I need a bit of help with a Pong-style game...

Basically, when the ball hits my pong paddle I want the ball to 'spin' when the actor is moving. But this requires friction. Thing is, the amount of friction you need to apply means that every time the ball hits the paddle the ball slows down a bit. Is there a work-around or am i just doing something wrong?

    I Just merged the two topics you just made that were copies into 1 post

    It doesn't necessarily require friciton, you could play around with angular velocity :) Obviously it would take time to set up something with a velocity spin that change based on the "force" of the impact, but if you like something more simpler, you can change the spin based on the direction. Just change the angular velocity value.

    You could do it so that when the ball overlaps or collides with the paddle it rotates
