How To Orbit Off Axis ?

Jel

I currently have this as my orbit rule which works well.

But I'm trying to get the actor to orbit off axis kind of link a satellite would. Does anyone know the best way to do this ?

Thanks Jel

Also what's wrong with my image link ¿¿¿

Jel

Image posting doesn't seem to be working so the expression I'm using is.

self.PositionX - 60*cos( self.Time *100%360)+160

self.PositionY - 120*sin( self.Time *100%360)+240

Have you tried changing the +240 in your sin code?

Just an idea (not sure if this is correct)

Instead of 240 why not try having a game.attrbute (integer)

Then have a rule setup that interpolates that attribute from 120 to 240 and back again. (or something like that)

Bit messier than one line of code though.

self.PositionY - 120*sin( self.Time *100%360)+game.satellite_orbit.

Thanks guys,

It needs a little cleaning up on my end but adding a attribute and interpolating it seems to work pretty well.

Is there a problem with posting images into posts at the moment ?

you need to add this at the end of the <img parameter: />

Thanks ORBZ,

I'll try and absorb the above links tomorrow when my brain hurts less.
