on the orb objects attach a script that has t$$anonymous$$s

 public Transform targetObject; // your player
     Vector3 rotationMask = new Vector3(0, 1, 0); 
     public float rotationSpeed = 5.0f;
 
 void Update()
 {
    transform.rotateAround(targetObject.transform.position, rotationMask, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
 }

2 things. 1.Would this work if i put this in javascript format 2.Is there a way i can put this script on the character that summons the orb or does the script have to be on the orb at all times in order work?

if the orbs are summoned as children of the player you could do transform.child.transform.rotateAround(etc.) i think it would make more sense to have it on the orbs though.

and yes, this will work in javascript as well
