This?



Try this: Double click your sun actor in the inspector (or on the scene). In the Attributes section go to the Motion section click on it. Under the Angular Velocity you can adjust the rotation numerically. For example -20 will make it rotate clock wises and 20 will rotate counter clockwise. To get the speed you desire, just adjust the number. You can do the same with your earth.

Where is the above tutorial? There are ways to move rotating actors, but let's see what you are referring to.

Any idea how you can add more than one earth to orbit around the sun? I want to test this with let's say 6 planets orbiting the sun at the same speed and the same distance, but they all end up stuck on top of each other. Maybe some kind of offset to spread the planets out?
