How to Make an Object Orbit a Point?

-effortIess-

Yeah it’s in the title. Basically, I want “spawners” in my game to circle around a point. I know there’s trig for this I just always forget it.

Fear no more, you can no longer forget

define rotate around point: (x) (y) speed: (s) radius (r)
change [dir v] by (s)
go to x: ((x) + (([sin v] of (dir)) * (r))) y: ((y) + (([cos v] of (dir)) * (r)))

You can use this block like this:

forever
rotate around point: (0) (0) speed: (5) radius (50) :: custom

Hope this helps! this post took forever to make because of “ unsuitable language ”

I recommend reading jvvg's essay about the scratch team before complaining, as it may change your opinion and provide insight on the topic.

coming soon :)
