Cocos2d Input layer only recieves touches on top of a sprite - iphone

Question

I'm building a game with Cocos2d for iPhone, and right now I'm trying to get Touch input working. I've enabled touch response on an independent control layer in a multi-layer scene, and it's working fine - except it ONLY fires the touch methods if the touch was on top the sprite that I have on a separate layer(the separate layer is actually just a node). I don't have any other on-screen content aside from that sprite.
here's my control Layer implementation:
#import "ControlLayer2.h"
extern int CONTROL_LAYER_TAG;
#implementation ControlLayer2
+(void)ControlLayer2WithParentNode:(CCNode *)parentNode{
ControlLayer2 *control = [[self alloc] init];
[parentNode addChild:control z:0 tag:CONTROL_LAYER_TAG];
}
-(id)init{
if (self=[super init]){
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector]touchDispatcher] addTargetedDelegate:self priority:0 swallowsTouches:YES];
}
return self;
}
-(BOOL)ccTouchBegan:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
CCLOG(#"touchbegan");
return YES;
}
#end
and here's the layer with the child node that has a sprite inside it:
extern int PLAYER_LAYER_TAG;
int PLAYER_TAG = 1;
#implementation PlayerLayer
//reduces initializing and adding to the gamescene to one line for ease of use
+(void)PlayerLayerWithParentNode:(CCNode *)parentNode{
PlayerLayer *layer = [[PlayerLayer alloc] init];
[parentNode addChild:layer z:1 tag:PLAYER_LAYER_TAG];
}
-(id)init{
if(self = [super init]){
//add the player to the layer, know what I'm sayer(ing)?
[Player playerWithParentNode:self];
}
return self;
}
#end
and finally, the scene that contains them both:
int PLAYER_LAYER_TAG = 1;
int CONTROL_LAYER_TAG = 2;
#implementation GameScene
+(id)scene{
CCScene *scene = [CCScene node];
CCLayer *layer = [GameScene node];
[scene addChild:layer z:0 tag:0];
return scene;
}
-(id)init{
if(self = [super init]){
//[[[CCDirector sharedDirector]touchDispatcher] addTargetedDelegate:[self getChildByTag:0] priority:0 swallowsTouches:YES];
//add the player layer to the game scene (this contains the player sprite)
[ControlLayer2 ControlLayer2WithParentNode:self];
[PlayerLayer PlayerLayerWithParentNode:self];
}
return self;
}
#end
how can I make it so that the control layer responds to ALL touch input?

Answer 1

In init method add this code.
self.touchEnabled = YES;
And use this ccTouchesBegan
- (void)ccTouchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *myTouch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [myTouch locationInView:[myTouch view]];
location = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] convertToGL:location];
//handle touch
}
Remove this line in your code:
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector]touchDispatcher] addTargetedDelegate:self priority:0 swallowsTouches:YES];
