Calculating the center of subObjects in Maxscript

Question

I have a set of polygons selected (called myFaces). After that, I know I must convert the selection to vertices with

verts = polyop.getVertsUsingFace $ myFaces

and then apply any transformation using the center of those verts.

How do I calculate the center of those vertices?

Edit: I specifically need to use vertices and not faces.

Answer 1

There's no shortcut, you have to calculate the center yourself, i.e.

fn getSubObjCenter obj verts center:[0, 0, 0] =
(
    for vert in verts do
        center += polyOp.getVert obj vert node:obj
    center / verts.numberSet
)

obj = selection[1]
verts = polyOp.getVertsUsingFace obj #all
getSubObjCenter obj verts
