Rotate more than one same spot?

VGX

I know TSB has a tut on orbit around point.
But how do you make 4 or more (but lets just say 4) objects rotate around the same spot?

example,

VGX

can someone please help. thanks

I assume you already have the one actor (from TSB's demo) that is working? If yes then make 3 copies of the prototype and modify actors 2, 3, and 4 as follows.

#2
Constrain Attribute: self.Position.X To: 100*cos(90+( self.Time *-200%360))+ game.sunX
Constrain Attribute: self.Position.Y To: 100*sin(90+( self.Time *-200%360))+ game.sunY

#3
Constrain Attribute: self.Position.X To: 100*cos(180+( self.Time *-200%360))+ game.sunX
Constrain Attribute: self.Position.Y To: 100*sin(180+( self.Time *-200%360))+ game.sunY

#4
Constrain Attribute: self.Position.X To: 100*cos(270+( self.Time *-200%360))+ game.sunX
Constrain Attribute: self.Position.Y To: 100*sin(270+( self.Time *-200%360))+ game.sunY

As you can see, all you need to do is put is change the offset angle you want the the actors to be advanced to.

Just in case you don't get the numbers; 360 / 4 (the number of actors rotating around) = 90, so have 90, 180, 270, 360.
