Caveats

Section titled “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

Section titled “Examples”
Example 1
default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llOwnerSay("Geometric center of the object relative to the root prim: " + (string)llGetGeometricCenter());
    }
}

Notes

Section titled “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.

Known issues
