Android Problem object following mouse when try to press on screen GUI Button

[Xecries]

hi guys.

i made this game for android but i have a problem with the player control

Step Event:
execute code:

move_towards_point(mouse_x,mouse_y-50,8);
if point_distance(x,y,mouse_x,mouse_y-50)<speed
{
direction = 0;
speed = 0;
}

The code is for the player which is constantly following the mouse. so when i created a button and put it in the room and tried to press it like shoot missile the player move toward the place that i press. How can i avoid the player to move its position when i am pressing a button. I have tried using simple code like doom mouse_click but it prevents the player unique move freely in the screen.

So you want the player to constantly move towards the mouse, except when you're clicking? If that's all, you could do like:

if(move == true)
{
move_towards_point(mouse_x,mouse_y-50,8);
if point_distance(x,y,mouse_x,mouse_y-50)<speed
{
direction = 0;
speed = 0;
}
}

And then have a mouse press event where you set Player*.move = false. You also need to set move = true again at some point, maybe a mouse release event. I'm not sure how these different mouse events affect each other. The mouse events are also only executed if the mouse pointer is within the bounding box of the object where these events happen. You said something about clicking a button? In that case the mouse events should be in the button object.
*Or whatever the name of your player object is.
