Rotating One NodePath Around Another (by drwr)

[bigfoot29]

I guess we should put a page on this in the manual; it does come up from time to time.

In a nutshell:

planet = loader.loadModel('planet')
moon = loder.loadModel('moon')

orbitRing = NodePath('orbitRing')
orbitRing.reparentTo(planet)
orbitRing.setPos(100, 0, 0)
moon.reparentTo(orbitRing)

def doOrbit(task):
  orbitRing.setH(task.time)
  return Task.cont

I suggest taking a look at the solar system demo program for more details.

So it can be accessed easily.
