Show Interstitial In Other Scenes - Admob, SpriteKit, Swift - ios

Question

How do I show an interstitial ad from admob every x times the user has died or every x times the user does something like presses a button? This is how I showed an interstitial ad on my GameScene and limited ad impressions with a simple if statement.

Answer 1

This will only work if you have the GoogleMobileAds.sdk and have imported the googlemobileads module into your GameViewController, and GameScene, OR GameOverScene.
I'll be showing you cross-scene ad implementation and programmatically limiting ad impressions.
First, in your GameViewController:
import GoogleMobileAds
class GameViewController: UIViewController, GADInterstitialDelegate {
var myAd = GADInterstitial()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(GameViewController.loadAndShow), name: "loadAndShow", object: nil)
}
Create two functions at the bottom of your GameViewController:
func loadAndShow() {
myAd = GADInterstitial()
let request = GADRequest()
myAd.setAdUnitID("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910")
myAd.delegate = self
myAd.loadRequest(request)
}
func interstitialDidReceiveAd(ad: GADInterstitial!) {
if (self.myAd.isReady) {
myAd.presentFromRootViewController(self)
}
}
You are done with GameViewController. Now head to GameOverScene or GameScene, whatever you need.
Create a global int variable:
var playCount = Int()
In your DidMoveToView say:
playCount = 1
This part is sort of confusing, kinda, not really. Go to your touchesBegan and find where you add actions to a button if it's pressed. For example, a resetGame button resets the scene. Add this there and increment the playButton Int like so:
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
for touch in touches{
let location = touch.locationInNode(self)
if resetGame.containsPoint(location) {
restartScene()
playCount += 1
}
Last step. Add these two functions to the bottom of the scene you want to show interstitial ads in:
func displayAd() {
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("loadAndShow", object: nil)
}
func checkAd() {
if playCount % 4 == 0 {
displayAd()
}
}
}
Now every fourth time that the user presses the reset game button or dies, an interstitial ad should show up. I hope this helps.
EDIT: I forgot to tell you to call the checkAd() function. Call this function wherever your players dies. So if you have a Bool variable called died or gameover call it in the same spot. For example..
if died == true {
checkAd()
}
