I'm wondering how would you guys approach these kind of problems?</p> <p>Example of action:</p> <p>On touch event:</p> <pre><code>CGPoint location = [[touches anyObject] locationInNode:self]; [character moveToPosition:location]; </code></pre> <p>Inside Character class</p> <pre><code>-(void)move { [self runAction:[SKAction repeatActionForever:[SKAction animateWithTextures:[self walkFrames] timePerFrame:0.1f resize:NO restore:YES]] withKey:@"moving"]; return; } </code></pre> <p>This doesn't do anything. Only way I can get it to work is if Character was a subclass of SKSpriteNode. Running the action against self.sprite also seems kind of hacky and the node itself won't move.</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p>
