Object changing layers while rotating!

Hello to GS Community,

I would like to make an object rotating around a point. I know how to do that but I would like while rotating to go in front of one specific object and then in back of this object. Imitating object orbiting around a planet, while observing it from a side-view.

Thank you for your suggestions.

    You can't change layers.

    I think I did a test for this ages ago (I mean like 2 or 3 years ago !) I will see if I can dig it out . . . . .

    Here's an unfinished 3 object system that uses the same basic idea.

    Thank you @Socks‌

    It is useful to me.

    Is there any way to make the orbiting object stop after making 360 for 5 seconds for example then start orbiting again and stop and orbit and etc.... I am trying to find a workaround but to no avail.

    Ha! :) Just joking, it's easy enough, I'll post a demo later.

    Here's a quick example, hopefully it's some use.
