objects with their own gravity inside a scene with zero gravity

afkaplan

Hi guys, I was wondering if it was even possible to:

Im trying to make a space situation where the player is in space with zero gravity and there is a planet with its own gravity. I want to make it so the player can approach the planet and get caught in orbit and just circle. The play will then be able to thrust off of the planet's gravity. Is this at all possible and if so could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Someone did something JUST like this for the TOTB comp

Also DBA made a template that is similar to.

Head over to www.deepblueideas.com or www.deepblueapps.com

You might be able to buy it there. They have a video provided as well.

Hope that helps.

hey thanks ozboy! I tried looking in the threads and on that site but i couldnt find anything... could you possibly find a like to the thread your talking about?

Thanks man !

anyone else have any ideas?

Clouds

Use magnitude to detect proximity to planet . . . . When close enough pull in with accelerate . . . . And then move in a circular path using constrain X to cosine and Y to Sine.
