How do I make objects orbit evenly?
How do I multiple objects orbit a brick evenly? So, if there are two satellites, they are on opposite sides. If three satellites, space between them is a third. All automatically.

You need to figure out how much to rotate each part in orbit, initially. Once they are placed you may continue to rotate each simultaneously.
A circle has 360º. The quotient of 360 and the number of parts is going to be the summand that will rotate each part in even relation to one another..
360/2 = 60
360/3 = 120
You may use a for loop to easily implement this into the step syntax;
for [variable] = [start],[finish],[step] do
--code
end
Code
Here is an example ;
01 | local reference = workspace.Part; --Part to orbit |
02 | local ps = 3; --Number of parts to orbit |
03 | local offset = 1; --Offset from the reference |
04 |
05 | for i = 1,360,360/ps do --Implement summand into step |
06 | local orig = reference.CFrame; |
07 | local rot = CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(i),0); --Assuming this is your axis |
08 | local dist = CFrame.new(0,0,-offset); |
09 | local p = Instance.new("Part"); |
10 | p.CFrame = orig*rot*dist; |
11 | p.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1); |
12 | p.Anchored = true; |
13 | p.Parent = workspace; |
14 | end |

So, I tried to combine your code with someone else's code to make it actually spin. But I am really bad at all this math and comprehension as you can tell, https://pastebin.com/raw/ruEvWHgF. They all end up orbiting at the same angle. Know why? devisings 58 — 5y
