1. How to make the ball start ontop of the pong. (trying to do this for ages.)

What I want to know how to is make the ball follow the pong left and right?

Create Event

instance_create(x,y-7,obj_ball);

Now this creates obj_ball at the x and y coordinates as the object you put it in. Put that in the create event of your paddle object.
Next problem was how to make obj_ball follow the x coordinate as the paddle but once space is pressed, it will carry on with its normal routine.

Create Event

go = 0;

Step Event

if go = 0 {x = obj_paddle.x}
if go = 1 {//your normal obj_ball code}
if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space)
{
go = 1;
vspeed =- 7; //replace with your up movement code.
}

All of the code above should go in the events listed in obj_ball.

Thx for the reply but Sinister95 figured it out.

Also, you might want to explain the third question more, so people without the gmk can look at the step event of the pong, so you can get help faster

The 3rd question isn't needed anymore thx to you Sinister95.
You have been a great help and a good mate thx

Lol, ok, you're welcome. Glad to help a fellow gamemaker

you dont need to place those objects along the bottom of the screen , just put this code into the ball's outside room event[codebox]x=xstart; y=ystart;
with (obj_pong) x=xstart; y=ystart;[/codebox]
