After rotating SKLabelNode it becomes difficult to get location in touchesBegan: - ios

Question

I have an SKLabel Node setup as a button in my app and it works fine. However, when I rotate the SKLabelNode with this code my touchesBegan method no longer executes correctly and it becomes very difficult to have the SKLabelNode touches register correctly:
[_menuButton runAction:[SKAction sequence:#[[SKAction rotateByAngle:M_PI duration:.2],
[SKAction moveByX:0 y:-15 duration:.2]]]];
Here is my touches began method:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
CGPoint positionInScene = [touch locationInNode:self];
[self selectNodeForTouch:positionInScene];
if ([node.name isEqualToString:menuButtonName]) {
//Touched Menu Button
[self animateMenuAndShow:YES];
}
}
EDIT: One additional piece of information is that I'm using SKTEffects which requires that instead of using self.scene as my base I'm using _worldLayer to add all elements in the scene to. Is it possible that this is throwing off my touch calculations? And if so how can I correct this?
self.scaleMode = SKSceneScaleModeResizeFill;
self.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
// The origin of the pivot node must be the center of the screen.
_worldPivot = [SKNode node];
[self addChild:_worldPivot];
// Create the world layer. This is the only node that is added directly
// to the pivot node. If you have a HUD layer you would add that directly
// to the scene and make it sit above the world layer.
_worldLayer = [SKNode node];
_worldLayer.position = self.frame.origin;
[_worldPivot addChild:_worldLayer];
Also after following sangony's advice here is my updated touchesBegan: method which works well at first, but runs into the same problem after rotating the label by M_PI
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:_worldLayer];
CGPoint locationInMenu = [touch locationInNode:_menuBackground];
if (CGRectContainsPoint(_menuButton.frame, location)) {
//Touched Menu Button
if (!self.menuVisible) {
[self animateMenuAndShow:YES];
}
else
{
[self animateMenuAndShow:NO];
}
}
}
EDIT2:
Here is my animateMenuAndShow: method
-(void)animateMenuAndShow:(BOOL)show
{
if (show == YES) {
// self.paused = YES;
self.menuVisible = !self.menuVisible;
[self createMenu];
SKAction *showMenuAction = [SKAction sequence:#[
[SKAction moveTo:CGPointMake(self.size.width / 2, self.size.height/2) duration:0.3],
[SKAction runBlock:^{
[self jelly:self.menuBackground];
}],
[SKAction waitForDuration:1.5]
]];
[self.menuBackground runAction: showMenuAction completion:^{
self.paused = YES;
}];
if (_flipped == YES) {
[self.menuBackground runAction:[SKAction sequence:#[
[SKAction moveByX:0 y:0 duration:.2],[SKAction rotateByAngle:M_PI duration:.2]]]];// [SKAction rotateByAngle:M_PI duration:.2]
}
}
else
{
self.paused = NO;
SKAction *removeMenuAction = [SKAction sequence:#[
[SKAction moveTo:CGPointMake(self.size.width / 2, -self.size.height + 300) duration:0.3],
]];
[self.menuBackground runAction:removeMenuAction completion:^{
[self.menuBackground removeFromParent];
}];
self.menuVisible = !self.menuVisible;
}
}

Try this touchesBegan instead:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint touchLocation = [touch locationInNode:self.scene];
if (CGRectContainsPoint(myLabel.frame, touchLocation))
{
[self animateMenuAndShow:YES];
}
}
