I am using DarkBasic Pro,
and I'm wondering how to get an object to orbit around a certain point?
At the moment, I'm using "POINT OBJECT objnum,OBJECT POSITION X(objnum),OBJECT POSITION Y(objnum),OBJECT POSITION Z(objnum)".

And then I type in "MOVE OBJECT LEFT objnum,speed",
the only problem is that the orbiting object moves out in
an orbit that is ever-increasing in size.

Does anyone know how to change this, or get a better method?
Thanks.

You could get the range
x=object position x(orbit point)
y=object position y(orbit point)
z=object position z(orbit point)
y2=object position y(orbiter)
z2=object position z(orbiter)
x2=object position x(orbiter)
range=sqrt((x-x2)^2+(y-y2)^2+(z-z20^2)
if range>10
range=10
print "The orbiter is at its maximum orbit"
endif

Thanks for the help!

I've actually found out how to do it using cosine and sine.
The code follows, to help other people:


Thanks again!
