Is there any way to make a sprite orbit around another one? im trying to have a boss fire an invisible projectile with 4 others orbiting around it in a circle. Is this possible without using the animation block?

Maybe something like this?

Youā€™d almost definitely want to smooth it out a bit ā€“ e.g. maybe make it so the on game update sets a ā€˜target angleā€™ on the sprite as sprite data, and another loop that goes over and moves them towards target angle, so that they donā€™t just ā€˜snapā€™ to the new locations, and also add some logic for when to add new ones into the pool / make it so they aim at the player, but I tried to keep it pretty simple as a starting point :slight_smile:

Iā€™m using my jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util extension just to make the code a little simpler with ā€˜place at angleā€™ blocks / handle conversion from degrees to radians

Definitely! I donā€™t think i can show a concise solutionā€¦ if you send the code I can try and add it myself!

Thanks for this! This opens up a whole new world for me. I was planning on making a game similar to static florr.io, but I couldnā€™t figure something out to make rotation until I saw this forum.
