Orbiting without rotating inner node

Loen10

I want my node (horizontal rectangle) to travel in a circle. Tutorials I've read say to place the rectangle in a "pivot" node, offset the rectangle to the desired radius, and then rotate the pivot node. But I don't want my rectangle to rotate as it travels along the circumference of the circle; I want it to remain horizontal the entire time. Any idea how I could do this?

By script, by counter rotating, by copying transform, there are many ways, check in the test project.

You can do it with a circle equation manually:

object.position.x = circle_center.x + cos(angle) * circle_radius;
object.position.y = circle_center.y + sin(angle) * circle_radius;

Then just add some value to angle in your process or physics process function.
