how can I fix this turret so that it moves smoothly - ios

Okay guys I have managed to make a sprite kit game where I have a turret that shoots candies but the problem I have is that the turret doesn't move smoothly as I point a location with my finger. It just jumps to point to the location.
so here is my code below:
- (void) rotateSprite:(SKSpriteNode *)sprite toFace:(CGPoint)velocity rotateRadiansPerSec:(CGFloat)rotateRadiansPerSec {
float targetAngle = CGPointToAngle(velocity);
float shortest = ScalarShortestAngleBetween(sprite.zRotation, targetAngle);
float amtToRotate = rotateRadiansPerSec * _dt;
if (ABS(shortest) < amtToRotate) {
amtToRotate = ABS(shortest);
}
sprite.zRotation += ScalarSign(shortest) * amtToRotate;
}
- (void) movePlayerToward:(CGPoint)location {
_lastTouchLocation = location;
CGPoint offset = CGPointSubtract(location, _Player.position);
CGPoint direction = CGPointNormalize(offset);
_velocity = CGPointMultiplyScalar(direction, PLAYER_MOVE_POINTS_PER_SEC);
}
- (void) update:(NSTimeInterval)currentTime {
if (_lastUpdateTime) {
_dt = currentTime - _lastUpdateTime;
}
else {
_dt = 0;
}
_lastUpdateTime = currentTime;
CGPoint offset = CGPointSubtract(_lastTouchLocation, _Player.position);
float distance = CGPointLength(offset);
if (distance < PLAYER_MOVE_POINTS_PER_SEC * _dt) {
_velocity = CGPointZero;
}
else
{
[self rotateSprite:_Player toFace:_velocity rotateRadiansPerSec:PLAYER_ROTATE_RADIANS_PER_SEC];
}
}
- (void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint touchLocation = [touch locationInNode:self.scene];
[self movePlayerToward:touchLocation];
}
- (void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint touchLocation = [touch locationInNode:self.scene];
[self movePlayerToward:touchLocation];
}

I assume you are using the Zombie Conga code which uses static const to set fixed movement and rotation speed values.
In your code you have the line float amtToRotate = rotateRadiansPerSec * _dt;
Make sure you have the rotateRadiansPerSec value set properly as this controls the speed of your rotation.
In the Conga code, the value was:
static const float ZOMBIE_ROTATE_RADIANS_PER_SEC = 4 * M_PI;

Speed of touch varies with number of objects on Scene

I am creating game in which user can hit the object falling from the top of the screen with the racket. user can continuously move the racket but if it is at minimal speed or is at rest it should not hit the object, but if it above the minimal speed user should hit them. I have achieved that but the issue is when user start touching the racket which continously move with the user touch, the speed varition is their it does not start with the same speed and while touch is moving at that time also some times speed is very less even though the movement is fast. Here is my piece of code
-(void)didMoveToView:(SKView *)view {
self.physicsWorld.contactDelegate = (id)self;
racketNode = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:#"racket"];
racketNode.size = CGSizeMake(50,50);
racketNode.position = CGPointMake(self.frame.origin.x + self.frame.size.width - 50,50);
racketNode.name = #"racket";
[self addChild:racketNode];
}
-(void) didBeginContact:(SKPhysicsContact *)contact {
SKSpriteNode *nodeA = (SKSpriteNode *)contact.bodyA.node ;
SKSpriteNode *nodeB = (SKSpriteNode *) contact.bodyB.node;
if (([nodeA.name isEqualToString:#"racket"] && [nodeB.name isEqualToString:#"fallingObject"])) {
if (racketNode.speed > kMinSpeed)
[nodeB removeFromParent];
else {
nodeB.physicsBody.contactTestBitMask = 0;
[self performSelector:#selector(providingCollsion:) withObject:nodeB afterDelay:0.1];
}
}
}
-(void) providingCollsion:(SKSpriteNode *) node {
node.physicsBody.contactTestBitMask = racketHit;
}
-(void) touchesBegan:(NSSet<UITouch *> *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
for (UITouch *touch in touches) {
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
start = location;
startTime = touch.timestamp;
racketNode.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:racketNode.frame.size];
racketNode.physicsBody.categoryBitMask = racket;
racketNode.physicsBody.contactTestBitMask = HitIt;
racketNode.physicsBody.dynamic = NO;
racketNode.physicsBody.affectedByGravity = NO;
[racketNode runAction:[SKAction moveTo:location duration:0.01]];
}
}
- (void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
racketNode.physicsBody = nil;
racketNode.speed = 0;
}
-(void) touchesMoved:(NSSet<UITouch *> *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
CGFloat dx = location.x - start.x;
CGFloat dy = location.y - start.y;
CGFloat magnitude = sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy);
// Determine time difference from start of the gesture
CGFloat dt = touch.timestamp - startTime;
// Determine gesture speed in points/sec
CGFloat speed = magnitude/dt;
racketNode.speed = speed;
[handNode runAction:[SKAction moveTo:[touch locationInNode:self] duration:0.01]];
}
Please tell me which part my code is wrong so as to make same object collide with high speed only not on slow speed and also no collision on stable state.
Instead of doing it manually, use UIPanGestureRecognizer to handle your swipes. With it, there is a velocity property that you can use to check if the speed is greater than a given value.
Here is a great tutorial to do it:

Move CCSprite based on users touch - Cocos2d

I have an object that I wish to move 50 pixels in the direction the the touch event occurs. It is a fixed CCSprite called _eyeObject.
I know I need to use
- (void)touchBegan:(UITouch *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
CGPoint touchLocation = [touches locationInNode:self];
//Not sure what to do now
}
How would I calculate the CCSprite to move 50 pixels towards the users touch? Then move back to the original position when the touch ends?
A starting point would be great....I don't need to know how to animate or anything, just the calculation.
Whenever a touch happens you want to move 50 pixels in that direction you can do (based on your desire to do it based on a statically positioned eye object sprite):
- (void)touchBegan:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
CGPoint touchPos = [touch locationInNode:self];
CGPoint delta = ccpSub(touchPos, self.eyeObject.position);
float moveAmount = 50.0f;
CGPoint moveVec;
if (delta.x > 0.0f)
{
moveVec.x = moveAmount;
}
else
{
moveVec.x = -moveAmount;
}
if (delta.y > 0.0f)
{
moveVec.y = moveAmount;
}
else
{
moveVec.y = -moveAmount;
}
self.spriteStartPosition = self.sprite.position;
self.sprite.position = ccpAdd(self.sprite.position, moveVec);
}
- (void)touchEnded:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
self.sprite.position = self.spriteStartPosition;
}
If the object you are moving IS that eyeObject then it would be:
- (void)touchBegan:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
CGPoint touchPos = [touch locationInNode:self];
CGPoint delta = ccpSub(touchPos, self.eyeObject.position);
float moveAmount = 50.0f;
CGPoint moveVec;
if (delta.x > 0.0f)
{
moveVec.x = moveAmount;
}
else
{
moveVec.x = -moveAmount;
}
if (delta.y > 0.0f)
{
moveVec.y = moveAmount;
}
else
{
moveVec.y = -moveAmount;
}
self.eyeObjStartPosition = self.eyeObject.position;
self.eyeObject.position = ccpAdd(self.eyeObject.position, moveVec);
}
- (void)touchEnded:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
self.eyeObject.position = self.eyeObjStartPosition;
}
To move in general if the static object was representing a joystick or gamepad (would do the same in touch began so I'd separate this into its own method):
- (void)touchMoved:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
CGPoint touchPos = [touch locationInNode:self];
CGPoint delta = ccpSub(touchPos, self.dPad.position);
float moveAmount = 50.0f;
if (delta.x > 0.0f)
{
self.sprite.position.x += moveAmount;
}
else
{
self.sprite.position.x -= moveAmount;
}
if (delta.y > 0.0f)
{
self.sprite.position.y += moveAmount;
}
else
{
self.sprite.position.y -= moveAmount;
}
}
Here's a simple solution - get the unit vector between the two points, multiply it by 50, and add it to the current position. AKA this:
- (void)touchBegan:(UITouch *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
CGPoint touchLocation = [touches locationInNode:self];
//Not sure what to do now
CGPoint destinationVector = ccpSub(touchPos, self.eyeObject.position);
CGPoint movementVector = ccpNormalize(destinationVector);
movementVector = ccpMult(movementVector, 50);
[_eyeObject runAction:[CCActionMoveTo actionWithDuration:1.0 position:ccpAdd(_eyeObject, movementVector)]];
}
If you want to have it move back on touchEnded, just save the position in a variable before you move it the first time, and send it back to that spot on touchEnded.

Drag SKSpriteNode based on touch location

I am trying to drag a sprite in the y axis but make the sprite "stick" to the users finger depending on where the touches began on the node.
The sprite is currently dragging but it seems to be snapping the anchorpoint of the sprite to the touch location within the node.
Im assuming it has something to do with getting the location within the node by doing [touch locationInNode:selectedNode]; but I am unsure where to go from there.
Here is my current code.
-(void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
for (UITouch *touch in touches) {
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
CGPoint newPosition = CGPointMake(node.position.x, location.y);
if ([node.name isEqualToString:self.selectedNode] ) {
if (newPosition.y > 230) {
newPosition.y = 230;
}
node.position = newPosition;
}
}
}
You need to offset the newPosition based on the current touch position on the node.
-(void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
for (UITouch *touch in touches)
{
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
if ([node.name isEqualToString:self.selectedNode] )
{
CGPoint previousLocation = [touch previousLocationInNode:self];
float diff = location.y - previousLocation.y;
CGPoint newPosition = CGPointMake(node.position.x, node.position.y + diff);
if (newPosition.y > 230) {
newPosition.y = 230;
}
node.position = newPosition;
}
}
}
There are a couple of ways of doing this. The sample code below tracks the user's touch location and moves the sprite towards that position during the update method. You can modify the code to only move on the y axis or x axis.
#implementation MyScene
{
SKSpriteNode *object1;
CGPoint destinationLocation;
}
-(id)initWithSize:(CGSize)size
{
if (self = [super initWithSize:size])
{
[self createObject];
destinationLocation = CGPointMake(300, 150);
}
return self;
}
-(void)createObject
{
object1 = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor redColor] size:CGSizeMake(50, 50)];
object1.position = CGPointMake(300, 150);
[self addChild:object1];
}
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
destinationLocation = [touch locationInNode:self.scene];
}
-(void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
destinationLocation = [touch locationInNode:self.scene];
}
-(void)update:(CFTimeInterval)currentTime
{
float x = fabs(object1.position.x - destinationLocation.x);
float y = fabs(object1.position.y - destinationLocation.y);
float divider = 0;
if(x > y)
{
divider = x;
} else
{
divider = y;
}
float xMove = (x/divider)*8; // change number to increase or decrease speed
float yMove = (y/divider)*8; // change number to increase or decrease speed
if(object1.position.x > destinationLocation.x)
object1.position = CGPointMake(object1.position.x-xMove, object1.position.y);
if(object1.position.x < destinationLocation.x)
object1.position = CGPointMake(object1.position.x+xMove, object1.position.y);
if(object1.position.y > destinationLocation.y)
object1.position = CGPointMake(object1.position.x, object1.position.y-yMove);
if(object1.position.y < destinationLocation.y)
object1.position = CGPointMake(object1.position.x, object1.position.y+yMove);
}
#end

Passing iOS sprites from one class to another

I have a Spritekit project in xcode on my main screen. However I would really like to manage it from another class so as to not cluster my main. So I added a new class to manage and handle it. Sadly I can't seem to get it to show in my main (or I might be doing it wrong). My myscene.m consists of pretty much the same code including the spaceship and this is where I moved the code too ( I didn't bother adding the methods like touchesBegan)
// joysitck.m
// controlpad
//
#import "joysitck.h"
#implementation joysitck
{
BOOL controlButtonOn;
}
float controlx=200;
float controly=200;
float touchX = 0.0;
float touchY=0.0;
- (instancetype)init
{
if (self = [super init]) {
self.name = #"controlPadNode";
SKSpriteNode *controlPadNode = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:#"game-controller-frontb"];
controlPadNode.position = CGPointMake(controlx,controly);
[controlPadNode setScale:0.5];
controlPadNode.name = #"controlPadNode";
controlPadNode.zPosition = 1.0;
[self addChild:controlPadNode];
}
return self;
}
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
//if control pad touched
if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"controlPadNode"]) {
touchX = location.x;
touchY = location.y;
controlButtonOn= true;
}
}
//when touch moves
- (void) touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
//if control pad touched
if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"controlPadNode"]) {
touchX = location.x;
touchY = location.y;
controlButtonOn= true;
}
}
- (void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
//if control pad touched
if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"controlPadNode"]) {
controlButtonOn= false;
}
}
//update method
-(void)update:(NSTimeInterval)currentTime {
if (controlButtonOn) {
//the control pad
SKNode *controlNode = [self childNodeWithName:#"controlPadNode"];
SKNode *node = [self childNodeWithName:#"spaceShipNode"];
float angle = atan2f (touchY - controly, touchX - controlx) ;
SKAction *moveShip=[SKAction moveByX:6*cosf(angle) y:0 duration:0.005];
[node runAction: moveShip];
}
}
#end
You haven't added joystick node to the scene.
Add this code to MyScene's initWithSize method (before [self addship]):
joysitck *joysitckNode = [[joysitck alloc] init];
[self addChild:joysitckNode];

Rotate imageView as per touch

I am rotating imageView which is minuit hand of a clock, with
-(void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch view] == _imgViewMinuit)
{
NSLog(#"Touched");
_imgMinuitHand.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(_imgMinuitHand.transform,DEGREES_RADIANS(6));
}
}
Now i want to rotate it as per my finger, clockwise/anticlockwise, with speed of my touch.
How I can achieve this ?
check this code
-(void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch=[[event allTouches]anyObject];
[self transformSpinnerwithTouches:touch];
}
-(void)transformSpinnerwithTouches:(UITouch *)touchLocation
{
CGPoint touchLocationpoint = [touchLocation locationInView:self.view];
CGPoint PrevioustouchLocationpoint = [touchLocation previousLocationInView:self.view];
//origin is the respective piont from that i gonna measure the angle of the current position with respective to previous position ....
CGPoint origin;
origin.x = arrow.center.x;
origin.y = arrow.center.y;
CGPoint previousDifference = [self vectorFromPoint:origin toPoint:PrevioustouchLocationpoint];
CGAffineTransform newTransform = CGAffineTransformScale(arrow.transform, 1, 1);
CGFloat previousRotation = atan2(previousDifference.y, previousDifference.x);
CGPoint currentDifference = [self vectorFromPoint:origin toPoint:touchLocationpoint];
CGFloat currentRotation = atan2(currentDifference.y, currentDifference.x);
CGFloat newAngle = currentRotation- previousRotation;
temp1 = temp1 + newAngle;
//NSLog(#"temp1 is %f",temp1);
//NSLog(#"Angle:%F\n",(temp1*180)/M_PI);
newTransform = CGAffineTransformRotate(newTransform, newAngle);
[self animateView:arrow toPosition:newTransform];
}
-(void)animateView:(UIView *)theView toPosition:(CGAffineTransform) newTransform
{
arrow.transform = newTransform;
}
-(CGPoint)vectorFromPoint:(CGPoint)firstPoint toPoint:(CGPoint)secondPoint
{
CGFloat x = secondPoint.x - firstPoint.x;
CGFloat y = secondPoint.y - firstPoint.y;
CGPoint result = CGPointMake(x, y);
//NSLog(#"%f %f",x,y);
return result;
}
