To check that you have the correct font file, compare the font version of your font file to the font version provided in the Release Notes section below.
HistoryDesigned by Eric Gill and released by the Monotype Corporation between 1928 and 1930, Gill Sans is based on the typeface Edward Johnston, the innovative British letterer and teacher, designed in 1916 for the signage of the London Underground. Gill's alphabet is more classical in proportion and contains his signature flared capital R and eyeglass lowercase g. With distinct roots in pen-written letters, Gill Sans is classified as a humanist sans serif, making it very legible and readable in text and display work. The condensed, bold, and display versions are excellent for packaging or posters.
Menu Names And Style Linking
In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The italic and the bold weight fonts of the set (if any) are not shown in the font menu, but can still be accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic and bold style buttons. In this family, such programs will show only the following base style font names in the menu:
Gill Sans Std
Gill Sans Std Bold ExtraCond
Gill Sans Std Condensed
Gill Sans Std ExtraBold
Gill Sans Std ExtraBold Display
Gill Sans Std Light
Gill Sans Std Light Shadowed
Gill Sans Std Shadowed
Gill Sans Std UltraBold
Gill Sans Std UltraBold Cond
The other fonts in this family must be selected by choosing a menu name and then a style option following the guide below.

On the Mac OS operating system, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also select fonts by means of style links. Selecting a base style font and then using the style links (as described above for Windows applications) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe® PageMaker® software, although it is unnecessary with more sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator®, Photoshop® or InDesign® software.
One should not, however, select a base font which has no style-linked variant, and then use the bold or italic styling button. Doing so will either have no effect, or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of the base font, which will usually produce inferior screen and print results.

Ex-Guatemala president extradited to US
GUATEMALA CITY Former Guatemalan President Alfonso Portillo was extradited on Friday to the United States to face charges of laundering $70 million in Guatemalan funds through U.S. bank accounts.
The former president was taken from a military hospital where he was recovering from liver surgery and a heart condition and put on a plane, according to his lawyer Mauricio Berreondo. He said the plane was bound for New York, where he is also charged with embezzling $1.5 million in foreign donations intended to buy school library books in Guatemala.
"I blame the government for what could happen to him," Berreondo said. "Portillo is sick and there are several pending appeals."
He said one appeal had to do with establishing the state of Portillo's health.
Deputy Foreign Minister Rita Claverie said that both the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court had notified the government there are no pending appeals in his case.
Portillo, who was Guatemala's president from 2000 to 2004, was taken out of the hospital on orders of Interior Secretary Mauricio Lopez Bonilla, Berreondo said.
An Associated Press reporter saw a small white jet carrying Portillo, 61, dressed in a black sweatshirt take off late morning local time.
"This decision is an important affirmation of the rule of law and due process in Guatemala," the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala said in a statement. "We commend the Guatemalan authorities in the strengthening of rule of law and the fight against organized crime and corruption."
In brief remarks to a local radio station, Portillo said his extradition was illegal.
"This is a kidnapping," he said.
Portillo was turned over to U.S. authorities in the same week that the high court threw out a genocide conviction in another high-profile case against an ex-president, former dictator Efrain Rios Montt. That decision that has been widely questioned and criticized, including in the United States.
For Michael Shifter, president of the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based think tank, Portillo's extradition comes as a relief to the government.
"It comes at moment when the government is under a lot of criticism and this is something they can point to as an example of them being serious about fighting crime and adhering to the rule of law," Shifter said.
Guatemala has been struggling to build a credible justice system, including with the help of a U.N.-sanctioned team of international prosecutors.
For Oscar Vasquez, director of the non-governmental organization Citizen Action, Portillo's extradition shows the difficulties the country's justice system is facing.
"As in the case of genocide in Guatemala, the justice system shows signs of chaos, confusion and disorder, given that we no longer know who is right, the state for extraditing him or his defense lawyers," Vasquez said.
"It seems that we are left to rely on the justice of others," he added, referring to the United States.
Human rights activist Claudia Samayoa said the extradition comes as a distraction away from the case of Rios Montt. Samayoa was one of about 2,000 people who marched Friday to protest the annulment of Rios Montt's conviction.

How to Build Your Dream Franchise
Protect the brand.
Despite his independent streak, Tankel says he always focuses on serving the collective interests of the Applebee's franchise. "I sit on other boards of franchises, and I make sure franchisees do exactly what they are supposed to do," he says. "You want to be very careful about what you do with the brand, because you don't want to destroy your business. I sit on both sides of that desk."

Cooking with Linux - It's About Time!
Time, François...it's all about time. Yes, I'll explain in a bit, but for now, time is running out and our guests will be here shortly. Just make sure the main server is updated against the reference time server. Forget that, mon ami. I'm sure it's accurate, and besides our guests have arrived! To the cellar, immédiatement! Head to the South wing and bring back the 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape, the Guigal we were sampling earlier this evening. I will show our guests to their tables.
Welcome, mes amis to Restaurant Chez Marcel, home of great wine, exquisite Linux and open-source fare and, of course, world-class guests. Please, sit down and make yourselves comfortable. I've sent François to the cellar to bring back tonight's wine selection, and he should be back shortly. You may notice an overabundance of timepieces on your respective desktops, so I'll start with a little movie history, by way of explanation.
I'm going to pretend that some of you are old enough to remember the 1960 George Pal movie version of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine. In the movie, George, the H.G. character, has a room filled with ticking clocks of every kind: cuckoo clocks, grandfather clocks—you name it—no digital clocks though. If you don't remember that, perhaps you remember Robert Zemeckis' 1985's Back to the Future, starring Michael J. Fox. Doc Brown, played by Christopher Lloyd, has his own lab full of ticking clocks. Guess which one takes its inspiration from the other? Take a look at Figure 1, mes amis, and you'll see a Linux desktop version of George's Victorian home or Doc Brown's lab—depending on your video memory.
Some of you may be asking yourself why people would possibly want another clock on their system. After all, both KDE and GNOME have a clock embedded in their panels. Click on the clock, and a nice little calendar pops up, as in my desktop screenshot (Figure 1). Clocks are cool though, and some are more cool than others. On today's menu, I have several clocks for your enjoyment. From the super-stylish to the decidedly strange, you are bound to find something you like. Here is something you will definitely like and perhaps even love. My faithful waiter has just returned with the wine. Please pour for our guests, François.
While François pours the wine, I want you to take one more look at the clock in the lower right-hand corner of my KDE kicker panel. That's not the default KDE clock, but Fred Schättgen's StyleClock, a themeable replacement that includes an alarm clock and a countdown timer (your chef has used it to take little naps at his chair).
From the menu, you can set an alarm or a countdown timer. Both modes come with some one-click presets, but both the alarm and timer allow for a custom setting. Of course, we also can select themes for that special visual touch. I happen to like the analog styles, but StyleClock comes with both analog and digital themes. There's also the mandatory, super-geeky, binary clock.
Speaking of binary clocks, if you've been reading this column for a long time, you know that although I tend to run a KDE desktop, I still have an enduring fondness for Window Maker and its trademark dock apps. It is for this reason that I now direct your attention to Thomas "Engerim" Kuiper and Sune Fjod's wmBinClock. This slick little Window Maker dock app can display the time vertically or horizontally (horizontal is the default). You read the time by doing binary translation of LEDs that are either on (1) or off (0). When reading the time horizontally, the seconds are the two vertical rows of LEDs on the right. The two middle LEDs are minutes and so on. This is a great little application, and no, you don't need Window Maker to run it. It works just as well under KDE or GNOME.
Maybe you aren't running a graphical display, or you have a fondness for running things in a terminal window, but you would still like a binary clock. Nico Golde's BinClock displays the time in a terminal window. By default, the time is displayed similarly to wmBinClock (Figure 3), but this is a one-time display. To run the clock continuously, you must use the -l option to loop:
binclock -l
Use the -h option to see a number of command-line options that let you run the clock in a single-line or traditional mode or change the color of the ones and zeros. Of course, if you want to do straight text, you simply could type the date command in your terminal window. If you want a calendar for the current month, type cal. I do, however, want to focus on the desktop.

3 kids among 5 dead in fiery New York car crash
Sunday - 8/24/2014, 5:53pm EDT
BABYLON, N.Y. (AP) -- A woman, her three children and their grandmother were returning home from a family gathering when their car veered off a Long Island highway, crashed into a tree and burst into flames, killing all of them, authorities said Sunday.
Myriam Lebrun, 37, was traveling on the Southern State Parkway toward Brooklyn just before 11 p.m. Saturday when her Honda Accord left the westbound lanes near Exit 38 in Babylon and smashed into the tree, state police said.
All five family members in the car died. State police identified the other victims as 68-year-old Moise Yolande, 14-year-old Marcus Jeanty, 9-year-old Marcel Jeanty and 8-year-old Kayla Jeanty.
It was unclear why the car veered off the road.
"It looks like a combination of speed and we're investigating the possibility of alcohol," lead state police investigator Charles Knapp said.
Emergency responders and witnesses described heavy fire, with flames shooting into the sky.
"The front of the car was pretty much engulfed in flames," Robert Cabano, North Babylon first assistant fire chief, told Newsday. He said one passenger was found outside the car.
Thomas Bennett told CBS New York that he stopped his car, ran to the crashed vehicle and "tried to pull the body away from the fire, but it was too heavy."
He added, "And then the car was in flames and started popping, so everyone backed up."
On a quiet, tree-lined street in Brooklyn, a gentle breeze kept swinging open the front screen door of the family's semi-attached, two-story brick house in the Flatlands neighborhood. A hula hoop leaned against a porch wall.
A neighbor, Sarah Hogart, stood in front of her door, looking across the low, brick partition they shared.
"I just found out what happened; I'm so shocked," Hogart said.
She said the Haitian family had lived there for all three years since she herself moved into the working-class neighborhood of families, mostly of Caribbean origin.
The mother and grandmother "were very attentive to the kids, who were always playing outside, they were the life of the block, running up and down," said Hogart, adding that Kayla was especially "bubbly, always laughing."
Susana Moncoyo, a native of Peru who lives in an apartment under the family's house, said she saw the children playing in front of her door every day.
"Their mother was a very happy woman, always smiling," she said.
Moncoyo said the children's father did not live with them.
The crash shut down part of the Southern State Parkway for several hours. The westbound lanes of the highway, which were closed after the crash, reopened just after 3:30 a.m., the police said.

Undetected Virus
My computer began responding differently and programs began to disappear. I am running Symantec Endpoint with real time protection. It did not recognize the threat. I am now having to use a boot disk, which I created from Windows Defender Offline. I ran Windows Defender Offline, and it found DOS/Alureon.E, FakeSysdef, and Alureon.FE.
I removed the infected drive and placed it in a portable enclosure. I connected this drive to another computer with current Symantec definitions. Again, Endpoint did not locate the threat, but MS Essentials located the threat; however, MS Essentials was unable to remove DOS/Alureon.E.
Why was Symantec Endpoint unable to protect against these viruses? Thoughts?
It will be helpful to understand how to prevent this situation in the future.
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Was the SEP updated with the latest definition, were the components of SEP active while scanning?
the files are not cleaned by defender, can you submit those files to Symantec Securtiy response team using you support entitlement.
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
Kindly read the below link. It will help to sort out the virus issue.

Incase if there are certain Threat Files / Suspicious Files are not being detected by Symantec, it is advisable to follow the steps provided in the Article below:
Using Symantec Support Tool, how do we Collect the Suspicious Files and Submit the same to Symantec Security Response Team.
Also check this:
Scanning a file with a competitor's antivirus program detects a virus, but scanning with Symantec AntiVirus or Symantec Endpoint Protection does not

Don't forget to mark your thread as 'SOLVED' with the answer that best helped you.
Go to 'C' drive the document settings and application data and check any new folder with different name if you find that compressed to zip folder and submit to symantec as showen below link
If 1 threat doesn't detected it does not mean SEP doesn't detect the bootkit threats.
It might be possible SEP did miss this one..as suggested above Submit the file and symantec will release a defs for it.
To check a file if its getting detected by other threats or not you can use
threatexpert.com or virustotal.com where it will show you how many different antiviruses are detecting it.

Kyle Blanks, Troy Glaus wear the golden sombrero
Apr 8, 2010, 9:30 AM EDT
Stuff I missed in the recaps this morning: both the Padres' Kyle Blanks and the Braves' Troy Glaus went 0 for 4 with four strikeouts last night. I always like to see the clean statistical purity of a hitless, walkless four K performance. So clean, so satisfying on a perverse level.
I've only witnessed the rare platinum sombrero — which is five strikeouts — once, when Pat Burrell did it against the Braves a couple of years ago. Based on how bad Troy Glaus looks in the first two games this season I'll put even odds on him doing it before the first of May.
UPDATE: Josh Hamilton had a golden sombrero last night as well.
- lar @ wezen-ball - Apr 8, 2010 at 9:42 AM
In case you were wondering, Baseball Reference has record of 67 Platinum Sombreros. See here: http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/vRggX
I also expanded the search to find Platinum (or worse) Sombreros. That adds one extra game: http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/7VQ9N Sept 9, 1998, must've been a terrible day for Alex Gonzalez.
- Dan - Apr 8, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Josh Hamilton too
- Dave - Apr 8, 2010 at 11:09 AM
Heh, great work there lar… of particular note is Dick Allen, who wore the platinum sombrero playing for Philadelphia against St. Louis in 1964… and wore it again playing for St. Louis against Philadelphia, six years later.
He joins Alexis Rios as the only 2-time "winners".
- Heyward Who? - Apr 8, 2010 at 1:36 PM
I thought a five-K performance was referred to as the "Olympic Rings". Kind of prefer that… Anyone know the origin of the sombrero lingo?
- Route36West - Apr 9, 2010 at 7:33 PM
UPDATE : So does the greatest baseball player of all time, even though hes only played 4 games, the future Willie Mays / Joe DiMaggio Jason Heyward.

While facing the mayhem on Black Friday in Tupelo last week, my dad and I took a break, which means I immediately went to my phone to check up on things in the world of Twitter.
Puzzled, my dad took my phone and scrolled through, trying to see what exactly it is that I find enthralling about the application. I then made the mistake of trying to explain to him what Twitter is and how important it is for me for work, etc. Needless to say, the conversation ended with no success and my dad simply shaking his head and surrendering my phone.
I remember when I first heard about Twitter while watching the Super Bowl with some friends about three years back. I swore then that I would never use such a crazy thing that was described as "just like updating your Facebook status." Seeing as I hardly ever do that, why on earth would I use Twitter?
Slowly, I caved in, and it really is beneficial for me with work. Over 10,000 Tweets and 800 followers later, I'm completely obsessed and wonder how I ever functioned before using it.
The coolest thing for me using Twitter is that I have unlimited resources to finding out what I need to know about games and teams, which comes in handy when I'm limited to attending one game each night and want to keep up with everything else going on in the county.
Another thing I enjoy, the smack talk between schools. Mississippi State and Ole Miss have become infamous for this, using various hashtags (#HailState, #HottyToddy, and my personal favorite, #FeedMoncrief).
But this is not only limited to colleges. The Student Section Challenge began earlier this week, and the respective student sections that I watched, Ingomar (@IngomarStudents) and New Albany (@The_NA_FRA), use Twitter to keep the kids informed as to what they're doing for particular games….and to smack talk.
Both schools did an awesome job on the opening night of the challenge, and I'm looking forward to more excitement in the weeks to come with East Union, West Union and Myrtle.
In the meantime, keep hitting me up on Twitter (@ezaremba1618), and I'll enlighten you with useless sports knowledge and pictures of my dog.

While facing the mayhem on Black Friday in Tupelo last week, my dad and I took a break, which means I immediately went to my phone to check up on things in the world of Twitter.

Manufacturing companies in Catawba County have a new portal to the world and potential customers around the planet are already taking notice.
As part of a partnership between economic development companies in the Greater Hickory and the N.C. State Industrial Extension Service, the "Manufactured in N.C." website has hit the Internet, and it is already reaping results.
According to Catawba County Economic Development Corp. Existing Industries Coordinator Nathan Huret, manufacturing companies in Catawba County and statewide can visit the website, www.manufacturednc.com and enter specific details about their company. The free service offers even the smallest companies to have a web presence, and in the 21st century marketplace, that's important.
"If you are looking to buy anything, you do comparison shopping, and the world is your market place from a consumer standpoint," he said. "Companies do the exact same thing, but if you don't have a website or a complete website, you are missing out on a lot of opportunities."
To read more of this story, pick up the weekend print edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.
Im sure these companies will be flooded with orders from China
Well it costs somebody! (Bet it is the taxpayer, in the form of Coorporate Welfare!)

Should Michigan and Ohio State play for the National Title? Not do you WANT to see it, but should it happen?
And all this is assuming Rutgers loses at some point.
Should Michigan and Ohio State play for the National Title? Not do you WANT to see it, but should it happen?
And all this is assuming Rutgers loses at some point.

Yes, emphatically so.
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
"Some point" might be tonight for Rutgers.
I think Michigan deserves a chance as much as the other 1-loss teams. They probably are the 2nd best team in the country.
Personally, I think they should stop calling it the Nat'l championship though. It's the championship of 3 or 4 conferences. I don't see anybody calling for Boise State to get an invitation. Plus, even if Rutgers wins out, many say they'll get passed over too. And they're in the Big East for cryin' out loud.
I'm glad I don't have a passion for college sports, because those of you who do must be very, very frustrated with the f'ed up BCS system.
". . . acquiring J. Blanton from Oakland for, apparently, Bailey/Cueto, Votto and a lesser prospect. I do it in a second . . . The Reds' equation this year is simple: Make Matt Belisle your #3 starter . . . trade for Blanton, win 85 or more, be in the mix all summer." - Paul Daugherty, Feb. 8, 2008
Well, I've felt for a while now that Michigan and Ohio State truly are the best two teams on earth and I'd love to see a rematch for the title.
Today's game was incredible.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
~ Mark Twain
I vote no. Not because Michigan doesnt deserve it per se, but I feel it will be anticlimatic for OSU fans AND college football fans in general. Nobody outside of OSU/UM fans would watch a rematch and you better believe the BCS takes MONEY into account for the NC game.
I would actually prefer a ND matchup. Brady Quinn vs Troy Smith. both are seniors. both are/were up for the heisman. Last game for both quarterbacks before they go to the NFL. rematch from last year's fiesta bowl. Zmardja vs. Ginn. I just think it would be a more attractive game for everyone.
The poll isn't about preference, but about whether it's equitable.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
How can a team be legit National Champs when they didn't win their conference?
No, No, No. Michigan has a great team, but USC, Florida, and potentially Arkansas would have a better claim, IMO.
"I saw Wedding Crashers accidentally. I bought a ticket for Grizzly Man and went into the wrong theater. After an hour, I figured I was in the wrong theater, but I kept waiting. Thats the thing about bear attacks. They come when you least expect it."-Dwight K. Schrute
I vote no, just because I feel that the teams should be conference winners. Tressel and Carr stated as much early in the week.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
That's my feeling. As long as there is a single title game and no playoffs, the teams should be chosen from among conference champions.
The title game should match the two best teams in D-I football. Is it possible to have the two best teams in D-I football in the same conference? Yes, it is. Is it possible for one of these teams to win the conference title and the other team to not win the conference title? Yes, it is.
It should be the top two teams... period.
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
ok fine then. no it shouldnt happen and if anybody thinks it SHOULD, then they are being biased either for Michigan or the big ten.
with the poll system in college football, there will never be "two best teams in the country."
It SHOULD be Arkansas/Florida or Notre Dame or USC
I'm a Buckeye fan, and the last team I'd want to see in the final is Michigan.
Different people have different criteria. Some think conference champs should play only. I think that's a legitimate point of view. Others think it should be the best two teams regardless of conference. I think that's a legit point of view. Under the current system, there is rrom for differing opinions.
I think the only scenario at this point that would allow it to happen would be for Notre Dame to beat USC and Arkansas beat Florida (assuming they both win their remaining games before this one which isn't a given especially for AK who has to play LSU). I think the voters would have a much easier time ranking Michigan ahead of Arkansas as opposed to Florida. Not saying it's fair, but brand name will come into play and Florida's is much better.
But if the choice is between Notre Dame and Michigan, I'd have a hard time believing the voters in both polls would put the Irish ahead of the Wolverines with both having onle loss and with the magnitude of Michigan's win and the fact that it was in South Bend. Of course, it's happened before with Notre Dame being absolutely screwed in 1993, so you never know.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
Sure, the best two teams in the country can be in the same conference. And the best team may not actually win their conference. If they don't, however, they shouldn't play for the national title. Not in a single title game.
How many playoff systems yield the "two best teams" in the respective sports, year after year? Think the Cards and the Tigers were the best teams in baseball last year?
As for college football, there is really no objective way to determine the two best teams in the country. The level of competition varies too much year to year, and conference to conference. Preseason polls play too big a role.
Edit: For the record ... I'm not suggesting those who favor a rematch claiming OSU and UM are the two best teams in the country are showing Big Ten bias. It's just my opionion that conference championship should weigh heavily when comparing teams with the same, or even a similar record.
Last edited by SandyD; 11-19-2006 at 12:33 AM.
Right after the game, Doug Flutie said he didn't think there should be a rematch. He's now saying he thinks there should be a rematch. IMO, Michigan being the opponent in the title game would be OSU's worst nightmare. I definitely DO NOT want that to happen.
It will be interesting to see how the voters vote. For example, many of them will NOT want to see a rematch. The computers are gong to like Michigan as they are the only loss to ND and Wisconsin and they're only loss is to the #1 team. If they're #3 to any team other than USC, that might be enough to propel them to #2 in the BCS.
There's no way Michigan is worse than #4. The winner of USC/ND could be ahead of them, and the winner of ARK/FLA could be ahead of them. But that's it. Would some voters put them at #5 or below just to prevent a leapfrog from happening? If USC wins out, it will be all moot. But I really think Notre Dame will beat them based on what I've seen of USC (that prediction probably spells doom of the Irish). That puts the winner of FLA/Ark at #2. Both are really good teams, but as a Bucks fan, I wouldn't mind seeing either one of them in the title game over the other teams in the mix.
The following scenario is NOT all that unlikely:
Arkansas loses to LSU
Arkansas beats Florida (this one isn't quite as likely, but not unreasonable either)
Notre Dame beats USC
That would leave Notre Dame and Michigan. If that happens I've got to believe Michigan will get the nod. That really means Notre Dame doesn't have much chance at all. If Notre Dame win, I think the rematch will happen. That means Michigan fans have to root for Notre Dame.
If I had to guess right now, I'd say it will be Florida. Of all the teams left, I believe they're the ones least likely to lose. This would probably be fine with most Buckeye fans (sorry, Krono. Nothing personal, but I don't think they're going to scare anyone). The only other team that would be a more desirable opponent would be Arkansas, which I don't see winning out. I wouldn't want to see Michigan, USC, or even Notre Dame.
BTW, Mark May is either an idiot or drunk (or both). He just said he didn't think Michigan would be able to beat Arkansas. Really, he just said that!

how can i have animations randomly play? for example i have 2 idle animations, one main and one that i would like to play once through at random intervals while the character is not moving. how would i go about getting this to happen? so far i can only get the main idle animation to play.
asked Jan 16, 2010 at 12:01 PM
perhaps your idle animation could be controlled by a coroutine, something like this:
answered Jan 16, 2010 at 02:41 PM
duck ♦♦
how would i implement something like that? can barely muck through the demo scripts and patch together something that sort of works, i havent much of a clue when it comes to adding something along these lines.
Jan 17, 2010 at 11:48 AM kez717
the above code assumes that you would call the function Idle() when the character should start idling. You should also have a boolean variable called 'idling' which is set to true. The function above will keep playing idle animations until you set the 'idling' boolean variable to false.
Jan 17, 2010 at 12:12 PM duck ♦♦
This is what I did:
var SceletorObject : GameObject = null; var curAnim : String = null; var doAnimation : boolean = false; private var AnimObj : Animation = null;
function Start(){ AnimObj=SceletorObject.GetComponent(Animation); }
function OnTriggerEnter() { AnimObj.PlayQueued("raise"); doAnimation=true; } function OnTriggerExit() { AnimObj.PlayQueued("hit"); AnimObj.PlayQueued("die"); doAnimation=false; } function OnTriggerStay(){ if (!AnimObj.isPlaying && doAnimation) doNextAnim(); } function doNextAnim(){ var anims=new Array("idle1","idle1","idle1","idle1","idle2","strike"); var length=anims.length-1; var index=Mathf.Round(length*UnityEngine.Random.value); curAnim=anims[index]; AnimObj.PlayQueued(curAnim); }

Only purchased the Vivacity a couple of weeks ago, but looking to sell as I've had my fun with it after applying Fish N' Chip ROMs. It was my first Android smartphone, but sticking to my Nokia C7 for now as overall it is a better phone. If anyone is interested (Ebay item number 190664537766).
Edited by Reider59, 09 April 2012 - 02:36 PM.
Thanx Reider....
Don't get me wrong....I love these ZTE devices.
My last phone was Blade [SanFran 1].....
Fantastic and diverse, perfect to learn Android, well supported, by raverr, Wbaw, all the other guys and gals....
My eldest son has it now, I put F&C on before I "donated" to him.....still on it!!!!!!
I saw him this wk-end, and he is incredibly happy with the ROM, so kudos to raverr and friends.....no doubt!!!!
So I look forward to the TMV....good luck to the wife getting it back for at least 2/3 weeks.....
Just on the Recovery question and the Capacitive keys.....are they catered for in CWM for TVM??
Edited by Titas, 09 April 2012 - 03:31 PM.
Symbian.....256MB Ram.....360x640 screen....680MHz CPU.....1200mAh Battery
What makes Nokia C7 better??
Genuine question??
I just bought TMV from Amazon
If I had known!!!!!
The specs above do not tell the whole story for the C7 and some Symbian devices. The following below are much better. However, I did enjoy the Vivacity and Andorid, but I don't believe Android is way better than Nokia Belle other than in the number of applications available. I will probably get another Android phone at some point, as Symbian is dying slowly and I enjoy the Android community and ability to take a cheap device and make it better than say an Iphone!
AMOLED screen (granted not as high resolution as Vivacity, but colours are better and less power drain)
Gorilla Glass
Nokia Belle better base storage management
Dual LED camera
720p video recording
IPlayer support (does not require rooting) and much faster
Battery life (Symbian less leaky).
