I have created an SKSpriteNode called let's say Map that has an edge path that I have defined (some simple polygon shape).
What I am trying to figure out is how to add several other edge paths that would act as interior edges of the Map. As if the "map" as a whole did in fact have holes. Some sort of inner boundary shapes that could act with Map as a whole: one edge path (as shown below)
©
I understand that there is a method that allows for creating an SKPhysicsBody with bodies (some NSArray), like such
Map.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithBodies:bodiesArray];
Does this method in fact generate what I have shown in the image? Assuming that the bodiesArray contains 3 SKSpriteNode's each with a defined path from using such method:
+ (SKPhysicsBody *)bodyWithEdgeChainFromPath:(CGPathRef)path
, with creating the path like such
SKSpriteNode *innerNode1 = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:#"map"];
CGMutablePathRef innerNode1Path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathMoveToPoint(mapPath, NULL, 1110, 1110);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(mapPath, NULL, <some x1>, <some y1>);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(mapPath, NULL, <some x2>, <some y2>);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(mapPath, NULL, <some x3>, <some y3>);
.
.
.
CGPathCloseSubpath(mapPath);
innerNode1.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithPolygonFromPath:innerNode1Path];
[bodiesArray addObject:innerNode1];
// Repeat for other 2 nodes
I understand that an alternative would be to create 3 separate nodes with the location and shape of the intended "holes", but I am tying to avoid creating more nodes than I need. If anyone can confirm what I am trying to do is correct, or perhaps suggest an alternative that I am unaware of.
NOTE: IF what I am doing is correct but I am missing something, I would appreciate it if someone can show me the correct way to do what I am trying to do (even a simple example of a square with an inner smaller square would be great). Thanks!
EDIT 1:
Below is the code snippet that I am using as an attempt to create the "inner boundaries". This issue here, is that while both the outer and inner rect's are drawn and shown, when I add the inner rect to the Map bodyWithBodies, it takes full control of the collision detection, removing all contact control from the outer rect shell. When I remove the bodyWithBodies it goes back to normal with showing both rects, the outer has collision detection (does not allow me to pass through), while the inner one has nothing... so close
// 1 Create large outer shell Map
CGRect mapWithRect = CGRectMake(map.frame.origin.x + offsetX, map.frame.origin.y + offsetY, map.frame.size.width * shrinkage, map.frame.size.height * shrinkage);
self.physicsWorld.gravity = CGVectorMake(0.0, 0.0);
self.physicsWorld.contactDelegate = self;
// 2 Create smaller inner boundary
CGRect innerRect = CGRectMake(100, 100, 300, 300);
SKPhysicsBody *body = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithEdgeLoopFromRect:innerRect];
body.categoryBitMask = wallCategory;
NSArray *bodyArray = [NSArray arrayWithObject:body];
// 3 Add bodies to main Map body
myWorld.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithBodies:bodyArray];
myWorld.physicsBody.categoryBitMask = wallCategory;
if ( [[levelDict objectForKey:#"DebugBorder"] boolValue] == YES) {
// This will draw the boundaries for visual reference during testing
[self debugPath:mapWithRect];
[self debugPath:innerRect];
}
EDIT 2
This approach works..by just adding a new node with the same properties as the outer rect:
SKPhysicsBody *innerRectBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithEdgeLoopFromRect:innerRect];
innerRectBody.collisionBitMask = playerCategory;
innerRectBody.categoryBitMask = wallCategory;
SKNode *innerBoundary = [SKNode node];
innerBoundary.physicsBody = innerRectBody;
[myWorld addChild: innerBoundary];
...but I would very much like a cleaner solution that does not require additional nodes..thoughts?
you are doing nothing wrong here i come with an example where i created two edge rect bodies with two physics bodies
//adding bodies after some time using gcd
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(1.2 * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self addBodyA];
});
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(1.2 * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self addBodyB];
});
-(void)addBodyB
{
SKSpriteNode *node=[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor redColor] size:CGSizeMake(20, 20)];
node.physicsBody=[SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:node.frame.size];
node.position=CGPointMake(550, 420);
node.physicsBody.restitution=1;
[self addChild:node];
}
-(void)addBodyA
{
SKSpriteNode *node=[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor redColor] size:CGSizeMake(20, 20)];
node.physicsBody=[SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:node.frame.size];
node.position=CGPointMake(400, 420);
node.physicsBody.restitution=1;
[self addChild:node];
}
-(void)addEdgesBodies
{
SKAction *r=[SKAction rotateByAngle:1.0/60 duration:1.0/60];
SKSpriteNode *rect=[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor clearColor] size:CGSizeMake(300,300)];
rect.physicsBody=[SKPhysicsBody bodyWithEdgeLoopFromRect:rect.frame];
rect.position=CGPointMake(500, 400);
[self addChild:rect];
//
SKSpriteNode *rect1=[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor clearColor] size:CGSizeMake(100,100)];
rect1.physicsBody=[SKPhysicsBody bodyWithEdgeLoopFromRect:rect1.frame];
rect1.position=CGPointMake(550, 450);
[self addChild:rect1];
[rect1 runAction:[SKAction repeatActionForever:r]];
}
[self addEdgesBodies];
remember edge bodies comes with low cpu overhead so don't worry about performance untill your polygon don't have so many edges.
Your code for making a path then using it in a physics body looks like it would work. As well as your physics body from bodies. Unfortunately I do not know SKPhysicsBody's can really support holes because you can not flip the normals of the body. The way I read apples documentation is that it is meant to do things like take two circle shapes and make them into one body, rather then creating a complex shape like that. The problem being that having a hole inside of your bigger shape would mean ignoring collision in that area.
Here are some alternative options
One option is you could build your stages from multiple shapes. For example if you break your map into two pieces (with a line going through each shape) and make physics bodies for those. Then have them overlap and make them into one body then it might work out. I made a diagram showing this (pardon its terrible quality you should still be able to understand what it is doing (hopefully)).
Another option would be to make it with a texture, this can hurt preformance a bit but if you can manage it then it probably would work nicely.
Map.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(texture: Map.texture, size: Map.size)

I'm very new to cocos2d development.
What I am trying to implement is some sprite nodes with physics bodies. As far as I understand, you're supposed to add them to the scene like this ("physics" here is the name of CCPhysicsNode declared earlier):
[physics addChild:node];
instead of
[self addChild:node];
The second one is pretty self-explanatory, I never had any trouble with it. But with the first the position of collision shapes does not match the position of the actual sprite (as seen in debug drawing, and by offset I mean greatly offset, like 2x the actual position). This is how I declare and add the node:
CCSprite *sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"sprite.png"];
sprite.position = position;
sprite.physicsBody = [CCPhysicsBody bodyWithRect:[sprite boundingBox] cornerRadius:0];
sprite.physicsBody.collisionType = #"SomeCollisionType";
sprite.name = #"Name";
[physics addChild:sprite];
What am I doing wrong? Please explain me how to make the positions match. TIA.
I'm programming a little Game. For this I need some Walls. Therefor I have used:
Wall[w] = [[SKShapeNode alloc] init];
Wall[w].path = WallPos[w];
Wall[w].lineWidth = 4;
Wall[w].strokeColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
Wall[w].zPosition = 3;
[self addChild: Wall[w]];
Wall is an Array of SKShapeNodes and is set in #interface, so I can use it in every method. WallPos contains CGMutablePathRefs.
In TouchesBegan and TouchesMoved I'm calling a method which should check if you have touched one of the walls.
I have also some SKShapeNodes which are Rectangles, and to check if they are touched, I have used
if ([SomeShape containsPoint: Position] {
//Do some stuff
}
But with a line it's not working. Sometimes I'm touching on the line and nothing happens. Then I've seen this: Detecting Touch on SKShapeNode that is a Line and I have tried to do it on that way:
for (int i = 0; i < NrWalls; i++) {
if (CGRectContainsPoint(Wall[i].frame, Position)) {
[self GameOver];
}
}
But now every Point I touch sets a "Game Over" to me!!
Has anyone an Idea, how could I check if the line is touched?
Thanks for your help!

Not sure why you want to use SKShapeNodes for walls and rectangles. To answer your question, you can attach a physics body to your shape node and use the contact methods to check for possible contacts. However, assigning a physics body to a shape node could be a tricky undertaking due to the anchor points and getting a desired alignment.
Seeing that you are really only drawing rectangles for your walls, I suggest you use a SKSpriteNode with a physics body instead. Something like this:
SKSpriteNode *myNode = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor redColor] size:CGSizeMake(5, 100)];
myNode.position = CGPointMake(100, 100);
myNode.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:myNode.size];
myNode.physicsBody.dynamic = NO;
myNode.physicsBody.categoryBitMask = CategoryWall;
[self addObject:myNode];
If you need, you can read up on SKPhysicsBody here.
Two likely related things here:
1) I can draw a box and add to child from my SKScene impelmentation file with self, self.scene, and myWorld, but not with an SKSprite node's scene property.
SKSpriteNode *bla = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[UIColor redColor] size:CGSizeMake(100, 100)];
[self.scene addChild:bla]; // If I use bla.scene, it doesn't work. self, self.scene, myworld all do work though.
bla.position = CGPointMake(0, 0);
bla.zPosition = 999;
2) I've seen the related questions here and here, but I'm trying to add a joint during gameplay (grabbing a rope). This method gets called after doing some sorting in `didBeginContact:
-(void)monkey:(SKPhysicsBody *)monkeyPhysicsBody didCollideWithRope:(SKPhysicsBody *)ropePhysicsBody atPoint:(CGPoint)contactPoint
{
if (monkeyPhysicsBody.joints.count == 0) {
// Create a new joint between the player and the rope segment
CGPoint convertedRopePosition = [self.scene convertPoint:ropePhysicsBody.node.position fromNode:ropePhysicsBody.node.parent];
SKPhysicsJointPin *jointPin = [SKPhysicsJointPin jointWithBodyA:playerPhysicsBody bodyB:ropePhysicsBody anchor:convertedRopePosition];
jointPin.upperAngleLimit = M_PI/4;
jointPin.shouldEnableLimits = YES;
[self.scene.physicsWorld addJoint:jointPin];
}
}
I've got showPhyiscs enabled on the scene, so I can see that the joint is ending up in a totally wacky place. Unfortunately, I don't know how to apply the linked solutions since I'm not adding the SKSpriteNodes in this method, they already exist, so I can't just flip the order of position and physicsBody.
I've tried every permutation I could for both of the convertPoint methods. Nothing worked. My best guess is that physicsWorld is using some wacky coordinate system.
Method members of SKPhysicsWorld that relate to position (CGPoint) or frame (CGRect) are to be in scene coordinates. Scene coordinates reference the point {0,0} as the bottom left corner and is consistent throughout SpriteKit.
The scene property of your object named bla will be nil when bla is first created and is set by the scene when added to it.
[bla.scene addChild:bla]; // this won't do anything as scene will be nil when first created
It looks as though convertedRopePosition is being assigned an incorrect value because the second member you're passing into, - (CGPoint)convertPoint:(CGPoint)point fromNode:(SKNode *)node , is the scene when it should be another node in the same node tree as this node. where this node is the caller (in this case the SKScene subclass).
Try replacing the line-
CGPoint convertedRopePosition = [self.scene convertPoint:ropePhysicsBody.node.position fromNode:ropePhysicsBody.node.parent];
with-
CGPoint convertedRopePosition = [self convertPoint:ropePhysicsBody.node.position fromNode:ropePhysicsBody.node];
I came up with a janky work around for this problem. It turns out that the coordinate system offset for physicsWorld was likely due to an anchor difference. Changing the anchors of every related thing made no difference, and you can't change the anchor of the physicsWorld directly, so I ended up adding half of the scene width and half of the scene height to the anchor position of my joint. That got it to show in the right place and behave normally.
This problem persisted once side scrolling was factored in. I've posted other questions here with this same problem but I'll include th
I added the following convenience method to my GameScene.m. It essentially takes the place of the seemingly useless convertTo built in method.
-(CGPoint)convertSceneToFrameCoordinates:(CGPoint)scenePoint
{
CGFloat xDiff = myWorld.position.x - self.position.x;
CGFloat yDiff = myWorld.position.y - self.position.y;
return CGPointMake(scenePoint.x + self.frame.size.width/2 + xDiff, scenePoint.y + self.frame.size.height/2 + yDiff);
}
I use this method to add joints. It handles all of the coordinate system transformations that need to be dealt with that lead to the issue raised in this question. For example, the way I add joints
CGPoint convertedRopePosition = [self convertSceneToFrameCoordinates:ropePhysicsBody.node.position];
SKPhysicsJointPin *jointPin = [SKPhysicsJointPin jointWithBodyA:monkeyPhysicsBody bodyB:ropePhysicsBody anchor:convertedRopePosition];
jointPin.upperAngleLimit = M_PI/4;
jointPin.shouldEnableLimits = YES;
[self.scene.physicsWorld addJoint:jointPin];
It's possible for one node to have two physics body paths? I want to create a node that has two (circle) physics bodies on the sides of the node.
If it's not possible, is there are any workaround to achieve that? thank you
You want to use [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithBodies:...]. From the docs :
The shapes of the physics bodies passed into this method are used to
create a new physics body whose covered area is the union of the areas
of its children. These areas do not need to be contiguous. If there is
space between two parts, other bodies may be able to pass between
these parts. However, the physics body is treated as a single
connected body, meaning that a force or impulse applied to the body
affects all of the pieces as if they were held together with an
indestructible frame.
It would look something like this :
SKPhysicsBody *leftCircle = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithCircleOfRadius:leftCircleRadius center:leftCircleCenter];
SKPhysicsBody *rightCircle = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithCircleOfRadius:rightCircleRadius center:rightCircleCenter];
node.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithBodies:#[leftCircle, rightCircle]];
Here's an example of how to connect to sprite nodes using SKPhysicsJointFixed. First, create two sprites:
SKSpriteNode *sprite1 = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor blueColor] size:CGSizeMake(64, 64)];
// position must be set before creating physics body to avoid bug in iOS 7.0.x
sprite1.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame),
CGRectGetMidY(self.frame));
sprite1.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:sprite1.size];
sprite1.physicsBody.restitution = 1.0;
[self addChild:sprite1];
SKSpriteNode *sprite2 = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor blueColor] size:CGSizeMake(64, 64)];
sprite2.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame)-sprite2.size.width*2,
CGRectGetMidY(self.frame));
sprite2.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:sprite2.size];
sprite2.physicsBody.restitution = 1.0;
[self addChild:sprite2];
then connect the nodes by calling this method:
[self connectNode1:sprite1 toNode2:sprite2];
This method joins two nodes at their midpoint. Note that both physic bodies must be in the scene prior to calling this method.
- (void) connectNode1:(SKSpriteNode *)node1 toNode2:(SKSpriteNode *)node2
{
CGPoint midPoint = CGPointMake((node1.position.x + node2.position.x)/2,
(node1.position.y + node2.position.y)/2);
SKPhysicsJointFixed *joint = [SKPhysicsJointFixed jointWithBodyA:node1.physicsBody
bodyB:node2.physicsBody
anchor:midPoint];
[self.physicsWorld addJoint:joint];
}
Here is an easy way to achieve the behavior you are looking for:
How to detect contact on different areas of a physicsbody
//Create SpriteNode1 & physicsBody
//Create SpriteNode2 & physicsBody
[SpriteNode1 addChild: SpriteNode2]
You can position SpriteNode2 relative to SpriteNode1. Any movement, etc. performed on SpriteNode1 will also move SpriteNode2.
Set: SpriteNode2.PhysicsBody.Dynamic=NO;
You could also create a SpriteNode that acts as the main object and add both SN1 and SN2 as children if you find that easier.
I have two nodes in my scene. The first node is a ball at the top of my view. The second node is a rectangle at the bottom of my view to stop the ball from dropping out of view. I am wanting this ball to have NO bounciness at all. I am wanting it to just completely stop when it hits the rectangle. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
SKSpriteNode *rectangle = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[UIColor whiteColor] size:CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width, 50)];
bottom.position = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width / 2, 0);
bottom.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:CGSizeMake(rectangle, bottom.size.height)];
bottom.physicsBody.dynamic = NO;
[self addChild:bottom];
SKSpriteNode *ball = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:#"ball"];
ball.position = CGPointMake(node.position.x, node.position.y);
ball.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithCircleOfRadius: 5];
ball.physicsBody.restitution = 0;
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathMoveToPoint(path, NULL, 0, 0);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, [self randomX], [self randomY]);
SKAction *move = [SKAction followPath:path asOffset:YES orientToPath:NO duration:3.0];
[ball runAction:move];
[self addChild: ball];
Why is is still bouncing off the rectangle?
In my experience, you should in more cases than not be working with frameworks like they expects you to, hacks just end up with weird quirks like the one you encountered. In this case, as #LearnCocos2D said, you should probably be using [ball.physicsBody applyImpulse:(CGVEctor)] if you need the ball to move along a specific path but still maintain a dynamic physicsBody. If you then set the restitution to 0, it will not bounce. I promise.
Read up on vectors and vector maths if you need the ball to follow a specific path (it's knowledge that is good to have anyways when working with physics). I've found this to be a good resource for that. It's for openFrameworks, hence C++, but the concept remains the same.
And if you still really need to use a CGPath, then I think you should tell us a bit more specific about what you need to accomplish. There might be a better solution, or maybe we should file a bug to Apple. Sprite-Kit is still fairly young, I have myself encounter problems I believe to be bugs.
The documentation indicates that the value of the "restitution" property of SKPHysicsBody is "how much energy the physics body loses when it bounces off another object." (here). By setting the restitution to zero, you make the ball as bouncy as possible - it loses 0 energy. If you set the restitution to 1 - loses all energy - it should stop.
