How do I rotate an SKLabelNode in a company with its parent SKShapeNode?
When you tap the screen, balls are created with the following codes:
var n = 1
func addBall(_ x:CGFloat){
let numShape = SKShapeNode(circleOfRadius: 30)
numShape.name = "ball"
numShape.position = CGPoint(x: x, y: frame.maxY-40)
numShape.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(circleOfRadius: 30)
numShape.fillColor = SKColor.white
numShape.physicsBody?.density = 0.1
numShape.physicsBody?.affectedByGravity = true
numShape.physicsBody?.friction = 0;
numShape.physicsBody?.restitution = 0.6
numShape.physicsBody?.allowsRotation = true
numShape.physicsBody?.isDynamic = true
let numLabel = SKLabelNode(fontNamed: "Helvetica")
numLabel.text = "\(n)"
numLabel.name = "\(n)"
numLabel.fontColor = .red
numLabel.position = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)
numLabel.verticalAlignmentMode = .center
numShape.addChild(numLabel)
self.addChild(numShape)
n += 1
}
The balls can rotate, but their numNabel childNode does not rotate in company with them. I am trying to update zRotation like below:
override func update(_ currentTime: TimeInterval) {
self.enumerateChildNodes(withName: "ball") {
node, stop in
if (node is SKShapeNode) {
let ball = node as! SKShapeNode
let num = ball.children[0]
num.zRotation = ball.zRotation
}
}
}
They still refuse to spin. If I change zRotation just like num.zRotation = 2
they work.
How can I get them to rotate in company with SKShapeNode?
thank.

You need to set friction to a number other than 0.
Also, regarding the characteristic of the form node:
look at the number of devils at the bottom of the 50 shapes:
for _ in 1...50 {
let x = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(frame.maxX));
let xx = CGFloat(x) - size.width/4
let y = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(frame.maxY))
let yy = CGFloat(y) - size.width/4
let shape = SKShapeNode(circleOfRadius: 50)
shape.strokeColor = .blue
shape.lineWidth = 1
shape.position = CGPoint(x: xx, y: yy)
addChild(shape)
}
But now compare this to a picture of just 2 draws with a few lines of refactoring:
func addFiftySprites() {
let shape = SKShapeNode(circleOfRadius: 50)
shape.strokeColor = .blue
shape.lineWidth = 1
let texture = SKView().texture(from: shape)
for _ in 1...50 {
let x = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(frame.maxX));
let xx = CGFloat(x) - size.width/4
let y = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(frame.maxY))
let yy = CGFloat(y) - size.width/4
let sprite = SKSpriteNode(texture: texture)
sprite.position = CGPoint(x: xx, y: yy)
addChild(sprite)
}
}
The magic here is using let texture = SKView().texture(from: <SKNode>)
to transform the shape into a sprite :)let sprite = SKSpriteNode(texture: texture)
