This is actually a lot easier. But bear in mind it won't work on touch devices.

Is this what you're asking about?

And that would be found here:

but how is it accomplished?!

I checked it out and if you click twice without changing position of the cursor, it does not shoot.

Sorry, it was just meant to be a simple demo of the basics, I didn't take the time to make it very complete

@Sock's suggestion should work, but what I intended to do but obviously forgot to was this:

@Sock's method is better though as with mine you have to release a tap before a ball is spawned. So use his unless you specifically want this behaviour.

1. Can you tell me what it says directly under "Rule"? when I got the cannon thing it just said Invalid path but both setups still work fine, it is really bugging me.

Thank you so much! It is exactly what I need! I just have a tiny problem...

Under the "Constrain Attribute" there is a rule. Inside it is the attribute-checking-thing.
It says: "Invalid Path" inside of the attribute. I would like to find out what the attribute is supposed to be so I can replicate it. Please help!
