I actually wanted to see how long it would take for someone to say something like that, lol.

I got a funny image of some discoordinated nerd trying painstakingly to click on a zone planet and missing every time it moved.

Would be nice if we can use it on Zone. Imagine Zone players floating around when in the planet selection hehe.

Might be quite nice. Unfortunately, he's unwilling to share the script, so I'm sure you could script something similar, Dan

I don't think it's that complicated a script.

It seems like this script would be right up your street. You're good at pulling off cool effects. I'd have no idea where to start.

Just plug in a few physics formulas and move things accordingly.

To me, it's easier said than done. I don't have a mathematical mind. Something I plan on changing soon.

It's not, here's the central formula:

this.x = this.centerx - temp.radiusx * sin(temp.alpha);
this.y = this.centery - temp.radiusy * cos(temp.alpha);

Basic circle script.

temp.alpha for sin/cos?

So it's just a convenient effect and not running off of mass, velocity and such?

No need to get that advanced, really.

With sprites that big no but it'd be cool with tiny images a whole little universe of things rotating around eachother and randomly spawned projectiles.
