Mouse Help Needed
#1
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.

'I've always wanted to make this game ever since I started programming in the 80's.
'This was created by Ken G. with much help from others below.
'Thank you to B+ for much of the math code.
'It takes the computer a little time to learn how to hit your base.
'Created on June 26, 2019.
'Version 2 made on April 30, 2022.
'Added: Levels, random colored mountains, and better looking cannons.
