Summary
Function: vector llGetGeometricCenter( );| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns the vector that is the geometric center of the object relative to the root prim.
Caveats
The "geometric center" is different from the "center" in viewer's build tools and also different from what llRezObject considers to be the "center" of a linkset.
Examples
Notes
- The "geometric center" is the average of all linked prim centers. Mathematically, it's the root-relative positions of all linked prims in the linkset added together and divided by the number of prims in the linkset.
