I tried using kinematicBody2d but I’m struggling to switch the angle of the gravity while rotating
extends KinematicBody2D
var RotateSpeed = 4
var Radius = Vector2.ONE*174
var MinRadius = 45
var _distanceToPivot
var _center = Vector2(180,320)
const GRAVITY = -200.0
var _angle = 0
var velocity = Vector2()
var gravityDir
var floorNormal = Vector2()
func _ready():
set_process(true)
func _physics_process(delta):
_distanceToPivot = _center-self.position
gravityDir = _distanceToPivot*GRAVITY
_angle += 2*PI*delta / float(RotateSpeed)
_angle = wrapf(_angle,-PI,PI)
var pos = Vector2()
pos.x = _center.x+cos(_angle)*Radius.x
pos.y = _center.y+sin(_angle)*Radius.y
velocity.y += GRAVITY * delta
var motion = velocity * delta
#velocity.x += gravityDir.x *delta
#self.position = pos
motion = move_and_slide(motion, _distanceToPivot.normalized())
print(_distanceToPivot)
Can’t figure out a matter of question.

I would keep gravity as a force (note that the code about to be shown may not work for your circumstances). You can use the .rotated function to rotate a velocity (at least, from my understanding).
var gravity_speed = 100
var rot_dir = 42
var velocity = Vector2()
func _physics_process(delta):
velocity = Vector2(gravity_speed, 0).rotated(rot_dir)
Also note that the above code is not tested, sorry if it doesn’t work.
The code was inspired by code from the Tanks project from Kidscancode (thanks a lot).

why do you even need an angle?
you have a center of gravity, the force is proportional to object.position-center_of_gravity.position, the direction is embedded in this vector
