How to make a part float around a point?

[bunnyhoppasociety (silva haze)]

Hello.

I am trying to make a part rotate around a point. The point in this case is the dummy. I am trying to make the part rotate around the dummy in a loop, which I’ll use a server-script for using while true do. Does anybody know how to?

Putting an Object in Orbit

Orbital.rbxl (14.1 KB) Made a fun example of oval orbits Can even make earth orbit the sun too Orbital.rbxl (14.3 KB) @buildthomas I dont think speed should be constant on an oval orbit anyways.

How to make a part orbit another part?

Orbits are a rather vague concept due to various methods of CFrame manipulation. To form a generic circular orbit, we need to define a couple of constants: Origin; where does the orbit center around? Radius; how far away is the object doing the orbiting? Speed; how many radians does the object complete in one second? If this takes place on the server, we should use RunService’s Heartbeat which runs every frame at 30Hz. We could use traditional infinite loops and waits, but server lag probably…

Orbit around moving object?

You would do: CFrame.new(PartToOrbit.Position) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(RotStep), 0, 0) * CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)

Run it through for loop and use
Local Angle = math.deg(a * math.pi*2 / Totalnumberofpoints )
Local radius = 5
And then X,z = math.cos(Angle)*radius,math.sin(Angle)*radius
Correct me if I’m wrong
