Why the texture in my SKSpriteNode gets removed when it's done animating? - ios

Question

I have a SKSpriteNode, I'm Trying to animate it in my touchesbegan and the animation works fine but when it's done animating, the default texture for my SKSpriteNode is gone. My R.atlas contains images named R1,R2..R7 ,What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot.
#interface MyScene()
{
SKSpriteNode * rightTubeNode;
}
#property NSArray* rightTubeAnimationArray;
#end
#implementation MyScene
-(id)initWithSize:(CGSize)size {
if (self = [super initWithSize:size]) {
SKTextureAtlas *rightTubeAtlas = [SKTextureAtlas atlasNamed:#"R"];
rightTubeTexture = [rightTubeAtlas textureNamed:#"R1"];
NSMutableArray *rightAnimFrames = [NSMutableArray array];
for (int i = 1; i <= rightTubeAtlas.textureNames.count; ++i){
NSString *texture =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"R%d",i];
[rightAnimFrames addObject:[rightTubeAtlas textureNamed:texture]];
}
self.rightTubeAnimationArray = rightAnimFrames;
rightTubeNode = [self createRightTubeNode];
rightTubeNode.position = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width/2+rightTubeNode.frame.size.width/2,50);
rightTubeNode.zPosition = 0.1;
[self addChild:rightTubeNode];
}
return self;
}
- (SKSpriteNode *)createRightTubeNode
{
SKSpriteNode *rightTube = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithTexture:rightTubeTexture];
rightTube = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithTexture:rightTubeTexture];
rightTube.name = #"rightTubeNode";
return rightTube;
}
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
for (UITouch *touch in touches) {
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
CGPoint nodesLocation = CGPointMake(location.x,self.frame.size.height/2);
if (nodesLocation.x>self.frame.size.width/2) {
SKNode *archerNode = [self childNodeWithName:#"rightTubeNode"];
if (archerNode != nil){
SKAction *animate = [SKAction animateWithTextures:self.rightTubeAnimationArray
timePerFrame: 0.02];
[archerNode runAction:animate];
}
}
}
}

Re-adding the R.atlas (with checking the Create groups options box) without any further changes did the trick, Thanks to #Whirlwind
