I don't know what Orreries Sun is for this character and I can't be bothered with trying to figure out the point of all of those variables in the posset code (this is where the rotation is being emulated). If it wasn't posset, I would tell you to add a constantly increasing value to the X parameter's value, but then facing becomes an issue.

It would be easier if you were to bind the above helper to a different, blank helper that was, in turn, bound to the root. Then, all you would need to do is add velocity to the blank helper and its rotating children would follow it.

Go into the code library. Look up the oroboros code in the code archive thread. This uses bind to parent.

Create a helper, have it create your circle movement helpers which bindtoparent (code is pretty clear) and have the original helper do the movement.

I have used this in my unfinished Shuma for mystic stare.
