Need help instantiating a controller and storyboard scene from controller SWIFT? - ios

Question

I have a controller that is using a Singleton to change SKScenes in a single storyboard scene.
class GameViewController: UIViewController, GKGameCenterControllerDelegate, GADBannerViewDelegate, GADInterstitialDelegate, ADBannerViewDelegate, FBLoginViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate, MapViewControllerDelegate {
var sharedInstance = Singleton.sharedInstance
var skView:SKView!
var scene:GameScene! = GameScene.unarchiveFromFile("GameScene") as? GameScene
var searchedTypes = ["bakery", "bar", "cafe", "grocery_or_supermarket", "restaurant"]
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var adHelper: AdHelper = AdHelper()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
// Configure the view.
skView = self.view as SKView
skView.showsFPS = false
skView.showsNodeCount = false
/* Sprite Kit applies additional optimizations to improve rendering performance */
skView.ignoresSiblingOrder = true
/* Set the scale mode to scale to fit the window */
scene.scaleMode = .AspectFill
skView.presentScene(scene, transition: SKTransition.crossFadeWithDuration(kSceneTransitionSpeed))
}
// LOAD MAP SCENE
func showMap(){
let viewController:UIViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MapController") as UIViewController
self.presentViewController(viewController, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
}
In my game scene I have a button that I am calling to this controller to change to the other scene in the storyboard because I don't have a layout button to use an IBAction
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
var sharedInstance = Singleton.sharedInstance
let playButton = Button(imageNamed:"playButton");
let highscoresButton = Button(imageNamed:"highscoresButton");
let creditsButton = Button(imageNamed:"creditsButton");
let moreGamesButton = Button(imageNamed: "moreGamesButton")
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
// background
let background = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "background")
background.position = CGPointMake(self.size.width/2, self.size.height/2)
self.addChild(background)
// main image
let main = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "main")
main.position = CGPointMake(self.size.width/2, self.size.height/2)
self.addChild(main)
// buttons
moreGamesButton.position = CGPointMake(self.size.width/2 + playButton.size.width, main.position.y + main.size.height/2 + playButton.size.height)
self.sharedInstance.addChildFadeIn(moreGamesButton, target: self)
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
for touch: AnyObject in touches {
let location = touch.locationInNode(self);
if self.nodeAtPoint(location) == self.moreGamesButton {
var gameController: GameViewController=GameViewController()
gameController.showMap()
}
}
}
override func update(currentTime: CFTimeInterval) {
/* Called before each frame is rendered */
}
}
When I click this I don't get a defined error just hits a break and it the thread I get "Swift dynamic cast failed".
Can I not call the controller like that within my scene or is is it a problem in instantiating the other controller?
