Solved Move entity in a circle (Need math help)

Hi, I want to move an entity in a circle, where the midpoint a specific Location is. How can I do that?
I want to teleport the entity every tick for that. But what's the formula?

Code:

    Location entityloc;
        Location midpoint;
double radius = midpoint.distance(entityloc);
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, new Runnable(){
 
            @Override
            public void run() {
           
               //Cockwise, start circle from entity loc around midpoint with radius radius
            }}, 1, 1);

 

Use the parametric equation of a circle
x=cx+r*cos(a)
y=cy+r*sin(a)

r=radius
cx,cy=origin
a=angle from 0 to 2π radians or 0 to 360 degrees.

just increment the angle

 

bobacadodl Buuuut, what's the angle on start? f.e. M(10,10,10) E(12,10,9)
E is the Entities loc, M is the midpoint. What's the angle here?

 

Math.atan2(y-cy, x-cx) = angle


so in your case M(10,10,10) E(12,10,9)
You dont need the Y coord since your plane is X and Z

Math.atan2(12-10,9-10); = angle in radians

i think....

Havent done trig in a while

 

Wert? Seems like it would cause tons of lag.

 

Yeah, it could... :/ There's no better way AFAIK to do what he wants though.

Hopefully, there arent too many of these mobs moving in circles at once.
