Hi, I’m trying to create a flash version of 2 Player Slime Volleyball but I have encountered a few problems I hope someone can help me with. I have movement of the 2 slimes but it is slow, jolty and only one can be moved at a time. So any help here would be great.

I Also have no idea on how to get the ball to bounce off them at angles and accelerate etc. so I would love it if someone could point me in the right direction :hugegrin:

I’ve sorted the movement :ne: Anyone got any ideas on the main problem, getting the ball to bounce off with different y & x velocities when the ball hits different parts of a semi circle?

For those who may not know, this is a link to the original slime volleybal: [http://tartarus.uwa.edu.au/~wedgey/slime1/](http://tartarus.uwa.edu.au/~wedgey/slime1/)

With regards to your question, I have no clue ☹

Maybe you could help with this Kirupa?

Here is my code for gravity

onClipEvent (load) {  
yspeed = Math.sin(dir\*Math.PI/180)\*speed;  
\_y = 20;  
yspeed = 20;  
if (\_y\<290) {  
yspeed = yspeed-1;  
}  
setInterval;  
100;  
}

In a nutshell it should reduce the vertical speed by 1 ever 100ms, however the ball just stays at the same height. Anyone got any ideas?
