Orbit Lands

Description
A huge planet with strong gravitational pull. It also comes with a tiny, orbiting moon and a space station which has normal gravity while you're inside. This level is really just a sandbox for playing around with the gravity rather a full-fledged level.

To use it, go to Scenario Battle and choose Orbit Lands.

Known bug list:
-People can't walk on the bottom side. They also can't be rotated to fit the orbit; they stay upright. This can't be fixed because of how the physics engine works.
-Drop ships fail at this. And no, rotating them didn't work either. They try to right themselves and end up flailing in circles.
-The game lags a bit when there are a few particles. Less for people unlike me that have more than 1 gigabyte of RAM, but still, it lags a bit. You can change this if you want in the Lua, but then the particles don't fall toward the planet, which is half the fun.
-It's a sandbox, there are no enemy spawnpoints. There never will be any because the enemies are not set up to use this gravity.
-Gravity in this works a bit differently than the normal CC gravity, so not all the physics will be the same.

For those of you that feel so inclined, you can change gravity from the console menu using the variable "gravity". It's at 0.25 by default.
For anybody programming in Lua, you can use this if you want. YES, it is possible to have multiple bodies that things rotate around with different gravities, but it will lag a bit more as you'll have to call the function GravitateMovableObject multiple times.
Also Bunmo says that this is called Alderaan. It had something to do with bragging.

List of fun things to do:
-Throw grenades into orbit.
-Set an actor's health to 0 while he's in orbit. ("HWEH HWURGH HWEH WHUH HERG HARG HWEH")
-Set gravity to 5 while a light soldier is standing on the planet's surface. Quicksand anyone?
-Attempt to place as many rockets into orbit as possible without them crashing.

Enjoy!

I lunched the granade with thumper and it flew around the planet 4 times and hit the bilding! Can you add one without a building?

Is it possible to make a bigger version of this?

Is there any way that we can edit the map before the scenario begins in a way similar to skirmish? If this was possible, we could remove the station or add in other objects as we please.

what is the command for changing gravity?

I like it, but GET RID OF THAT DAMN STATION!

Oh man, an old classic. I love this activity!

whats the point of the building there it just ruins the orbiting fun
