Need help with AI programming!

I am making a game similat to Pong, and I want to program the AI to try and match the ball's Y axis, but I don't know how to do that. Can someone please help me or direct me to a tutorial that can help?

Use [Event -> System -> Compare two values]

ball.Y >= computer.Y -> [Action] Add 5 to computer.Y

ball.Y < computer.Y -> [Action] Subtract 5 from computer.Y

You will have to adjust the value 5 to something that works for your game...

not much else too it :)

I believe that the above would be executed each tick, therefore you really should consider adding a "Every X seconds" condition to the event.

Something like 0.05 should do nicely (done 20 times per second).

Also, if you'd like something more complicated (with the paddle accelerating, instead of merely moving), you could try a custom movement behaviour and compare the axial speed and coordinates, if speed towards the needed point is below the maximum allowed, then add acceleration to the paddle towards it every x seconds.

Here's an example I made for you
