Function: vector llGetCenterOfMass( );

Returns the vector position of the object's center of mass in region coordinates.

If called from a child prim, the child's center of mass is returned instead (but still in region coordinates).

Works in physical objects only.
- In non-physical objects Center Of Mass is not computed.
- Either the last computed value or llGetPos() is returned.
- The value is stored as a prim property and will only change when Center Of Mass is computed.
- The value is not changed by script reset or deletion.
