Detect Touch event of a Parent SKSpriteNode

  • 772

I have a btnPausethat is a SKSpriteNodeand this node added two children:

let pauseOrange = SKShapeNode(circleOfRadius: 12)
...
let pauseX = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "close")
...
btnPause.addChild(pauseOrange)
btnPause.addChild(pauseX)

self.addChild(btnPause)

where btnPausehas the same size and position as its pauseOrangeand pauseX.

But, with the parent node, it doesn't print anything in the functiontouchesBegan

if node == self.btnPause { print("btnPause")}

instead with its content if it works in the functiontouchesBegan

if node == self.pauseOrange { print("pauseOrange")}

Is there a way that if I touch the container of the nodes, it (the container) will take the event in the function touchesBegan?

What I want to achieve is that when pressing any child node, it is as if they pressed the parent node, thus saving me from doing many ORs in the IF of the functiontouchesBegan

    One possible solution is to create a transparent node with the same size as the parent node, which should be on top of all child nodes, so if they click that node, it means they wanted to click the parent node or any child node.
