Can't tap SKSpriteNode - no touch detected ios

Question

I am pretty new to iOS, objective C and working with Xcode. I only did one simple news type app, but now I would like to create a game I had published on another platform.

Answer 1

Your code is essentially correct. Just a few minor changes are required.

You have implemented the -touchesBegan: method in your scene class. If you want to handle touches from within the scene class, then all the child nodes should have the userInteractionEnabled property set to NO. A sprite node's userInteractionEnabled property should be set to YES only when it is capable of handling touches on it's own.

So, in your case you should make the following changes:

1 - Set the spriteNode's userInteraction to NO.

mySKSpriteNode.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

2 - Change the way you check for your own sprite.

if([node isEqual: mySKSpriteNode])

You will find your code is working as intended.
