Is it possible to get multiple SKNodes with UITapGestureRecognizer? - swift

Question

I currently have multiple balls all on the same SKScene. I handle all touches and gestures within GameScene. Below is the code I use to detect which node was touched, which works.
What I am unsure of, since there are always some touchesMoved when using this on a real device, is there anyway possible for more than one node to receive a tap at the same time? If so I obviously would need to write my code differently.
#objc func tappedView(_ sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
if sender.state == .ended{
let point : CGPoint = sender.location(in: self.view)
var post = sender.location(in: sender.view)
post = self.convertPoint(fromView: post)
if let touchNode = self.atPoint(post) as? MyBall{
//the declaration below is just so I have somewhere to stop in the debugger
var x = 1
}
}
}

Use nodes(at:) to get multiple nodes at a point.
#objc func tappedView(_ sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
if sender.state == .ended{
let point : CGPoint = sender.location(in: self.view)
var post = sender.location(in: sender.view)
post = self.convertPoint(fromView: post)
for touchNode in self.nodes(at:post){
//the declaration below is just so I have somewhere to stop in the debugger
var x = 1
}
}
}
