Great work on those projects. I'm very impressed with the News at Seven video. :-) Just don't take up a career in comedy any time soon! ;-) --TomEdwards 11:27, 12 Aug 2006 (PDT)

Haha, thanks. Yeah, I gotta tell you, though, it's always a crowd-pleaser during demos when she calmly goes back to the news after blasting the zombie. Thanks a lot for all your work documenting FacePoser. We're in the process of moving everything into .VCDs and out of our own over-socket "scripting" language, and I have a feeling your wiki pages will end up being invaluable.--Ndnichols 11:49, 12 Aug 2006 (PDT)

Fire Completion vs. Fire Trigger

Could you possibly look into the differences between these, aside from each firing a different LCS output of course? There's got to be a reason to have two events for the same job. Cheers. --TomEdwards 08:34, 16 Aug 2006 (PDT)

It looks like to me Fire Completition is the way you fire the LCS' Completion Output, and you use Fire Trigger to fire one of the other eight Outputs. It's a little weird I guess to have two different ways of firing outputs, but they seem qualitatively different; you'd use one of the eight for exterior elements of your script (an explosion at a certain time or whatever) and the Completion to signal, well, completion :-) --Ndnichols 11:40, 16 Aug 2006 (PDT)
