Orbit and Gravity Movement Blueprint

Great blue print. Just follow the 2 min tutorial then drag / drop vola !

Just a quick question/request , in the next update, would you be able to add more description to Orbitmovement BP
for example, you have some good examples here Screenshot by Lightshot
but still missing a few Screenshot by Lightshot

Also, i got some errors running the blueprints (sample map works just fine) . Where should i look into Screenshot by Lightshot ?

added: also, how do we speed up orbit speed / rate I have very large meshes and the small planet doesn’t look like orbiting Screenshot by Lightshot (although i think it does )

For the errors, it looks like you need to set the GravityMass ‘Owner’ property to the actor that you want the GravityMass to give gravity to. So, in your case, set the GravityMass owner to be your sun actor.If the Owner is blank it will throw out those errors. Ill add a check on startup to give a better formed error message.

I assume you are using the ‘Circular Orbit’ option, so if you want a planet in a circular orbit to orbit faster, you would need to give the sun more gravity. The “Standard Gravitational Parameter” option in the GravityMassActor defines the amount of gravitational force, so try increasing that. Also be sure to set the owner of the GravityMass actor to your sun.

For the 4.11 update, I will add a better error message for not having the GravityMass Owner defined, and add descriptions to the properties that are missing them.
