How can do I spawn a new sprite in a certain x and y coordinate?

My teacher is having us create a clone of breakout, and I wanted to have a new instance of the ball sprite spawn in the middle of the screen when the space bar is hit. I have tried using the "spawn sprite" event, but I do not know how to specify an x and y coordinate.

"Spawn" is used when you want objectA to create objectB. For example: an enemy drops a coin. ObjectB will be spawned at the same coordinates as objectA.

If you simply need to create a ball in the center of the screen, use "System Create object" action.

This is not the most effective way of handling this, but you could create an invisible object in the middle of the screen and say:

On 'space' is pressed = 'middle object' spawn ball

I hope this helps!
