Simple, with searching of the sdk and other entities that grab the
centerpoint..
Regardless of the origin brush..
Vector VecBModelOrigin( entvars_t* pevBModel )
{
return pevBModel->absmin + ( pevBModel->size * 0.5 );
}
this has always worked for me regardless of if the entity has an origin
brush.

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.
