Collisions in an Outbreak clone

Edwin The Developer

Hello, I am a beginner in GameSalad so forgive me if my question has a very simple solution.

I am trying to create a Brick Breaker/ Outbreak copy. Everything seems to be going fine except for one small issue that really vexes me: The collision between the ball and paddle is not working the way I would like.

Here is what I want: Whenever the ball hits the left of the paddle, I would like the ball to bounce to the left; similarly, when the ball hits the right of the paddle, I would like the ball to bounce to the right. Basically, I want the direction of the ball to change based on where it hits the paddle.

It seems to me that the "collide" behaviour bounces the ball randomly. Is there a way to make the collision the way I would like it?

Thank you very much.
