How can I check if player is touching the screen every frame? I want something similar to when you keep touch the screen in the game Geometry Dash you keep on jumping if you touch the ground. I tried this but i didn't work:
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
isTouching = true
}
and the same with touchDown function:
func touchDown(atPoint pos : CGPoint) {
isTouching = true
}
Try the following code:
var isTouching = false
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
isTouching = true
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
isTouching = false
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
isTouching = true
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
isTouching = false
}
you can then check in your update loop
if isTouching == true {
do something
}
else {
do something else
}

I am implementing keyboard close as follows but it doesn't work.
extension SleepDiaryViewController: UITextFieldDelegate {
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
super.touchesBegan(touches, with: event)
view.endEditing(true)
}
}
Any ideas why this isn't working?
I would like to make "aware" SKSpriteNode aware that touch is outside the node.(for example changing color)
I would like to use tuochesMoved (out of node) if it is possible
I don't want to connect them in any other way.
Those spries should be independend.
How to do that?
Thank you
Obviously you can implement the touchesBegan method to handle touches events :
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
// ...
}
super.touchesBegan(touches, with: event)
}
And the other events to handle touches with the current Swift 3 syntax are:
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
}
override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
}
override func touchesCancelled(_ touches: Set<UITouch>?, with event: UIEvent?) {
// Don't forget to add "?" after Set<UITouch>
}
About this, if you don't want to subclass your SKSpriteNode to add useful properties, you can use the userData property to store information about other nodes or himself and also about the current context:
yourSprite.userData = NSMutableDictionary()
yourSprite.userData?.setValue(SKColor.blue, forKeyPath: "currentColor")
yourSprite.userData?.setValue(true, forKeyPath: "selected")
I am using Swift 3 with Xcode 8 and I am trying to make simple game with SpritKit. Basically what I'm trying to do is allow player to move my sprite only left and right ( drag it on screen ) and after realising finger ( touch ended ) apply impulse on sprite. I have managed to do that BUT i want that to happen only on first touch, so after applying impulse on sprite player cannot interact with sprite anymore until some collison happens or simillar. Below is my code which works all the time not only on first touch.
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
}
override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
for t in touches {
let location = t.location(in: self)
if player.contains(location)
{
player.position.x = location.x
}
}
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
for t in touches {
if let t = touches.first {
player.physicsBody?.isDynamic = true
player.physicsBody?.applyImpulse(CGVector(dx: 0, dy: 50))
}
}
}
As Whirlwind commented, you just need a boolean value to determine when you should control the object:
/// Indicates when the object can be moved by touch
var canInteract = true
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
}
override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
for t in touches {
let location = t.location(in: self)
if player.contains(location) && canInteract
{
player.position.x = location.x
}
}
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
for t in touches {
if let t = touches.first && canInteract {
canInteract = false //Now we cant't interact anymore.
player.physicsBody?.isDynamic = true
player.physicsBody?.applyImpulse(CGVector(dx: 0, dy: 50))
}
}
}
/* Call this when you want to be able to control it again, on didBeginContact
after some collision, etc... */
func activateInteractivity(){
canInteract = true
// Set anything else you want, like position and physicsBody properties
}
I'm trying to update multiple images upon clicking and dragging over the elements. I've implemented touchesbegan, touchesmoved, and touchesended, but I don't know how to make touchesmoved effect multiple images.
I've been scouring the web, but I haven't been able to find any guides on this. If you could point me in the right direction, or provide me with some basic advice, that would be greatly appreciated.
The following is an example image:
Edit: The following is an example image of what should be possible:
What it should look like.
I'd like to be able to effect the other letters in the same way through the same press, changing their pictures. These pictures are temporary images.
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
print("touches began:\(touches)")
}
override func touchesMoved(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
self.image = UIImage(named: "slot")!
print("touches moved:\(touches)")
}
override func touchesEnded(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
self.image = UIImage(named: "tile")!
print("touches ended")
}
If I understood you correctly, that should be something like this:
class ChangableView: UIView {
private var touchedImageView: UIImageView? {
didSet {
if oldValue == touchedImageView { return }
if let oldValue = oldValue {
oldValue.image = UIImage(named: "tile")!
}
if let newValue = touchedImageView {
newValue.image = UIImage(named: "slot")!
}
}
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
guard let touch = touches.first else { return }
updateTouchedImageViewWithTouch(touch, event: event)
}
override func touchesMoved(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
guard let touch = touches.first else { return }
updateTouchedImageViewWithTouch(touch, event: event)
}
override func touchesEnded(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
touchedImageView = nil
}
}
private extension ChangableView {
func updateTouchedImageViewWithTouch(touch: UITouch, event: UIEvent?) {
let touchPoint = touch.locationInView(self)
let touchedView = self.hitTest(touchPoint, withEvent: event)
touchedImageView = touchedView as? UIImageView
}
}
In addition your UIViewController should have as view a subclass of ChangableView and do not forget to set userInteractionEnabled property to all the UIImageViews to YES.
All i'm trying to do is be able to drag and drop a sprite across the screen. I've tried the following code:
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
}
override func touchesMoved(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
for touch in (touches ) {
let location = touch.locationInNode(self)
if ball.containsPoint(location) {
ball.position = location
}
}
}
This code does work, however, when I drag the ball quite fast, I guess it detects that the "ball" no longer contains the point "location" and the ball stops, meaning I have pick the ball up again. I want the ball to be able to respond to my touches quickly, so that the ball wont stop moving. How would I do this?
This is the correct way to do it in Sprite Kit. Like I said in my comment, you need to assign the moving node to an activate state, in this case I use a variable called movableNode to act is my activate state. When you touch the ball, it becomes activated by assigning it to movableNode. Then as you drag your finger, movableNode will go with the drag, Then once you release, you enter a deactivate state by setting movableNode to nil. Note that this code will only work on single touch applications, if you want to handle multitouch, then you need to track which touch is doing the dragging.
var movableNode : SKNode?
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
let location = touch.locationInNode(self)
if ball.containsPoint(location) {
movableNode = ball
movableNode!.position = location
}
}
}
override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first where movableNode != nil {
movableNode!.position = touch.locationInNode(self)
}
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first where movableNode != nil {
movableNode!.position = touch.locationInNode(self)
movableNode = nil
}
}
override func touchesCancelled(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
movableNode = nil
}
}
KnightOFDragon solution works just fine. I just added few lines if you don't want to move sprite centre position to position where your finger touched the screen and you would like to move sprite from its centre original position.
var movableNode : SKNode?
var ballStartX: CGFloat = 0.0
var ballStartY: CGFloat = 0.0
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
let location = touch.location(in: self)
if (map?.contains(location))! {
movableNode = ball
ballStartX = (movableNode?.position.x)! - location.x // Location X of your sprite when touch started
ballStartY = (movableNode?.position.y)! - location.y // Location Y of your sprite when touch started
}
}
}
override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first, movableNode != nil {
let location = touch.location(in: self)
movableNode!.position = CGPoint(x: location.x+ballStartX, y: location.y+ballStartY) // Move node around with distance to your finger
}
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let _ = touches.first, movableNode != nil {
movableNode = nil
}
}
override func touchesCancelled(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
movableNode = nil
}
I have an implementation where I've subclassed a UIImageView and called it a "DraggableImage"
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
originalPosition = self.center
}
override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
let position = touch.location(in: self.superview)
self.center = CGPoint(x: position.x, y: position.y)
}
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
self.center = originalPosition
}
