you mean use trig?  Just have an angle that's set to point towards the center.  As that variable is increased, his direction should also, so you simply need:

x=sin(direction) * distance wanted
y=cos(direction) * distance wanted

If this what you meant, then great!  But I don't think it is, so could you elaborate?

You mean orbit? What if you just move that center cross thing to the point you want it to orbit around

I don't think you can

Yes, like that.

Just too lazy to do math today.

I just want a really simple thing without any moving around, just orbiting around a center. Must use an original x/y position and a formula to calculate where it goes (not just simply moving a certain distance away from origin).

Yes, yes I am really, really tired today.

For a given orbited point (oX,oY), distance above the orbited point (h), and distance from the orbited point(d), the co-ords for the orbiting object are (oX±√(d²-h²),oY+h) and the angle is asin(H/d).

I think.

I'm guessing I have to do something with distance?

And anyone know how to find the cube root of something?
