What am i doing wrong when I switch scenes? - swift

I am developing a game on sprite kit, and when the player loses they are taken to the EndScene and giving the option to play again. The problem I am having is when the player presses the button to play again they are taken to the GameScene, but instead the GameScene its appearing all blue. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I posted the EndScene below, if you need me to post the GameScene class just ask.
class EndScene: SKScene {
var RestartBtn : UIButton!
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
scene?.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
RestartBtn = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.size.width, height: 30))
RestartBtn.setTitle("Restart", forState: UIControlState.Normal)
RestartBtn.setTitleColor(UIColor.darkGrayColor(), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
RestartBtn.addTarget(self, action: Selector("Restart"), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
self.view?.addSubview(RestartBtn)
}
func Restart() {
// close EndScene and start the game again
self.view?.presentScene(GameScene())
RestartBtn.removeFromSuperview()
}
}

From what I can see, when there's a collision with person, you're removing nodes from the view, so they're still going to be gone when you recall GameScene from the restart() function in the EndScene.
What you can do is create a func initialScene() in GameScene where you create everything in that function and call it in the didMoveToView function (instead of doing it all in the didMoveToView function). That way, whenever you present the GameScene from another class, it will call that function and recreate everything you need as if you actually restarted. Hope that's a helpful start, if you need anything else just comment.

Swift programming. Possible problem with SKPhysicscontact

I'm working on a project / game and I'm stuck at adding new enemies to the game and to program them. This is how my code looked before I started changing and only had one type of "alien". I want to create two new types, one that you lose 5 points from hitting and one 10. In the code now, there is only one of three and it gives +5 points. How would you guys add the two new? I think I'm overthinking it and that's why I messed up.

I wouldn't recommend following this answer if your game becomes more complex. Normally I would say put the aliens in subclasses initialized with their own categorybitmasks and other properties, but to avoid modifying your code too much I just changed the addAlien() method and didBeginContact method. Each alien has its own categoryBitMask and textureName.
let alienCategories:[UInt32] = [(0x1 << 1),(0x1 << 2),(0x1 << 3)]
let alienTextureNames:[String] = ["alien1","alien2","alien3"]
This will make a random Alien using the values in the collections above
func addAlien () {
//Random index between 0 and 2 changing the texture and category bitmask
let index = Int.random(in: 0...2)
let textureName = alienTextureNames[index]
let alien = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: textureName)
//Use Int.random() if you don't want a CGFLoat
let xPos = CGFloat.random(in: 0...414)
let yPos = frame.size.height + alien.size.height
alien.position = CGPoint(x: xPos, y: yPos)
alien.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(rectangleOf: alien.size)
alien.physicsBody?.isDynamic = true
alien.physicsBody?.categoryBitMask = alienCategories[index]
alien.physicsBody?.contactTestBitMask = photonTorpedoCategory
alien.physicsBody?.collisionBitMask = 0
self.addChild(alien)
let moveAction = SKAction.moveTo(y: -alien.size.height, duration: 6)
alien.run(moveAction, completion: { alien.removeFromParent() })
}
func didBegin(_ contact: SKPhysicsContact) {
var firstBody:SKPhysicsBody
var secondBody:SKPhysicsBody
if contact.bodyA.categoryBitMask < contact.bodyB.categoryBitMask {
firstBody = contact.bodyA
secondBody = contact.bodyB
}else{
firstBody = contact.bodyB
secondBody = contact.bodyA
}
if firstBody.categoryBitMask == photonTorpedoCategory && secondBody.categoryBitMask == alienCategories[0] {
torpedoDidCollideWithAlien(torpedoNode: firstBody.node as! SKSpriteNode, alienNode: secondBody.node as! SKSpriteNode)
score += 5
}else if firstBody.categoryBitMask == photonTorpedoCategory && secondBody.categoryBitMask == alienCategories[1] {
torpedoDidCollideWithAlien(torpedoNode: firstBody.node as! SKSpriteNode, alienNode: secondBody.node as! SKSpriteNode)
score -= 5
}else if firstBody.categoryBitMask == photonTorpedoCategory && secondBody.categoryBitMask == alienCategories[2] {
torpedoDidCollideWithAlien(torpedoNode: firstBody.node as! SKSpriteNode, alienNode: secondBody.node as! SKSpriteNode)
score -= 10
}
}
Change the torpedoNode.physicsBody?.contactTestBitMask = alienCategory line in the fireTorpedo method to alien.physicsBody?.contactTestBitMask = (alienCategories[0] | alienCategories[1] | alienCategories[2])

Swift SpriteKit Game gives error 'Attempted to add a SKNode which already has a parent'

I have a SpriteKit game and I am using a SKAction to move my meteor (the meteors are the enemies) all the way to the end of the screen where the player (the player is at the bottom of the screen, and they can only move on the x-axis to dodge meteors not the y) must dodge these meteors. Right I'm only trying to get one meteor on the screen at a time which moves towards the direction of the player using SKAction. There should only be on meteor at a time on the screen, but I get the error 'Attempted to add a SKNode which already has a parent'. My SKAction adds the meteor to the screen but then deletes it after the meteor has moved to its destination which is all then way to the bottom of the screen. So why am I getting this error and how can I fix it?
NOTE: The SKAction removes the meteor from the screen by using meteor.removeFromParent()
Here is my code:

Thanks for taking the time to look at this question!
I simply had to remove the self.addChild(meteor) in the update function

sprite kit collision not working

This is a game I have been working on. In summary there is a moving block named enemy and I want it to collide with an invisible static block called invisibleGround2.

Not an swer, but some things to check:
Have you set the scene’s physicsworld delegate property set to
self?
Move didBegin outside of update
Is the 'enemy' sprite's width < 95?
Add a print("Contact detected") as the first line of your relocated didBegin so you at least know that some contact has been detected.
See my answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/43605825/1430420 for a simple SK collision demo which might help - I think it needs updates to Swift 4 which I'll try and do.

Changing the interval of a timer in an if statement

I'm creating a game that involves a timer that spawns objects every second that fall down the screen. To gain points you must catch the objects.
I want the rate of spawning to increase once the player reaches a certain amount of points.
I have tried to do this by assigning the interval of the timer an integer (SpeedNumber) value of 1 second to start with and have created and if statement that is supposed to change that integer to 0.5 once the player reaches a certain amount of points. This makes sense to me but it is not working.
Why is this not working and what should I change?

You could do what you want as follows:
First declare 2 properties (in your class but outside all the function definitions)
var timeOfLastSpawn: CFTimeInterval = 0.0
var timePerSpawn: CFTimeInterval = 1.0
Then, in Update, check to see if the timePerSpawn has been exceeded. If so, call your spawn process which spawns new objects and then reset the time since the last spawn:
override func update(currentTime: CFTimeInterval) {
/* Called before each frame is rendered */
if (currentTime - timeOfLastSpawn > timePerSpawn) {
spawnObject()
self.timeOfLastSpawn = currentTime
}
}
func spawnObject() {
// Your spawn code here
}
The advantage of making the spawn process a separate function is that you can call it from didMoveToView or any other place to spawn objects outside of the normal time-controlled cycle.
You can change the value of timePerSpawn as necessary to control the rate at which objects are spawned.
You could also look into creating an SKAction that runs spawnObject at specified time intervals, but I think to change the rate at which objects are spawned, you'll have to delete and re-create the SKAction, but your could do this in a setter for timePerSpawn.
You shouldn't really use NSTimer is SpriteKit, as the SpriteKit engine will be unaware of what the timer is doing and can't control it (one example is that the timer keeps running if the set the scene to paused).
You should move your declaration of var IceThreeTimer to the class level (outside of the method, right where you declare SpeedNumber. This will make sure that your handle to the pointer will be available in both the didMoveToView and didBeginContact methods.
In didMoveToView you change your declaration to:
// I removed the "var"
IceThreeTimer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(SpeedNumber, target: self, selector: ("spawnThirdIce"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
Then in didBeginContact you modify:
if scorenumber == 5 {
SpeedNumber = 0.5
// Stop the already running timer
IceThreeTimer.invalidate()
// Schedule a new timer
IceThreeTimer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(SpeedNumber, target: self, selector: ("spawnThirdIce"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}
