Ball launches when i push play

[damionwdavis]

After i added the following, the ball just falls off the paddle right when i push play in unity.
It also just falls off when i cycle through game over, and start new game screens.

void Update()
{
if (!hasStarted)
{
LockBallToPaddle();
LaunchOnMouseClick();
}
}

private void LaunchOnMouseClick()
{
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
        hasStarted = true;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(2f, 15f);
    }
}

If the ball is just rolling off the paddle the problem most likely lies with the LockBallToPaddle method and not the one you are showing here. With what is provided all I can suggest is for you to double check that method and to double check the hasStarted bool to make sure it isn’t defaulted to true.
