Hi all,

bit of a trig nightmare for me this!

Essentially, I am trying to rotate an object on a user-defined, dynamic origin.

I have found loads of code examples to make an object *orbit* a dynamic pivot point but that's not what I'm after.

Can any Maths geniuses help? I've been stumped for literally days!

Thank you!

John

R0J0hound You absolute hero! That seems to work a *treat*
In case you were wondering, it's for this game I'm making (video): https://twitter.com/johnevelyn/status/724945771670437889

For anyone else, here's a capx of the working solution:
