Accelerate in the opposite direction when coliding. How?

Cabaco

I want the actor that collides with the other actor to bounce and accelerate in the opposite direction. Also, when my actor collides with the enemy it seems that when I let go of my ball, it just starts going down or something. Any help?

Can't you just say when collide change attribute self.rotation to self.rotation-180?

When actor overlaps or collides with 'Bad Guy', Change attribute self.motion.linear.x to -200

Change the -200 to whatever speed you want it to move at

Thanks! What about my other prob when it collides, my ball strangely accelerates to a random direction?

On the ball settings, under the physics tab, uncheck moveable.

Hopefully that should work!

Thanks done that!
But the balls still dont bounce realisticly... I want them to bounce like in air hockey. Help please

Play around with the restitution numbers in the Physics bit

Already put the max restitution possible for both the actors, but no results. How do I do like in air hockey for example. My game is just some balls coming at you and you have to defend a circle from them.

Make a screen recording of the gameplay and I'll take a look or you could send me your project to info@instantmashgames.com and I'll have a play around with it
