I'm having trouble with adding and removing my SKPhysicsJointPin in the touchesBegan function. The issue is that my joint is declared in the didMoveToView function because it needs to be positioned based on expressions that exists within it.
That being so I can't refer to the SKPhysicsJoint within the touchesBegan function, which is necessary for what I'm trying to do with my project. Any solutions or suggestions?
Code:
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate {
var head = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "crown.png")
var headTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "crown.png")
var neck = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "throat.png")
var neckTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "throat.png")
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
head.position.x = torso.position.x - 1
head.position.y = torso.position.y + 77
head.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(texture: headTexture, size: head.size)
head.physicsBody!.categoryBitMask = ColliderType.part.rawValue
head.physicsBody!.contactTestBitMask = ColliderType.part.rawValue
head.physicsBody!.collisionBitMask = ColliderType.part.rawValue
self.addChild(head)
neck.position.x = torso.position.x
neck.position.y = torso.position.y + 44
neck.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(texture: neckTexture, size: neck.size)
neck.physicsBody!.categoryBitMask = ColliderType.mjoint.rawValue
neck.physicsBody!.contactTestBitMask = ColliderType.mjoint.rawValue
neck.physicsBody!.collisionBitMask = ColliderType.mjoint.rawValue
self.addChild(neck)
let headToNeck = SKPhysicsJointPin.jointWithBodyA(head.physicsBody!, bodyB:neck.physicsBody!, anchor:CGPointMake(head.position.x, head.position.y - 20.8))
headToNeck.shouldEnableLimits = true
self.physicsWorld.addJoint(headToNeck)
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
self.physicsWorld.removeJoint(headToNeck)
}
}
Try creating a class variable like this:
class GameScene: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate {
var headToNeck: SKPhysicsJoint!
//other variables
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
//other code
self.headToNeck = SKPhysicsJointPin.jointWithBodyA(head.physicsBody!, bodyB:neck.physicsBody!, anchor:CGPointMake(head.position.x, head.position.y - 20.8))
self.headToNeck.shouldEnableLimits = true
self.physicsWorld.addJoint(self.headToNeck)
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
self.physicsWorld.removeJoint(self.headToNeck)
}
}

I would like to repeatedly show one of the two games cards, whenever the user touches the deckOfCards.
I got it working once so far, but when I tap on the deckOfCards again, the card does not change. Trying this with 10 or more card names, didn't work either.
class GameScene: SKScene {
let cardname = ["card2", "ace"]
let randomNumber = Int(arc4random_uniform(13))
var deckOfCards = SKSpriteNode()
var yourCard = SKSpriteNode()
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
deckOfCards = self.childNode(withName: "deckOfCards") as! SKSpriteNode
yourCard = self.childNode(withName: "yourCard") as! SKSpriteNode
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
self.view?.endEditing(true)
for touch: AnyObject in touches {
let location = touch.location(in: self)
let node : SKNode = self.atPoint(location)
if node.name == "deckOfCards" {
yourCard.texture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "\(cardname[randomNumber])")
}
}
}
randomNumber is a constant outside of touchesBegan. It never changes. Put it inside touchesBegan.
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
self.view?.endEditing(true)
for touch: AnyObject in touches {
let location = touch.location(in: self)
let node = self.atPoint(location)
let randomNumber = Int(arc4random_uniform(13))
if node.name == "deckOfCards" {
yourCard.texture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "\(cardname[randomNumber])")
}
}
}
I am trying to implement moving to another scene when a wheel stops rotating. The code I have is shown below. I cannot figure out how to detect when the velocity has reached 0.0?
import SpriteKit
import GameplayKit
class GameplayScene: SKScene {
var player: Player?;
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
player = self.childNode(withName: "spinner") as! Player?;
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
for touch in touches {
let location = touch.location(in: self)
if atPoint(location).name == "play_button" {
spin()
}
}
}
func spin () {
let random = GKRandomDistribution(lowestValue: 20, highestValue: 90)
let r = random.nextInt()
player?.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(circleOfRadius: CGFloat(self.frame.width))
player?.physicsBody?.affectedByGravity = false
player?.physicsBody?.isDynamic = true
player?.physicsBody?.allowsRotation = true
player?.physicsBody?.angularVelocity = CGFloat(r)
player?.physicsBody?.angularDamping = 1.0
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
}
}
So from here, I would like to execute the following when the wheel has stopped spinning:
let play_scene = Questions(fileNamed: "QuestionsScene")
play_scene?.scaleMode = .aspectFill
self.view?.presentScene(play_scene!, transition: SKTransition.doorsOpenVertical(withDuration: 1))
I have now edited the class and it looks as follows:
import SpriteKit
import GameplayKit
class GameplayScene: SKScene, SKSceneDelegate {
var player: Player?
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
self.delegate = self
player = self.childNode(withName: "spinner") as! Player?;
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
for touch in touches {
let location = touch.location(in: self)
if atPoint(location).name == "play_button" {
spin()
}
}
}
func spin () {
let random = GKRandomDistribution(lowestValue: 20, highestValue: 90)
let r = random.nextInt()
player?.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(circleOfRadius: CGFloat(self.frame.width))
player?.physicsBody?.affectedByGravity = false
player?.physicsBody?.isDynamic = true
player?.physicsBody?.allowsRotation = true
player?.physicsBody?.pinned = true
player?.physicsBody?.angularVelocity = CGFloat(r)
player?.physicsBody?.angularDamping = 1.0
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
}
override func didSimulatePhysics() {
if ((player?.physicsBody?.angularVelocity)! <= CGFloat(0.01))
{
print("Got it")
}
}
}
Problem is I still receive an error on the if statement within didSimulatePhysics function. The error I receive is "Thread 1: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION...."
Your wheel's SKPhysicsBody has a built-in property, angularVelocity, that tells you how fast it's spinning. You're already using it when you set it to r to start the wheel spinning.
To watch angularVelocity you can use didSimulatePhysics(). It gets called once every frame, right after the physics calculations are done. That will look something like this:
func didSimulatePhysics() {
if wheelIsSpinning && angularVelocity != nil && angularVelocity! <= CGFloat(0.001) {
wheelIsSpinning = false
// wheel has stopped
// add your code here
}
}
Due to the vagaries of physics modeling, the angularVelocity might never be exactly zero. So instead we watch for it to be less than some arbitrary threshold, in this case 0.001.
You don't want it to execute every frame when the wheel isn't moving, so I added a property wheelIsSpinning to keep track. You'll need to add it as an instance property to GameplayScene, and set it to true in spin().
I am trying create a CGPath for a node to follow but when I have tried using SKShapeNode as defined in the actions and constants slide from 608_hd_best_practices_for_building_spritekit_games I get the error Extra argument 'count' in call. Any thoughts?
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
var groundNode: SKSpriteNode? = SKSpriteNode()
var path = [CGPoint]()
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
groundNode = childNodeWithName("ground") as? SKSpriteNode
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
path = [CGPoint]()
}
override func touchesMoved(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
var newPoint = touches.anyObject()?.locationInNode(groundNode)
path.append(newPoint!)
}
override func touchesEnded(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
let sprite = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed:"Spaceship")
sprite.xScale = 0.25
sprite.yScale = 0.25
sprite.position = path.first!
groundNode?.addChild(sprite)
// TODO: this currently isnt working
let count = path.count
// CGPathRef p = [SKShapeNode shapeWithSplinePoints:points]
let p: CGPathRef = SKShapeNode(splinePoints: path, count: count)
let speed:CGFloat = 1.0
let action = SKAction.followPath(p, speed: speed)
sprite.runAction(action)
}
override func update(currentTime: CFTimeInterval) {
/* Called before each frame is rendered */
}
}
init(splinePoints:count:) takes an UnsafeMutablePointer<CGPoint> (i.e., a C array of CGPoints) and an unsigned integer as its arguments. It also returns an SKShapeNode object not a CGPathRef. Try the following...
let p = SKShapeNode(splinePoints: &path, count: UInt(count))
EDIT: Make the following changes as well
let speed:CGFloat = 1.0
let action = SKAction.followPath(p.path, speed: speed)
sprite.runAction(action)
I am trying to create a "Space Invaders" game in swift, when the user touches the screen a bullet is shot from the ship, but when I try to touch it again while the bullet is moving across the screen I have an NSException and the game breaks. How do I set up the action so that there can be multiple instances of the action, so that the shooter is semi automatic. Below is my current scene controller.
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
let background = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "background")
let heroShip = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "heroShip")
let bullet = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "bullet")
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
/* Setup your scene here */
background.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame),CGRectGetMidY(self.frame))
heroShip.position = CGPointMake(self.size.width/6.0, self.size.height/2.0)
self.heroShip.zPosition = 1.0
self.addChild(background)
self.addChild(heroShip)
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
bullet.position = CGPointMake(heroShip.position.x + bullet.size.width/2, heroShip.position.y)
let action = SKAction.moveToX(self.frame.width + self.bullet.size.width, duration: 0.5)
self.addChild(bullet)
bullet.runAction(action, completion: {
self.bullet.removeAllActions()
self.bullet.removeFromParent()
})
}
override func update(currentTime: CFTimeInterval) {
/* Called before each frame is rendered */
}
}
If you want to have multiple bullets shot from one ship, you have to create multiple instances of a bullet. What you have now is bullet property of GameScene class which is a mistake.
You probably want to instantiate bullets dynamically in your IBAction
So try something like this:
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
let bullet = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "bullet")
bullet.position = CGPointMake(heroShip.position.x + bullet.size.width/2, heroShip.position.y)
let action = SKAction.moveToX(self.frame.width + bullet.size.width, duration: 0.5)
self.addChild(bullet)
bullet.runAction(action, completion: {
bullet.removeAllActions()
bullet.removeFromParent()
})
}
and remove
let bullet = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "bullet")
from the top of the class
I'm moving a sprite by using the touchesMoved method. So far this is working fine, but the result looks a little bit unnatural. The sprite stops immediately, once the movement of my finger stops. A more natural impression would be, if the sprite continuous the movement a little time with an ease out function. Any idea how to implement this?
Here is my code:
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
var sprite: SKSpriteNode?
var xOrgPosition: CGFloat = 0.0
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
sprite = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed:"Spaceship")
sprite!.xScale = 0.1
sprite!.yScale = 0.1
sprite!.position = CGPoint(x:CGRectGetMidX(self.frame), y:CGRectGetMidY(self.frame));
self.addChild(sprite!)
}
override func touchesMoved(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
for touch in touches {
let xTouchPosition = touch.locationInNode(self).x
if xOrgPosition != 0.0 {
// calculate the new position
sprite!.position = CGPoint(x: sprite!.position.x - (xOrgPosition - xTouchPosition), y: sprite!.position.y)
}
// Store the current touch position to calculate the delta in the next iteration
xOrgPosition = xTouchPosition
}
}
override func touchesEnded(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
// Reset value for the next swipe gesture
xOrgPosition = 0
}
}
Update:
I've made a short sample project, based on the answers from hamobi

i think this might be what youre going for. let me know if you have any questions :)
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
var sprite: SKSpriteNode?
var xOrgPosition: CGFloat?
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
sprite = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed:"Spaceship")
sprite!.xScale = 0.1
sprite!.yScale = 0.1
sprite!.position = CGPoint(x:CGRectGetMidX(self.frame), y:CGRectGetMidY(self.frame));
self.addChild(sprite!)
}
override func touchesMoved(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
for touch in touches {
xOrgPosition = touch.locationInNode(self).x
}
}
override func touchesEnded(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
xOrgPosition = nil
}
override func update(currentTime: NSTimeInterval) {
if let xPos = xOrgPosition {
sprite!.position.x += (xPos - sprite!.position.x) * 0.1
}
}
}
