orbit around point with key controls

SEMA

I know this have been covered many times but I want to do a project: let's say if the mouse button is down the actor will orbit clockwise and if I release it counter clockwise.

Constrain X to radius*cos(self.rotation)+X centre point
Constrain Y to radius*sin (self.rotation)+Y centre point

When mouse button is down:
--Rotate Clockwise
Otherwise
--Rotate Counter-Clockwise

Smoother version (a less mechanical change in direction)

Constrain X to radius*cos(self.rotation)+X centre point
Constrain Y to radius*sin (self.rotation)+Y centre point

When mouse button is down:
--When Angular Velocity > -90
----Constrain Angular Velocity to Angular Velocity-5
Otherwise
--When Angular Velocity < 90
----Constrain Angular Velocity to Angular Velocity+5

Here is another simple way:

In the actor, under Motion, set the X to some offset like 200, and Pin to on.
Then use the rotate behavior:

Rule: If mouse is pressed
         Rotate Clockwise
Otherwise
         Rotate CounterClockwise
End rule
