Move sprite forever - swift

Question

I am trying to move sprite to the right when I press a button on the screen. However, when I try doing it I only have a solution to move the sprite to a certain point. So... I want the sprite to move to the right forever or until i do something else.
This is in Xcode using Swift in SpriteKit.
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
for touch : AnyObject in touches{
let pointInTouch = touch.locationInNode(self)
let tappedNode = nodeAtPoint(pointInTouch)
let tappeNodeName = tappedNode.name
if tappeNodeName == "Btn"{
player.physicsBody?.velocity = CGVectorMake(0, 0)
let action = SKAction.applyImpulse(CGVectorMake(400, 0), duration: 1)
player.runAction(SKAction.repeatActionForever(action))
print("Touched!")
}
}
}

You can simply move your node to the right untill it does exist the scene
class GameScene: SKScene {
private var player: SKSpriteNode!
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
guard let touch = touches.first else { return }
let pointInTouch = touch.locationInNode(self)
let tappedNode = nodeAtPoint(pointInTouch)
if tappedNode.name == "Btn"{
let moveToRight = SKAction.moveToX(self.frame.width + player.frame.width, duration: 5)
player.runAction(moveToRight)
}
}
}
Update: constant speed
If you want the player to move with constant speed you can use this code.
As you can see I am calculating the duration using space / speed. You just need to find the best constant value for speed for your scenario.
class GameScene: SKScene {
private var player: SKSpriteNode!
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
guard let touch = touches.first else { return }
let pointInTouch = touch.locationInNode(self)
let tappedNode = nodeAtPoint(pointInTouch)
let deltaX = self.frame.width + player.frame.width - player.position.x
let speed: CGFloat = 10 // <-- change this to find the best value for you
let duration: NSTimeInterval = NSTimeInterval(deltaX / speed)
if tappedNode.name == "Btn"{
let moveToRight = SKAction.moveByX(deltaX, y:0, duration: duration)
player.runAction(moveToRight)
}
}
}
