Extension: Orbiting Objects
Introducing another new extension for GDevelop: Orbiting Objects!
Run this extension on every frame to make the orbiting objects move.
This extension will create/delete orbiting objects to match the quantity specified.
Use the delete function or set the quantity to 0 to remove orbiting objects.
Extension parameters include:
- Center object
- Orbiting object (cannot be the same object used for the Center object)
- Number of orbiting objects
- Distance from the center object
- Speed of the orbiting objects (degrees per second). Use negative numbers to orbit counter-clockwise.
- Speed to rotate each orbiting object (degrees per second). Use negative numbers to rotate counter-clockwise.
Example uses:
- Make shield objects around the player to protect from enemies
- Weapons that damage enemies when they collide
- Can be used on both player and NPC objects
- A visual indicator of ammo quantity or health points
- Interesting animations that can function as a pulsating single entity (using short distances)
- Visual cue for character power-ups such as invincibility

cool but the offset slider doesnt work, possibly because the objects are destroyed when they leave the frame
It's probably because I don't explain exactly what the offset does. The crystals have a static offset of 0, while the dinos have an offset set by the slider. The offset will make it so that the objects are no longer overlapping each other.
I also set the quantity to zero when you change the offset because it only takes effect when the quantity changes.
oh ok! I was just a bit confused as to how it works, thanks for the help.
