Issues with wall collision in "pong" game

[Jmarlin3]

The paddle I created will not bounce off the walls and reflect back down on the y-axis. The player has control of the paddles, but when it hits the wall, the paddle bounce down and you continue playing.

[/CODE]
if keyboard_check(vk_up) vspeed = -3;
if keyboard_check(vk_down) vspeed = 3;
//Collion with wall
if (place_meeting(x,y+vsp,o_wall))
{
while (!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),o_wall))
{
y = y + sign(vsp);
}
vsp = -vsp;
}
y = y + vsp;

Please help and thank you in advance.

You are using vspeed and vsp at the same time? That won't work very well. vspeed will ignore what you do with vsp.

This is true. Doesn't help that I'm certain game maker autochanged your "vsp" to "vspeed"

Also little side note:
I think you forgot to put

[code]

at start of your code.
