stop impulse on SKSpriteKit click

Closed 8 years ago.
i'm creating an game where there is a pause button. For checking wether its touched i'm checking the location of the touch and if its equal to the paused button name.
When the pausedButton is clicked its call a method which pause the scene.
The problem is that in the touchBegan method whenever you touch the screen it apply an impulse, so when i press the pauseButton and unpause it the applyforce will come after. This is not ideal for the game. I've tried with a bool like shouldImpulse, but havent got it to work. here is my touchedBegan method:
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"home"]) {
SKTransition *reveal = [SKTransition fadeWithDuration:2.0 ];
Menu *newScene = [[Menu alloc] initWithSize: CGSizeMake(self.size.width,self.size.height)];
// Optionally, insert code to configure the new scene.
[self.scene.view presentScene: newScene transition: reveal];
}
if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"pause"]) {
[self pausedMenu];
}
if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"start"]) {
[self startMenu];
}
showpipes = showpipes + 1;
if (showpipes == 1) {
self.physicsWorld.gravity = CGVectorMake( 0.0, -5.0 );
SKAction* spawn = [SKAction performSelector:#selector(spawnPipes) onTarget:self];
SKAction* delay = [SKAction waitForDuration:2.0];
SKAction* spawnThenDelay = [SKAction sequence:#[spawn, delay]];
SKAction* spawnThenDelayForever = [SKAction repeatActionForever:spawnThenDelay];
[self runAction:spawnThenDelayForever];
}
started = 1;
if (started == 1) {
mover.physicsBody.restitution = 0.0;
mover.physicsBody.velocity = CGVectorMake(0, 0);
[mover.physicsBody applyImpulse:CGVectorMake(0, 15)];
}
}

You can do that with a simple IF, ELSE IF, ELSE:
if([node.name isEqualToString:#"home"])
{
// do stuff...
} else if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"pause"])
{
// do stuff...
} else if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"start"])
{
// do stuff...
} else
{
// do whatever else here...
}
