How to make something bounce off walls?

Probably very simple but I couldn't figure it out!

I need a cannon ball to bounce off an actor called Wall. What's happening now is that the cannon ball is moving forward because of the Move behavior, but forward relative to the actor, and when it hits the wall it turns and starts going in loops!

How can I make it so that the ball will fire in the direction the cannon is pointing and bounce off walls normally (no gravity btw), without losing any speed?

    Bump, maybe I should clarify a bit more. I want the ball to "reflect" off the wall, but the problem is that the ball is moving with the Move behavior set at 90 degrees relative to the actor (which is forwards), so when it hits the wall it keeps on slamming into it.

    Try looking at the accelerate behavior, instead of the move behavior.

    Try playing trials evolution going for platinum that will make things bounce off the walls :)

    Try changing the fixed rotation also.
