iPhone Swipe is a Slug

Hai

Does anyone have any issues with speed of touch input performance? I'm using script that detects start and end touch, and the difference between the two determines the direction of the swipe. The swipe direction determines the direction of the player character's movement that is done with iTween.

My issue is that the performance of this seems rather sluggish.. like a small time delay before the player actually moves. It's imperative that this delay doesn't exist as it inhibits on gameplay.

Has anyone else had similar issues with Input (touch)?

 

I seem to have resolved my issue by using FixedUpdate() instead of Update() and OnGUI().

 

OnGUI should not be present on any class you use in the "game environment", at best, if at all, only on the menu. (having it there empty does not make the situation better, it will still hit in with the full overhead)

ongui is a if not the major performance kill
