Need help with ricochet

In my game I want an enemy actor to bounce around the screen. My problem is getting the actor to not try and keep going in one direction. I want the actor to bounce around continuously off all the walls.

    Use the collide behaviour and have the actor collides off the walls.

    I can make it collide off. The problem is the initial movement. If I tell it to move or accelerate in a certain direction it will try to keep going that way after it collides instead of bouncing around the screen

    Would you be prepared to reveal the code that makes your project behave as it does ? :wink:

    I'm on my computer. How exactly do I share it on here

    Do I screen shot or can I share the file?

    Did you try change attribute self linear velocity x 200. Or could be Y. Numer is the speed.
