Ball collision with bricks

[HyperspazzMan]

I am ableto get the ball to hit the bricks and destroy and give the player points. My problem is when the ball destroys the brick I have the ball go in the direction of the paddle. This becomes a problem when you get up on the top because it will just hit the top brick and go straight down and destroy the other bricks.

How can I fix this? I tried spreading out the directions a bit, but it is not working well. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Why have the ball bounce in the direction of the paddle? Just use the "Bounce" action (that is, if you are using the Bouncing Ball Movement) to bounce it realistically off the brick.

Yeah I am using the ball bounce action. It seems when you usually see a ball hit a brick for it to go towards the paddle instead of bouncing all over. I will try that and take out that direction event. Thanks Jaffob.

Seems to work better. Thanks!
