Orbiting bubble shield Megaman style [Game Maker Studio 2 | Basics]
121This basics video tutorial shows you how to setup make a radial orbiting instance around a target in GameMaker Studio like you see in Megmana games
The idea is quite simple. You need an anchorpoint from where to simulate a radial movement around it. Next you define a radius that is being increased all the time and a distance from that anchor point. That is pretty much it.
I wasn't sure how to call this, so this could be the same: circular movement, circular movement around given point, object orbit, radial movement. All mean the same thing, you have one fixed point to rotate/orbit around.
