video https://youtu.be/tk6jIpUSXDc for video if confused). This is an attempt to create something like the cannon system used in War Of Rights, still a work in progress but hope to build on this addon as a base :)

This was created in collaboration with Prussia - full credit to him for the models and generally being very cool.
Please checkout his workshop (He has created several cannon models and some cool maps)

Ammo Types:
Round Shot (Charge + Projectile)
Grape Shot (Charge + Projectile)
Canister Shot (Charge + Projectile)
High Explosive Shot (Charge + Projectile) - Percussion/Impact fuze
High Explosive Shell (Charge not required) - Precussion (Impact) + Timed (Airburst, press E to set fuze time)

You can also adjust elevation by pressing e on the elevation screw (under cannon)

Console Commands (soon to be added to a menu)
soap_cannonpack_np12_reload_disabled - Fire without needing reload
soap_cannonpack_np12_reload_enabled - Fire with reload
soap_cannonpack_np12_smoke_disabled - Disable firing smoke for optimisation
soap_cannonpack_np12_smoke_reduced - Reduce firing smoke for optimisation
soap_cannonpack_np12_smoke_full - Restore firing smoke to default

Other Notes:
--To Add:
--Settings Menu
--Canister shot + x3 load option
--Attachment system where you can hook the cannon into the limber
-- A Gettysburg map with these baked in for RP
-- Experiment with SetEyeAngles or SetEyeTarget while aiming
-- Killicons

--To Fix:
--Fix 'Set' button not setting elevation and fuse timer (only happens on use/on the second time) -- stuck: this is tricky to fix I have tried (try again)
--Fix wheeluse (stuck: cant get it to go forward!)
--Fix sometimes ramrod disappears after pickup (stuck: can't get it to setpos always disappears)

Suggestions welcome! Also if anyone is interested in helping out in anyway please let me know in a comment.
I'd anyone can code or model that would help us make a large collection of these faster. Also if anyone is interested in hosting some RP with cannons let us know as happy to help. I would quite like to make some maps for these cannons so they can be used properly in RP at some point.
