Touch object is unresponsive?
« on: April 11, 2014, 08:56:20 PM »
Hello, got a problem that's been bugging me for weeks now...

I have a toggle effect in game, for a thrust type thing, like in Asteroids, so when you press, you get thrust, when you let go, the thrust stops.

Works fine on keyboard - get key pressed, get key released - totally fine, works 100%, always. But when I try to do the same behavior with a touch on screen, it's just not quick enough and I usually end up thrusting forever, until I bash or slide on the screen to finally trigger the released state.

I'm sure it worked fine once, about a month ago, but now it's always sticking in the pressed state and is generally unresponsive, yet keyboard control is flawless.

I've read stuff about things having to be in Fixed Update etc, but have no idea how that relates to Playmaker?

Can anyone give me a clue as to how to get my touch object events to be as responsive as the keyboard?

Thanks
Wayne
