jumping while in orbit around another actor?

evert

Hi all,

I'm here again with another question

I would like to jump while i'm orbiting around another actor (lets call him sun)
I followed the tutorial "Orbit around a point or actor in GameSalad tutorial" on youtube for the rotating.
But now i want my rotating thingy (lets call that one earth) to jump when touch is pressed.

The normal way to make things jump doesn't seem to work.. because of the rotation i think? .. so any other idea's?

Kind regards

When touch is pressed increase the radius of the orbit and then decrease the radius of the orbit . . . . . result = an orbiting jump !

Hold on, let me make you a quick demo . . . .

Thank you very much!
It seems to be easier than I thought

Yep, it's pretty straightforward stuff, glad it works for you.

I had to look a bit because it was a bit different from the youtube tutorial, but it works great!
thanks again!
