Mouse Help Needed - SierraKen - 05-02-2022
I'm doing another update for Ken's Artillery 2 using sliders for the power and angle. I got the sliders themselves working OK, but for some reason the computer keeps thinking the mouse button is pressed on each turn and after one turn, and then the computer, the computer takes over and shoots from your guy thinking you have pressed the mouse already. For a long time I've had some issues with the mouse commands and I'm not sure how to fix this. Any help is appreciated, thank you. I put comment lines where the code is at to help you. Also, I spent over 2 hours trying to fix this trying many different ways and loops, etc. No success, this is as best as I can get it so far. Is there a command to reset the _mousebutton (1) command? Because that's all I really need.

Hi Ken,
Cant do mouse clicks by Point because red is one side, and what if you want to increase?
You have to see if mouse click is inside the boxes. Working... on getting those coodinates.
Also, firstly poll the mouse like this:
Code: (Select All)
While _MouseInput: Wend
mx = _MouseX: my = _MouseY: mb = _MouseButton(1) ' this update the mouse x, y and button status save to variable because they changeYou think you need to be in a loop but you don't unless you are doing _mousewheel, which you are not.
BRB
RE: Mouse Help Needed - SierraKen - 05-02-2022
Not sure what you mean by "red is one side" both sliders work fine for me. I just can't stop the computer playing the game. Thanks for the While/Wend code, I'll try it out.
RE: Mouse Help Needed - SierraKen - 05-02-2022
B+, what I do to the red is some red has 1 blue, some have 5 blue, some have 0 blue. The slider has only a certain amount of blue that is used with the mouse. All of the other reds have different numbers of blue. But you can't tell any of it with your eyes.
RE: Mouse Help Needed - bplus - 05-02-2022
Well I got the sliders working, power = vel 0 to 100 and angle a = 0 to 90 what you do after that is on you.
Seems like after computer fires it dies after 3 tries or so???

OK I didn't understand what you were doing. I made the sliders move to any place you click so you don't have to be in red section and drag. Just click a position in the bar.

RE: Mouse Help Needed - bplus - 05-02-2022
It looks like when the computer shoots the ball out of the screen it never returns to the player.
Do you check somewhere the ball x coordinate < 0 the computer missed and it's the players turn.
RE: Mouse Help Needed - SierraKen - 05-02-2022
B+ I didn't read your last couple of replies and I been working on it all night, so I think I have the game finished now. Tell me what you think and if you find any problems, thanks.
(Code Removed) Go to Page 2 for your updates B+, thanks.

The problem was that I accidentally used the same variable for 2 totally different things, so that is fixed.
