ios - How to store position in spritekit -

i need change character appearance during game. character define node:

skspritenode* _character; ....  sktexture* tmp = [sktexture texturewithimagenamed:string];             tmp.filteringmode = sktexturefilteringnearest;              [texturearray addobject:tmp];             _character = [skspritenode spritenodewithtexture:tmp]; 

then under condition in game, if check satisfied, change appearance by:

-(void)update:(cftimeinterval)currenttime { /* called before each frame rendered */ if (condition_satisfied) { ... _store.position = _character.position;  [_character removefromparent]; ... //load new character texture here, won't post code, short. .... _character.position = _store.position; ... [self addchild:_character]; } 

i use store node store position, because character's position change during game human touch. in game, cause crash, collision... guess not right way restore right position of character. how should here ?

to change texture set skspritenode's texture property:

_character.texture = [sktexture texturewithimagenamed:@"image"]; 

or use skaction, if want add fading effect when texture changing:

skaction *fadeout = [skaction fadeoutbyduration:0.3f]; skaction *fadein = [skaction fadeinbyduration:0.3f]; skaction *changetexture = [sktexture settexture:[sktexture texturewithimagenamed:@"image"]]; [_character runaction:[skaction sequence:@[fadeout,changetexture,fadein]]]; 

there no need removefromparent node.

if need store node's position, it's better store in @property:

@interface gamescene()  @property (nonatomic) cgpoint characterposition;  @end  @implementation gamescene  -(void)update:(cftimeinterval)currenttime { /* called before each frame rendered */ if (condition_satisfied) { ... self.characterposition = _character.position;  [_character removefromparent]; ... //load new character texture here, won't post code, short. .... _character.position = self.characterposition; ... [self addchild:_character]; }  @end
