Orbit and Gravity Movement Blueprint

Yes, that video uses the Orbit and Gravity System (the blueprint plugin that is updated to version 4.15), but also requires engine source modification, so that functionality isn’t technically supported until the engine changes are incorporated into Unreal’s code. A thread discussing the engine changes needed is here: Dynamic gravity for characters - C++ - Epic Developer Community Forums

The other project on the store, Orbital Mechanics and Gravity Plugin, is a C++ version. I created it for performance reasons since the plugin requires a lot of math each Tick, but now that blueprints can be baked into c++ I don’t see any reason to use this C++ version.

The gravitymassactor is not in the project, instead there is a gravity mass component which I assume is used instead that is added to actor blueprints. I’m modifying the source code right now. So the updated 4.15 version in blueprints has all the same functionality as the plugin without requiring the plugin?
