Moving two sprites with the same name at the same time - objective-c

Question

I'm trying to move both a rocket and word attached on the sprite to move up at the same time. However, I've set it such that only the words fly up and not the rocket. I was thinking of renaming rocket (used for words) to something else, but I feel like that would be a terribly inefficient way. Here's what I have so far
- (id)init
{
// Apple recommend assigning self with supers return value
self = [super init];
if (!self) return(nil);
// Enable touch handling on scene node
self.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
//Add a sprite
rocket[0] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"rocket_base_blue.png"];
rocket[0].scale = (0.15f);
rocket[0].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[0].position = ccp(0.5f,0.23f);
rocket[1] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"rocket_base_red.png"];
rocket[1].scale = (0.15f);
rocket[1].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[1].position = ccp(0.7f,0.23f);
rocket[2] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"rocket_base_green.png"];
rocket[2].scale = (0.15f);
rocket[2].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[2].position = ccp(0.9f,0.23f);
[self addChild:rocket[0]];
[self addChild:rocket[1]];
[self addChild:rocket[2]];
[self setupWordRockets:2];
[self intro];
// done
return self;
}
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma mark - Game Events
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- (void)setupWordRockets:(int) wordLength
{
//randomizes the words
NSInteger rando = arc4random() % 2;
if (rando == 1) {
// Add a sprite
rocket[0] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"b.png"];
rocket[0].scale = (0.16f);
rocket[0].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[0].position = ccp(0.5f,0.2f);
rocket[1] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"a.png"];
rocket[1].scale = (.16f);
rocket[1].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[1].position = ccp(0.7f,0.2f);
rocket[2] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"g.png"];
rocket[2].scale = (.16f);
rocket[2].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[2].position = ccp(0.9f,0.2f);
} else {
rocket[0] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"g.png"];
rocket[0].scale = (0.16f);
rocket[0].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[0].position = ccp(0.5f,0.2f);
rocket[1] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"a.png"];
rocket[1].scale = (.16f);
rocket[1].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[1].position = ccp(0.7f,0.2f);
rocket[2] = [CCSprite spriteWithImageNamed:#"p.png"];
rocket[2].scale = (.16f);
rocket[2].positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
rocket[2].position = ccp(0.9f,0.2f);
}
[self addChild:rocket[0]];
[self addChild:rocket[1]];
[self addChild:rocket[2]];
}
- (void)launchRocket
{
CCActionMoveTo *actionMove = [CCActionMoveTo actionWithDuration:1.0f position:ccp(0.5f, 0.9f)];
[rocket[0] runAction:actionMove];
CCActionMoveTo *actionMove2 = [CCActionMoveTo actionWithDuration:1.0f position:ccp(0.5f, 0.9f)];
[rocket[1] runAction:actionMove2];
CCActionMoveTo *actionMove3 = [CCActionMoveTo actionWithDuration:1.0f position:ccp(0.5f, 0.9f)];
[rocket[2] runAction:actionMove3];
[self scheduleOnce:#selector(explode:) delay:1];
}
I'm also wondering if there's also a more efficient way in randomizing the words because I feel like this is the brute force method, or at least a more tedious way of doing this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Thats because when setupWordRockets function works, you store words in rocket array and when you call launchRocket, it moves the words.
You should separate those and use 2 arrays (one for words one for rocket sprites), so you can give proper actions to rockets as well.
