How do: sprite orbit around another sprite?

Hi Community for wonderful people,

How does one go about - getting a sprite to orbit around another sprite?

I've asked this historically, but my question seems to have vanished.

I also found https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-classic/help-support-using-construct-38/object-orbit-around-33428 but not sure I fully understand it :(

Thanks,

Roberto

just have a look at my capx

Most impressive sizcoz.

How do I alter the satellite to rotate 360... rather than elliptical?

if I alter the orbit_height/width I don't get the 360 :(

Ok

For this example, if you wanted to circle around the circumference of a sprite which is 100 x 100, and is in the centre of a layout which is 480 x 640 you would do the following.

50*cos(sprite_angle)+240

50*sin(sprite_angle)+320

Hope this helps.

Thanks sizcoz ;)

Hi sizcoz,

Is it possible to get it orbiting without the slider-bars?

I've tried this and the motion stops dead.

I tried to set the global variables in Every Tick

from

Set orbit_width to width.Value

to

Set orbit_width to 0

it's okay, figured it out ;)
