Exactly. I don't want the origin brush [origin] though. I thought I made that clear. The exact center point of a brush based entity is not necessarily identical to the entity's origin brush.
If you have a 500x500x500 unit box, and the mapper puts the origin brush at one of it's corners, obviously the origin wouldn't return the true center of the model. It'd return where-ever the entity's origin brush resides. Hence the problem of trying to find the exact center point of a brush based model that has an origin brush. -Sniper ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason 'Ikkyo' Gripp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 1:55 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Finding the true center point of an entity > pev->origin will be the center of the brush based entity if it has an origin > brush.
