STATE_object_recenter_polygons

 

 


  *** could be sometimes useful
   Recenter the object polygons.
   Q: Why do we need this function ?
   A: Many operations like scaling the object are done around the object center
  		If we change the points of the object's polygons or move the polygons,
  		the object wont be anymore built arround 0,0,0 and so some operation like scaling might give
  		not the result that we expect.
  		by using this function the object is being rebuilt so that the polygons
  		point are defined around the object 0,0,0
  		The object will look the same way after calling this function as before !
  		but if calling STATE_object_get_location() you will get a different location
  		this is because the center is changed as well as the location of the polygons
  		but it is done in a way that the overall result is as if nothing has moved.
