Passing iOS sprites from one class to another - ios

Question

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];
}
}

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];
