I've created a HUD that plays animations. The user could click on one of the buttons to start an animation. However, I've also included a bunch of gestures tied to function buttons, so the user can simply use the keyboard. The gestures simply chat a command on a higher channel. Both the touch_start and chat (listen) immediately go the the same function to start the animation.
I and others have noticed that the HUD is significantly more responsive when using the chat based function keys than when simply clicking on the HUD to trigger a touch_start. I would have expect the results to be the other way around.
Has anyone else encountered this and can you explain why this would be?
