  Start with a move to position x and y of the ball actor.

  To do this, you have two options.
  
  Create two real attributes (game). One "ball pos x," one "ball pos y."
  
  Go into the ball actor and constrain both attributes to their respective positions (i.e. "ball pos x" constrained to "self.position.x."
  
  Or, in the scene, double click the defender and unlock the lock.
  Then use the "Move To" behavior eezing mentioned and for the x position, go to current scene, find the ball actor, and select its self position x. In a similar manner, do this for the y position.
  
  Hope this helps!

  Go with option 2. Constraining position will interfere with the physics engine and cause some funky stuff. When changing a position of an actor while using physics, use Move, Move to and accelerate behaviors. If you're really good, you can get away with interpolate in some cases.
