How to make a object orbit another object.

We are going to make a object orbit another object and orbit it around where ever he goes. To start, we put this in the create event:
code:

orbit_angle = 500;
orbit_radius = 50;
orbit_speed  = 10;

I will explain this more in a minute, orbit_angle is going to be the angle of the orbiting object. Orbit_radius is going to be the radius (how big) of the orbit. And orbit_speed is going to be how fast it will go when in orbit.
Here is the next code and it goes in the step event:
code:

orbit_angle += orbit_speed;
x = obj_player.x + orbit_radius * cos(orbit_angle * pi / 360);
y = obj_player.y - orbit_radius * sin(orbit_angle * pi / 360);

This is all you need to do to make the object angle. You can always change the values of orbit_angle and orbit_radius to get a different orbit. If you look at the code in the step event you can see its pretty easy to understand.

Make sure that you change obj_player to what ever name it is for the object that you want to be orbited.
