Creating an OrbitingMovement Component

This component is similar to RotatingMovementComponent in that it is designed to make the components parented to it move in a particular way. In this instance, it will move any attached components in an orbit around a fixed point at a fixed distance.

This could be used, for example, for a shield that orbits around a character in an Action RPG.

How to do it...

1. Create a new SceneComponent subclass called OrbitingMovementComponent:

2. Add the following properties to the class declaration:

UCLASS( ClassGroup=(Custom), meta=(BlueprintSpawnableComponent) )
class CHAPTER_04_API UOrbitingMovementComponent : public USceneComponent
{
  GENERATED_BODY()

public: 
  // Sets default values for this component...
