Swift: how to disable user interaction while touch action is being carried out?

Question

I\'m working with sprite kit and if the user touches the screen, the actions within

override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
            


        

Answer 1

To disable user interaction app-wide, use:

UIApplication.shared.beginIgnoringInteractionEvents()
UIApplication.shared.endIgnoringInteractionEvents()

(as of Swift 5 this is deprecated)

Answer 2

Try to get the view from the touch object and then dissable the user interaction on it.

touch.view.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
