» Mon Apr 20, 2015 5:23 am Why is my OnUpdate() Event getting sent whilst I am still in menu-mode?
If I place Keening inside the container, and linger in the menu, I can clearly see my display Keening getting enabled in the background. The associated animations however, don't play until the menu has closed.
Here is my script: (trimmed for brevity)

BTW, I did originally try a Utility.Wait(0.2) but the observable behaviour did not change in the slightest.
