Making stage assets move in a circular motion

I'm currently working on a stage with Scepter, and he wants one of the animations to move in a circular motion.

I tried seeing if I can do this using the sin.x/y motions, but I couldn't get it moving in a perfect circle like I want. I was wondering what I'm missing here. Is there a certain CTRL I need to utilize? I admit I still struggle wrapping my head around that stuff.

You need to make X and Y use a different phase. Try this:

Code: 
sin.x = 20, 180, 0
sin.y = 20, 180, 90

Thank you Phantom! It turns out the base code I was using didn't have that third number value.

Did you get it to work? It turns out that that parameter is somewhat broken. X and Y apparently have shared phases so you can't make them different like that (works in Ikemen though).

It's looking to be working properly as of now. I sent Scepter another beta of the stage to make sure everything is working to his liking, but he's working on a piece for Pico Day on Newgrounds. I wanted to make sure he finishes that in time so I haven't heard back yet.

Another update Phantom, the coding you shared with me worked great in 1.1 and Scepter liked the result. But now, I'm working on a version of this stage for 1.0 and the asset is just moving back and forth diagonally.

I'm surprised that worked for you because it didn't for me. :S

You could try doing the sin motion as BGCtrl's, but I have a feeling that will have the exact same issue. The other option I guess is doing velocity and acceleration manually. I think each quarter of the circle would have its own starting velocity and acceleration, which each quarter picking up where the last one ends. Hard to explain.
