Welcome to the forum!

if you want the ball(actor) direction to be random, you have to make a variable then give it a random number
every time you press space bar with the function rand(x)
first creat a variable on global code, Name it dir

so on actor ball, Key Down (space)
Script Editor :

Code: Select all

dir = rand(2);      // this will creat a random number (0 OR 1)
if(dir == 0){
   xvelocity = -6;    // go to the left
}
else
xvelocity = 6         // go to the right
bola = 1;             // no idea..

btw, sometimes the function rand() can be really unfair, it might force you to go right 5 times in a row
in that case you have to find a way to stop the ball-actor from leaving the view.

GoodLuck

rand() does not return a "random" value but a pseudo-arbitrary one.
A pseudo-arbitrary value can be reversed, because it has been created with mathematical formula that uses the local time as a seed.
Completely random values are hard to get in real life. It must be from a source, that has no logic.

Therefore, the use of rand() makes you a terrible C/C++ programmer.
Not only it is easy-to-reverse (with correlation for instance) but it is also a heavy function.
If you are willing to subdue a High-Quality game you will use a system to base the "randomness" from.

Example:

Code: Select all

stTime time = getTime();
int prime_diffusion = !(real_fps % 2);
textNumber = prime_diffusion && !(time.sec % prime_diffusion);
