Detect touch on UIView - ios

Question

I have a node that acts like an UIButton and a node that performs an action when the screen gets touched.
The problem is that the lion jump action does not get fired.
In addition: both names of the nodes are correct.
My code for the UIEvent:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode: self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
UITouch *lionTouch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint locationLion = [lionTouch locationInView:[self view]];
SKNode *lionNode = [self nodeAtPoint:locationLion];
if ([lionNode.name isEqualToString:#"veggieLion"]) {
if (!lionIsJumping) {
[self lionJump];
lionIsJumping = YES;
}
}
if ([node.name isEqualToString:#"repalyButton"]) {
// Button action
}
}

Apple documentation for SKNode says the method nodeAtPoint "Returns the deepest descendant that intersects a point."
I've had this trouble in the past. where the method would return the SKSpriteNode that I had used for the background, even if I were definitely tapping the target sprite/node!
Since you are checking for two nodes, I would approach it in the following way:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode: self];
SKNode * lionNode = [self childNodeWithName:#"veggieLion"];
SKNode * replayButton = [self childNodeWithName:#"repalyButton"];
if ([self.lionNode containsPoint:location]) {
if (!lionIsJumping) {
[self lionJump];
lionIsJumping = YES;
}
return;
}
if ([self.replayButton containsPoint:location]) {
// Button action
return;
}
/* test for other targets */
}
