So I made a 3D pong game and both paddles have to be controlled by someone. I wanted for one of the paddles to be able to move by itself. The ball's z and x coordinates are in variable form as well as the paddle's z position. I would appreciate any help as this is the first time I ask for it. I try to do everything myself, but I cant find a way around this. Thanks for any help.

Each time you move the ball, you have it's Z position. All you need to do is move the computer's paddle towards it.

If the ball is moving a little faster than the speed of the paddle then there's a possibility for the paddle to miss.

If the paddle is the same speed or faster than the ball then the paddle will never miss and the game will be unbeatable.
