Sprite Kit pause game when lose a life - ios

Question

I can not figure this out. I have a game where a player has to catch berries as they fall from the sky. When the player misses one, I want the screen to flash red and the berries to stop falling and for the game to pause for 3 seconds then resume.
#interface SpriteMyScene : SKScene{
SKAction *sceneUnPaused;
SKAction *scenePaused;
}
2 methods to pause the game.
-(SKAction*)unpaused {
sceneUnPaused = [SKAction runBlock:^{
self.scene.view.paused = NO;
}];
return sceneUnPaused;}
-(SKAction*)paused{
scenePaused = [SKAction runBlock:^{
self.scene.view.paused = YES;
}];
return scenePaused;
}
The method that creates the berries and their actions.
- (void)addBerry {
...
...
// Create the actions
//For each individual berry
SKAction * actionMove = ...
SKAction * gameWon = ...
SKAction * actionMoveDone = ...
SKAction *wait3Seconds = [SKAction waitForDuration:3];
SKAction * loseAction = [SKAction runBlock:^{
[self subtractLives];
NSLog(#"Lost a life");
[self vibrate];
[self runAction:scenePaused];
[self runAction:wait3Seconds];
[berry removeFromParent];
[self runAction:sceneUnPaused];
if (_playerLives == 0){
[[SoundManager sharedManager] stopMusic];
SKTransition *reveal = [SKTransition fadeWithDuration:1.0];
SKScene * gameOverScene = [[GameOverScene alloc] initWithSize:self.size andScore:_berriesKilled];
[self.view presentScene:gameOverScene transition: reveal];}}];
SKAction *berrie = [SKAction runBlock:^{
[berry runAction:actionMove];}];
[berry runAction:[SKAction sequence:#[berrie, gameWon, actionMove, loseAction, actionMoveDone]]];
}
I don't know if this is necessary or not for you guys to help me figure out why it won't work, but here is the update method that decides on when I will spawn the berries.
- (void)updateWithTimeSinceLastUpdate:(CFTimeInterval)timeSinceLast {
self.lastSpawnTimeInterval += timeSinceLast;
if (self.lastSpawnTimeInterval > [self determineAmountOfBerries]) {
self.lastSpawnTimeInterval = 0;
[self addBerry];
}
}

Answer 1

When the player misses a berry, just do this:
[self.scene.view setPaused:YES];
Start an NSTimer that does the following after 3 seconds:
[berry removeFromParent];
[self.scene.view setPaused:NO];
