Scratch

Here's one part of my project that I need help on:

The concept is fairly simple: there's a ball, a paddle, and a block that randomly spawns in the screen. You hit space and the ball starts moving. you hit the ball with the paddle and try to hit the block with the ball.

The way I have it working now is when the ball contacts the paddle it faces up, then picks a random number from -70 to 70 and rotates that many degrees, then begins moving again. This works for the game, but it is too unpredictable. I've been trying to figure out a way to make the ball deflect like with the 'if touching wall, bounce' command, but so far I have been unsuccessful.

Does anyone have a script that will do this?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. All I did was subtract 180 degrees from the direction the ball is traveling in if it is touching the paddle.
