Set the Mass for the central Mass. Higher values will cause faster Orbit Speeds.

Here you can add Orbits to your Orbiting Object by adding a SubOrbitStructure Array (+).
You can also set the Mass and Speed Scale for your Orbiting Object here (that will be the center of the newly created Sub Orbit).

Select the material Orbit. The Material has to be compatible with the selected Orbit Mesh Type (see example Materials).

the orbit material can be individually hidden or shown by this option.

rotate the Orbiting Object itself around the XYZ axis.

rotate the Orbit around the XYZ Axis around its central Object

Set the amount of Days the orbiting Object has per orbit around its center.
0 = tidally locked to its central Object

Set the starting point for the Orbiting Object from 0° to 360°.

Scale the Orbit, if you don’t want to change Orbit Size.

Set the Actor that will be used in the center or the Orbit System

This Option scales the speed of the Orbit. Use this, if you don’t want to change the Mass.

Precalculates, where the Orbits should be in the set amount of time (ingame seconds). This is not 100% accurate, especially for elliptical Orbits.

Rotate the Central Mass Actor along the XYZ Axis.

Optional name for the orbit.

Set the amount of eccentricity the orbit has. 0 = no eccentricity and 1 = max eccentricity.
Important: Eccentric (elliptical) Orbits cause more calculations in animation and dynamic materials.

Set the size of the Orbit in unreal Units.

expand and add Array Element (+) to add Level 1 Orbits (Orbits around the Central Mass Actor)

Select the Object for the specific Orbit. It will also be the central Mass for Orbits that are made around it.
