Greetings and needing of a little help

Unity Engine
1

Hi all! I’ve followed the track of Unity many months: one day I downloaded it, but I wasn’t enough motivated to start using it. Now, few days ago, I started to use it, creating a very simple breakout type game. This is just amazing!

I’m also taking advantage of this post for the presentation and for help with a little problem I’m having: as a breakout type game, the ball has to bounce diferently in fact of which part of the stick collides. I’d a very simple bouncing (just changes the direction of the movement when the collider bounds intersect, as I finded searching in the web), but it is a problem when colliding with one of the sides of the stick: the ball keeps inside of it, or goes down.

Can someone referer me a link for such a specific bouncing? Or any tips? (please, no videotutorials, my internet conection is very slow).

PD: Sorry if I’m in the wrong part of the forum.

Tip: Use Physic materials. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

I actually have a full Breakout project example on my website. I’ll link it below.

I also have a bunch of other full project examples available for download at:

Thanks! I will see it manually, 'cause the “new” scene crashes Unity. But I think that with the tip I’ll be going.
