SpriteKit drag and drop through wall - ios

Question

I did simple drag and drop in SpriteKit with physics. It works as expected, but when I use fast drag, element goes through wall.
self.runner is wall
self.runner2 is square
Wall have dynamic set to NO.
Movie shows everything: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ozncf9i16o1z80o/spritekit_sample.mov?dl=0
Tested on simulator and real device, both iOS 7.
I want to prevent square from going through wall. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You're setting the position of the node directly, this bypasses collision detection. If you move fast, the next position can be on the other side of the wall (or close enough so that physics will resolve the collision by moving the dragged node outside and above the wall).
Enabling usesPreciseCollisionDetection on the dynamic body may improve the situation but may not entirely prevent it. Actually it may not make any difference due to setting the node position directly instead of moving the body using force/impulse.
To fix this behavior you can't rely on contact events. Instead use bodyAlongRayStart:end: to determine if there's a blocking body between the node's current and the next position. Even so this will only work with your current setup, but couldn't prevent the ray successfully passing through small gaps in the wall where the dynamic body wouldn't be able to fit through.

Answer 2

While dragging nodes, if you change their position in the following ways,
draggedNode.position = CGPoint(x: position.x + translation.x, y: position.y + translation.y)
and
SKAction.move(to: CGPoint(x: 100, y: sprite.position.y), duration: 1))
nodes will lose their physics properties. That's why they pass through walls or other nodes. Therefore you need to change their velocity or apply force or impulse.
I created an example project in Github. And the video is here
