Hello All!
Today and Yesterday I am trying to make my Planetary Orbit Module far more advanced but I have came across an issue. In my module right now I have two functions the circular orbit function and the eccentricty orbit function. Eccentricty works well but the circular not so much. In the circular the planet orbiting goes through a really bumby orbit.Sometimes the planet that I want to move goes off course somewhere else.It is supposed to be a perfect circle.
How I want it to act : How I want it to act
What’s happening now : Whats happening right now
Current Code
--Code Made By Tomroblox54321 and IlyasTawawe
--Eccentricty Code made tweaked by Creeperman16487
--All gave permission to use code in the module
--Hope you Enjoy!

Thanks for any help!
