Show Medals after died in Sprite Kit - swift

Question

In my Game I would like to have Medals like in Flappy Bird. So after the player die it should show the right medal. I made this code:
if self.score > 4{
let platinummedalTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "medal_platinum.png")
self.platinummedal = SKSpriteNode(texture: platinummedalTexture)
self.platinummedal.setScale(1)
self.platinummedal.zPosition = 120
self.platinummedal.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame)-65, CGRectGetMidY(self.frame)-0 - 10)
self.addChild(self.platinummedal)
}
if self.score > 3{
let goldmedalTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "medal_gold.png")
self.goldmedal = SKSpriteNode(texture: goldmedalTexture)
self.goldmedal.setScale(1)
self.goldmedal.zPosition = 120
self.goldmedal.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame)-65, CGRectGetMidY(self.frame)-0 - 10)
self.addChild(self.goldmedal)
}
if self.score > 2{
let silvermedalTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "medal_silver.png")
self.silvermedal = SKSpriteNode(texture: silvermedalTexture)
self.silvermedal.setScale(1)
self.silvermedal.zPosition = 120
self.silvermedal.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame)-65, CGRectGetMidY(self.frame)-0 - 10)
self.addChild(self.silvermedal)
}
if self.score > 1{
let bronzemedalTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "medal_bronze.png")
self.bronzemedal = SKSpriteNode(texture: bronzemedalTexture)
self.bronzemedal.setScale(1)
self.bronzemedal.zPosition = 120
self.bronzemedal.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame)-65, CGRectGetMidY(self.frame)-0 - 10)
self.addChild(self.bronzemedal)
}
In the game the score is higher to reach the medals but I put it on this Numbers for testing. So my problem is, if I get a score of 5 or higher it should display the Platinum Medal but it only displays the Gold one after 4 and higher.
The others works well. (2 = Bronze, 3 = silver, 4 = gold, 5 = gold -> wrong)
I dont know how to fix that problem and maybe someone of you can help me.

Answer 1

There are likely better ways to do this, although since you want to know what is wrong this answer will be focused on your structure. Basically you have a conflict with the gold and platinum because there's nothing stopping the if statement from continuing down to the 4 even though the score is above that. What I would recommend is to use an else if statement after your first if:
var score : Int = 5
if score >= 5 {
print("platinum")
}
else if score >= 4 {
print("gold")
}
else if score >= 3 {
print("silver")
}
else if score <= 2 {
print("bronze")
}
Also you should use less than/greater along with equals to make sure that you are setting the right medal for the appropriate score. I personally like a bottom up approach (it's just the reverse of what you see above), but it's really personal preference in that regard. Here's an example:
var score : Int = 5
if score <= 2 {
print("bronze")
}
else if score <= 3 {
print("silver")
}
else if score <= 4 {
print("gold")
}
else if score >= 5 {
print("platinum")
}
