Ball that bounces in verticles and horizontals

I’m trying to make a antonball fangame and I’m quite confused on the ball since it wont bounce vertically

Can you provide screen snips of your events that move and bounce the ball around?

You need to either bounce the ball off objects, or move it away from objects, but don’t do both. There’s a possibility that the moving it away is interfering with the bounce.

Also, there’s no need for all those trigger once conditions. If the ball collides with an object and you then bounce it off the same object, it shouldn’t be colliding any longer, and so the trigger once becomes redundant. Similarly for the force application; do that in a beginning of scene instead.

how do I make it bounce off the player then? as it keeps going in a line

Have you got rid of the trigger once conditions?

yup I did I hate that I have to type more words for filler cause the 20 character rule

Here’s a quick test I did, and it works fine. The squareball object has bounce behaviour on it, the player has top-down behaviour.

Do you have any other behaviours on your player object?

platformer object as its not really a type of pong game using the usual

Ah, you’ve missed the warning on the bounce extension:
