Chook - How to Move solid To origin?

If the solid not at the origin, want to move to the origin,?

I found the translate_silent function, but is not work.

function method

translate_silent(&foundSolid,false,0, point1, point2, 1, 1, &succf,true);

 

thanks.

Try highlighting it and passing a null pointer as the first parameter

Thank you Sir.

Yes, you're right. I changed the first parameter to a null pointer, and the result was what I wanted

I add a note for future reference if you pass nullptr to the method it would crash, you have to do something like this:

DB_LIST_ENT_PTR e = nullptr;
mirror_silent(&e, true, false, mirrorVector, 1, &succf);

Dumb question

Why do you need a CHook?

We've have the Translate to Origin command which id dead simple to use and works perfectly.

Translate silent is just moving the part around, not necessarily to origin, this is just one step in a process of a chook with many steps, if I were to move to origin I might be moving a part from another plane or position, doing some operations then sending it back where it came from.

 

Some of the simplest chooks I made get the box of a part then center it in xy or something
