I was visiting some of the old worlds, and I came to Test80 world, which
used to be a place where they tested the AW 3.1. There, I was just clicking
around until I finally encountered a shocking discovery (think talboid!) in
one of the object's action field:

create orbit 20 0 0 distance=5

Interesting concept. :) But I guess they no longer used it perhaps because
it failed to pass a test? No idea but that old useless action command from
3.1 beta or alpha sure sounds appealing to me. :) Now I will have to get
another lunch because I'm hungry again due to mentioning of "appealing"! =P

ya, that would be useful. and don't see whats so hard to implement about it,
it's position would just be cosine and sine of it's angle, multiplied by
however far away you want it. lazy people should put it in! :)

No, it IS actually sine and cosine.

just an experiment... I think Shamus found the command inscribed inside a
cave...

lol. What cave?

Perhaps AWI rented an office space in one of the cave previously occupied by
Newburyport Cavemen Company who was evicted? ;)

Or is the address, 95 Parker Street, really a cave? ;)

I think he meant that it was an old command that Roland might have put
in that never really worked. Thus the cave analogy. :P If you got
that, sorry.

You didn't start your first sentence with a capital letter. "Doesn't
make mistakes" indeed. :¬P

you can essentially do the same thing with the rotate command, given that
the axis is positioned correctly :-)

omg roland actually started that? I asked him if it was do-able, and he said
that the rotate command was already set up in a way that would make adding
that command very easy. (I asked him to put it in so i could add moons
rotating around the planets that are currently set up in the world
"planets")...

You'd just need to add some sort of axis translation to make it work
like orbit in the move command.

you could do that easily inside the rwx if you wanted to...

This would be more of a command catered towards public building worlds.
