How do you make something shoot on game maker?

I've been trying to make a Pong-like game for technology class using game maker but I need some help.
I want it so that when you hit the space button the left block/paddle thing shoots something at the ball to destroy it so that the other person loses a point.
I have a variable that keeps score but I can't figure out how to do the shooting...
How about exact words/names and super step by step instruction?
I'm using game maker because that's the program my school uses. I'd rather not fail the class...

Answer
Just a rough guess, but you will need to create a separate sprite/object for the "bullet". After that, add a create event that will start the bullet from the X/Y position of the paddle. You should be able to figure out the rest by yourself. If not, why are you using game maker?

I'm trying to make an RPG on Game Maker and I want it to have a turn based battle sequence that mimics the Pokemon system. Is it even possible?

Answer
I would recommend that you stop using Game Maker. It causes you to get into really bad programming habits. Learn a standard programming language like C++.
